Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that, under orders from him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the IDF will accelerate the demolition of Lebanese homes in frontline villages along the border, “in line with the model we applied in Gaza’s Rafah and Beit Hanoun,” which have been largely flattened.

        The real fantasy is thinking a genocidal ethnostate that relies heavily on billions in welfare from the west is sustainable.

          Israel is a prosperous country. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel

          The economy of Israel is a highly developed free-market economy.[23][4][24][25][26] The prosperity of Israel’s advanced economy allows the country to have a sophisticated welfare state, a powerful modern military said to possess a nuclear-weapons capability with a full nuclear triad, modern infrastructure equivalent to developed countries, and a high-technology sector competitively on par with Silicon Valley.[23] It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world after the United States,[27][needs update] and the third-largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the U.S. and China.[28] American companies, such as Intel,[29] Microsoft,[30] and Apple,[31][32] built their first overseas research and development facilities in Israel. More than 400 high-tech multi-national corporations, such as IBM, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, Facebook and Motorola have opened R&D centers throughout the country.[33] As of 2025, the IMF estimated Israel has the 25th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and one of the biggest economies in the Middle East.[1]

          Israel will accept my proposal because it will get a huge chunk of land in the Sinai. More land equates to a larger population and consequently, a more powerful country.

              That’s what right wing Israelis might want, but under my proposal Israel will only get the Gaza Strip and a large chunk of land in the Sinai. Israel would have to give to Egypt the West Bank and land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. Right wing Israelis want land that Yahweh supposedly gave them, but not all Israelis are very religious.
