Ultimately, this “generous offer” amounted to turning the West Bank into non-contiguous cantons, crisscrossed by a network of settlements, roads and Israeli areas. Even the supposed “capital” of the Palestinian state would mostly be under Israeli control, with stipulations and conditions that stripped any real sovereignty from any area of the supposed Palestinian “state”. Not even the sky above Palestinian heads would be under their control, nor the water under their feet, as Israel still demanded access to water resources under the West Bank.

    It’s meant to impose a sufficiently large cost on Hamas and Islamic Jihad that they don’t repeat it again. Only way out is for those two groups to surrender, which is what they’d do if they actually cared about Palestinians

      So genocide is a sufficiently large cost? THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN JUSTIFY INDISCRIMINATE BOMBINGS AGAINST CIVILIANS. If Hamas does it, it’s bad, but when Israel does it, suddenly it’s a justified response?
