More than 90 Palestinians killed in Israeli strike on school and mosque sheltering displaced people,

That’s certainly a sensible question,which is a far cry from you making the laughable claim that Israel invaded to conquer the land.

First, I have not read any plan that Israel has so this is all speculation. I’d guess that Israel would insist on a coalition government by the “friendly” surrounding countries to try and govern Gaza. I image Israel will now allow Hamas will not be allowed to have any say. As for rebuilding, I suspect that there will be a multi-national effort to rebuild, much like all wars. As for the blockade, I cannot image Israel allowing anyone from Gaza to gain entry into Israel for some time to come. They won’t get fooled again. Theta and will have to get their work from their own rebuilding, from Egypt, from Syria,and Iran, amongst others.

 

I'm betting on the colonial settler state led by right-wing nationalists who hate Arabs expanding their borders to resettle Israeli Jews. I really hope you are right, but I dont think any sensible person thinks what you lay out is going to happen. There's a possibility that the war just keeps going and its just a perpetual state of whatever this is. But that only happens if we keep sending them arms, which is a pretty good bet given our government.

 

Maybe if we invaded and wiped them out we could have avoided Hello Kitty.

 

Unless you studied under Qatar-financed professors, you’d know Israel is nit a colonial state. It does it seek land expansion, and every inch of its land greater than what was given by the UN charter came as a result of wars started by her enemies. Similarly, Israelis do not hate Arabs. There are Arab Israelies. Israelis despise those who hate Israelis—it’s not that complicated.

Like every country, Israel has far-right (and far-left) politics. Occupying/developing Settlements on Israeli land (conquered in wars) is a hot and heavy political button there. That’s undeniable.

Netanyahu—a populist—moved over the course of his career pretty far right (much like Trump) (and also much like Trump, has major criminal Justice issues). While I am no fan of Netanyahu, Hamas picked the wrong leader to pick a fight.

 

Winner. But it will be much more subtle than simply annexing (all of) Gaza. As it has been.

Obvious winner. Well....what it had been. Which was tolerable enough to all (who had power).

Super obvious winner.

It's all been patently obvious from the start - we've got over 2,000 years of history to inform our expectations.

The only things unmentioned are that the USA will obviously pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, and that all of this could have happened absent the slaughter of so many Palestinian civilians. Although that couldn't have coincided with the preservation of the current shitty Israeli government.

The alternate scenario, based on history and the actors involved, is downright laughable, particularly with this course if Israeli action: destruction of Hamas, cessation of Iranian support for terror, and peace on the Israeli borders? Absurd.
