The aftermath

Where on earth did you get those figures?

And, who decided who was and wasn’t a
’combatant’?

there are Palestinian Israelis but although they are nominally citizens they don't have the same rights

There are over 2 million Arab Israelis and they do have the same legal rights in the eyes of Israeli law. From wiki:
" the Israeli Supreme Court has consistently interpreted "Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty"[301] and "Basic Law: Freedom of Occupation (1994)"[302] as guaranteeing equal rights for all Israeli citizens.[303"

They don't however have to do compulsory military service as there is an acknowledgement of conflict of interest (eg possibly having Palestinian relatives in the West Bank).

They do tend to attend separate schools as they have different home languages, but they're certainly not segregated from public hospitals etc as you earlier implied.

In fact Israeli hospitals do (did) also treat Palestinians despite them not being Israeli citizens - some of those murdered in Kibbutz Be'eri were active in collecting Gazans from the border to take them for medical treatment in Israel.

😂 it feels a bit like that on some of these threads.

@Dariamar there are Palestinian Israelis but although they are nominally citizens they don't have the same rights eg. Schools are segregated, and as an example, Jewish people from across the world have right of return to Israel, but there's no such thing as right of return for Palestinian refugees.
In addition only5% of East Jerusalem Palestinians have been granted citizenship although this land was annexed by Israel in 1967.

What do you mean by

"If and when the inevitable unfolds, the Israeli government will only have themselves to blame"

What's the 'inevitable'

Also, both sides seem so blinkered.
Example - the number of times the pro Palestine/anti war marchers have been described as nothing more than antisematic and that everyone on them supports Hamas.

Dear me indeed.

To get back to the question.
I don't know what will happen, I don't think it will end well for Israel though. I've said this before, the world is changing and in decades to come I don't think Israel will be able to count on American or Europe support for it's actions or supply of weapons. It also can't bomb or occupy it's way to peace, that will just stir up even more hatred. I think Israel really, really needs a two state solution. I'm not sure that will be good enough though or will stop the rockets. I think the furture for both the Israelis and Palestinans and wider area looks bleak.

My bad, I didn't realise no-one else was allowed to post on your thread.

This.

What exactly are you disagreeing with? Israel treats Palestinians as second class citizens

But Palestinians aren't Israeli citizens - why on earth would they be treated as if they were?
I'm not agreeing with the actions of settlers in the West Bank, btw. But Palestinians aren't Israelis. There are millions of Arab Israelis and they are certainly not segregated from roads or hospitals.

What exactly are you disagreeing with? Israel treats Palestinians as second class citizens and settlers displace them and bulldoze their property.
In fact one of the hostages from last year's dreadful attacks was involved in taking Palestinian children to hospital in Israel for cancer treatments. Because their parents were not allowed to go with them.

@SharonEllis I see you have had my previous posts deleted.
It's really disappointing when people take views that align them with the very acts they purport to condemn.
Israel's actions are a stain on humanity.
They are in no way a stain on Jewish people. If you can't separate Jewish people from Zionists you will have difficulty criticising these crimes.

Sorry that was to ismu

I started to type a response to this but...🤯 I don't really know where to start.

Ffs. I'm referring to the inconsistency of your argument. I am not saying the US started WW2.

@SharonEllis I'm interested as to why you won't explain why evil acts by Zionists in the IDF can't be compared to other evil acts without being antisemitic?

@Dariamar Israel may have great laws for citizens, however it does not apply those laws to Palestinians. They can't even drive on the same roads or use the same hospitals as Israelis. They aren't even allowed to gather rainwater on their own land.
Israel is a country like South Africa before Mandela, and Israelis believe this is fine. It is not . It is unsustainable.

I am not engaging further with you.
