Israel is vowing to wipe out Hamas in a relentless onslaught on the Gaza Strip but has no obvious endgame in sight, with no clear plan for how to govern the ravaged Palestinian enclave even if it triumphs on the battlefield.
The Gaza strip ceases to exist when it’s taken by force and “settlers” move in so it becomes part of Israel. Millions of Palestinians die in refugee camps.
Are we talking about the same Sharon that Palestinians hold responsible for the Sabra and Shatila massacre? And the same Sharon whose visit to Al-Aqsa was rightly or wrongly said to be the proximate cause of the Second Intifada (and which ultimately allowed him to come to power)? The same Sharon who built the wall between the West Bank beyond the Green Line effectively annexing large chunks of land in all but name? That Sharon? Just want to make sure that we’re talking about the same guy
Bibi is almost certainly gone the moment the military operations are over. Something like 90% of Israelis hold him responsible for the attacks and want him out.
He’ll be around through the unity government while military operations are conducted, but there’s essentially no chance he has any part of what comes after.
If it depends on him resigning it won’t happen. He is in a survivalist state. He doesn’t care about the outcome of the war as long as he remains in power. He doesn’t care what happens. The only thing he is working on in a time of war is his image and blaming figures from decades ago for this situation.

Let me explain Benjamin Netanyahu.
He is a Machiavellian criminal (I repeat this definition because if you read “the Prince” then you know exactly how he will act):
He has 0 issues with behading children. However, if he gets to stay in power for another 4 years, he will let Hamas behead the whole country.
The war crime of ethnically cleansing Gaza will harm him politically and empower his psycho right winged pals.
It is not in his favor, so it will not happen.
P.S. fucker should rot in prison.
Taken by force? It was taken by force 56 years ago. Since then the Palestinian population in Gaza has increased about 7-fold.
And there were already Israeli settlements there. They were dismantled in 2005 and the settlers forcibly removed by Sharon’s government.
Yea, but Sharon was a lot more sane than bibi… it seems like that asshole has done everything in their power to roll those changes back.

Yup, much more sane than Netanyahu.

So skeptical. And then a few hours later the US gives its blessing for exactly that: https://lemmy.ml/post/6687184 .
And the Israeli defense chief says “troops will soon see Gaza ‘from inside’”
So, for execution of this plan they gave to sector Gaza autonomy and removed (forcefully) Jewish settlements from there. Yeah. Totally makes sense.
