    They have openly stated that’s their intention, not succeeding yet is not a measure of how much they want to succeed.

      Can you offer any proof of that beyond some disgusting statements by the finance minister, who is not setting military policy?

          Yup that’s bad and I appreciate the source, thanks. The devil’s advocate counterpoint would be that virtually all nations have intelligence “concepts” for wildly implausible actions they have no intention of pursuing. It’s kind of the job of the intelligence agency to prepare for any potential eventuality. I’m pretty sure the US has detailed plans for war with Canada, should they be needed. Egypt is the country who originally locked the Gaza Strip down - there is next to zero chance Israel could force a resettlement in Egypt. But if they made an actual attempt, it would be ethnic cleansing. At that point, should the US government continue support, this case would actually have merit.

            The difference here is the Palestinians don’t have passports, they can’t return. Even our war plans with Canada don’t include genocide, this plan does (because there is no opportunity to return).
