They have always been headed for the Greater Israel that included some of Lebanon
"They have no intentions of letting any Palestinians live there. Period."
See again:
Hamas will not lose the will to fight. Nor will the Palestinian victims of its actions and the Israeli response insist, to any meaningful effect, upon an end to violence. As on the Israeli side of the equation since the horrors of 7 October, a fundamental line has been crossed.
Western rhetoric notwithstanding, there will be no two-state solution, nor much prospect of meaningful steps being taken towards achieving one. Instead, there will be recurring cycles of violence.
Israel will prevail in those conflicts with the Palestinians until, one day, it doesn’t. And when that day comes, even generations from now, the reckoning will be terrible.
Wow... Just wow. ---------------------- Israel has itself painted into a corner. To use another metaphor, they have a tiger by the tail. They can't let go because the tiger will eat them, and sooner or later they'll tire and slip... and the tiger will eat them.
I actually have more hope than that, but I don't know. Years ago a friend of mine said, there are a lot more Arabs than there were Indians, and they're not quite as friendly or quite as unsophisticated (I paraphrase a little)
