Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Such a scenario would inevitably expand the open-air prison model of Gaza to the majority of Israeli-occupied lands. That would add a huge number of non-Jewish people to the Israeli state and obviously they can’t give all those people first class citizen status and a vote while keeping it a “Jewish” state. The mental gymnastics the West would need to pretend such a country is a “free democracy” would be astronomical.
I think you're wrong.
Looking at the tactics used in the past year, I believe the entity would rather sweep and ethnically cleanse all civilians out of areas they wish to control. They have no desire to compound their current demographic issues. Israel would demolish every building and murder or deport every person in their new lebensraum.
You’re right they’d want that, but it would also be biting off way more than they can chew. They’d turn the entirety of the region against them, Russia would probably get involved to stabilize things, and while America’s tolerance for Israeli shenanigans is huge, invading an ally like Saudi Arabia would break that.
