Those are the key questions. I think we’re looking at a project spanning generations which has to be as much “bottom-up” as “top down”. The Palestinian population had to own such changes and have a vision that is not fundamentally anti-Zionist but much more life affirming. In the event that Iran is neutered, then fundamental change may be possible.
If the Iranian regime falls, Gaza will have a chance to shift from a path of terrorism to one of peace — but only if they finally choose to take that path. Hamas must first be disarmed and removed from power. Only then can the process of rebuilding society truly begin.
Why should Gaza have a future? Those “Palestinians” are living on Israeli land.
Attempts at local control (repeatedly, because Israel and America are soft-hearted and soft-headed) always end in tears. And blood, especially ours. It is (past) time for them to leave.
Where will they go? Not our problem! What if no country admits them and they end up freezing in Antarctica? Not our problem. What if we get accused of genocide? Right, totally unlike what’s happening now.
The war will only end when Gazans take responsibility for their own welfare. Until then, the international aid/funding complex means that Gazans are paid to make permanent war against Israel.
It's much harder to be belligerent when you have to pay for and supply your own food, water, electricity, sewage systems, and collect taxes.

Exactly!
They won’t for the same reason they haven’t. They are on Israeli land. They should leave. Where they go is not our problem.
