Israel doesn't want it to be a conquest.

The current fiction is that they are going to end up with some sort of two state solution, with the Palestinians getting their own country. If instead, this is really conquest, then we have the one-state solution option. But Palestinians have more babies than the Jewish Israelis do. So in a very short time period the Jews will be outnumbered by Arabs in "their own country."

I suspect the most likely outcome of this whole fiasco, is that Israel continues to build on whatever land they like the best, and if the Palestinians ever get their own country it will be on whatever land is left over. Perhaps all they will have left is Gaza, at the end of the day.

Basically, the Palestinians are fucked.
