> Israel has never actually wanted to end the lives of every Palestinian

Uh? So can you explain the genocide?

[samjones33]

Can you explain a genocide in Gaza or the West Bank both of which have growing Palestinian populations even during wartime?

(If you correct for the 100K+ who left Gaza before Egypt closed its border in 2024)

[LtWorf]

Inventing is explaining now? Ah…

[samjones33]

Inventing what, exactly?

The population growth rate in the West Bank and Gaza is higher than that of Europe.

I ain't the one having the babies... The residents of those places are.

[LtWorf]

And what is the life expectancy?

[samjones33]

What is the life expectancy of a body politic that chooses ongoing offensive war?

That is not a well thought out question. The answer is different in PA controlled areas, non PA areas, and Gaza.

And Gaza's life expectancy is different for members of Hamas vs. non members. And was one thing on October 6, 2023 and October 8, 2023.

Hamas has agency.

They could end the war a year ago or tomorrow.

Why don't they?

[LtWorf]

I don't think "getting invaded" counts as "choosing offensive war".
