you're just talking past me to strawman tbh. you're saying that Israel must maintain full occupational control of Gaza to prevent a terrorist uprising and Hamas retaking control. That's a point i never argued against. What im saying is that you wont. you wont stay there forever. you'll crumble to a combination of international pressure of human rights concerns and internal pressure based on financial strain of what that operation costs and cost of lives because you'll face constant guerilla force attacks.
Germany was by comparison infinitely easier to subdue. The Nazi ideology drew from ideas of what it was to be German, it was nationalistic in it's aims. However previous to the rise of the Nazis people lived under imperial rule for centuries. It was in other words a new direction, Nazism was easy to snuff out because it wasn't a deeply held cultural belief. Also Germans didn't think they were at risk of being ethnically cleansed from their lands, and knew that if they reformed sovereignty would be returned to them. Even if they had to operate as a puppet for the west, they knew they would be able to reindustrialize with investment from the west to do so.
By comparison Gaza represents a 1000+ year old blood feud, the people are at risk (whether real or perceived, it makes no difference because THEY believe it) of being ethnically cleansed, you stated clearly they can never have sovereignty, you stated clearly the occupation will never end, Israel won't invest to reindustrialize the territory, and they're facing down an occupation that will never end. You're talking about changing what was already percieved by many as an open air prison into a literal open air prison by design. And you say a brutally designed concentration camp with no end ever, by design, will stand the test of time? like i said, i give it 10 years max. Once the next war against Iran, Turkey, or some other foe needs those resources and soldiers you're out. And hamas is back in.
You are projecting a Western, comfortable timeline onto an existential Middle Eastern reality. You are treating indefinite security control as if it’s a policy hobby Israel will get bored of or find too expensive. It’s not a choice; it’s the bare minimum required to keep our citizens alive.
Islam is roughly 1,400 years old, and the modern Arab-Israeli conflict began in the 20th century. Inventing a '1000-year blood feud' is just a dramatic way to throw your hands up and pretend radical Islamic terrorism is an unchangeable law of physics. It isn't.
Furthermore, your claim that Nazism wasn't a deeply held cultural belief that was 'easy to snuff out' completely sanitizes history. The Allies didn't just 'snuff it out' with a chat; they had to implement a massive, decade-long, aggressive denazification program, completely rewrite the German education system, outlaw their symbols, and physically occupy the country with hundreds of thousands of troops for generations. Western troops are still stationed in Germany today, 80 years later.
You claim that the moment a war breaks out with Iran or another regional foe, Israel will have to pull its troops out of Gaza and hand it back to Hamas.
This is backward military strategy. If Israel faces a massive conventional war on its northern or eastern borders, the last thing it can afford to do is abandon security control of Gaza and allow a massive, hostile rocket-launching pad to reopen right on its southern flank. That would guarantee a multi-front disaster. Maintaining the security envelope around Gaza is exactly how Israel prevents a secondary front from opening during a wider regional conflict.
Israel has no desire to manage the civic life, schools, or trash collection of Gaza. But Israel will absolutely control the perimeter, the airspace, the maritime border, and maintain total freedom of military access to neutralize threats. We already do this exact same thing in Area A of the West Bank. It isn't a 'concentration camp'; it is a standard, highly effective counter-terrorism matrix. It has kept the West Bank from turning into a massive, industrialized rocket base for over twenty years, despite endless predictions from commentators like you that it would 'crumble in 10 years.'
You keep predicting that Israel will break under international pressure or financial strain. But nations don't fold under 'financial strain' when the alternative is the slaughter of their families. We will maintain that security envelope for 10, 20, or 50 years if that's what it takes to survive, because we actually understand the alternative. You view this as a hypothetical debate; we view it as our home.
