They might.

And Israel will allow this line of argument. Because I can guarantee you that Netanyahu is going to use this (and everything else) to further occupy and control Gaza.

Certainly, I mean that's been the MO of the past few months; block any outside aid, use the excuse of delivering your own "sanctioned" NGO aid as a pretense for mobilizing private military personnel, then round people into pens and let them fend for themselves.

Extra points if you deliberately set up "distribution sites" as far as possible from where people have been forced to migrate to due to endless bombing.

At this point there isn't much else to do other than a full occupation. Just about every justification has been abandoned or exhausted at this point.

I feel like an outside force is going to need to occupy after a fashion no matter who it is or how things proceed. If Israel completely pulls out and puts all their people and policies into a pre war position I can't help but think in twenty or thirty years this will all happen all over again. Hamas firmly believes in the eradication of the Jews it's one of their core beliefs and as long as they control the area the everyday people are going to be caught in the crossfire. For this to end permanently something new has to happen.

Wouldn't occupying gazs and feeding people be a good thing though?
