No where is safe.
By design.
Yep, this isn't a war, it's an extermination.
Do you truly believe that if the goal was extermination, IDF would be that ineffective ?
The IDF needs to not broaden the conflict to include it's neighbors, which have already shot across the border to Israel as soon as they fired back at Gaza.
The fear was that when Israel sent troops into Gaza, Jordan and Syria would respond with force.
The Israeli land invasion of Gaza was more limited and precise than expected so Israel's neighbors have held off but tensions are still very high.
If the IDF weren't so "ineffective", this conflict has real potential to boil over into WWIII.
So they're slowly whittling away at Gaza at the moment.
But the goal from Israel's perspective is, and always has been, a single state solution.
They're just using the "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" approach, as much as that phrase can be applied to active combat anyway.
So, you list all the reasons not to do extermination and thus suggest that they do not do it, right? You may claim that you can read their mind, but the actions and the statements are not how extermination is done.
If they want plausible deniability, absolutely. And who wouldn't want plausible deniability?
So, they achieve deniability by not doing it and instead fighting Hamas? Ok. So, if their actions contradicts extermination, their statements contradicts extermination, then how is that extermination?
The truce allowed them to gather up in southern Gaza which makes it easier for Israel to shoot the fish in a barrel. Seems like Israel may have only wanted the truce for public appearances and to make it easier to exterminate them
If Israel was looking to exterminate Palestinians whole cloth they could very easily already be doing so. They have unchecked military superiority and no nearby countries will accept Gazans.
You understand this is exactly how conspiracy theorists think, yeah?
Bro I think they are exterminating them whole cloth. They aren’t exactly using discretion when killing the gazans.
I'm sorry if this sounds offensive, but if you think this is what "exterminating whole cloth" is, then I am jealous of your naivete.
what about Egypt?
That's the plan, yeah. Make all of Gaza uninhabitable and forcibly displace the population out of the country.
That's also literally genocide.
