The thousands killed and all of the destruction caused will ensure that Gazans will never accept peace. The raids, displacement and murders that were committed in the West bank while the world was distracted by Gaza, will ensure that the Palestinians of the West bank won't be very happy with their government that wants peace with the oppressors.

There you go, peace is harder to achieve. Victory.

But they will use up a whole load of arsenal and buy a lot more. Money for arms dealers.

A lot more dead civilians and uninhabited land for settling.

Then in two months Netanyahu is still in power. They did more genocide, then extend it another two months. Rinse and repeat until everyone living in Gaza is dead and then it's time to genocide the west bank

Ya but this time they are gonna hunt down every Hamas out there. Mossad flat out even got called out to strike Hamas leadership in Qatar even.

There isn't many times when either side wants the war. They usually want something else and the war is the result of one side doing something and the other stopping them.

Everyone wants peace, every war is fought for peace. It's just the type of peace that causes war.

Israel doesn't want war, they want all of the people in Gaza gone. Gaza doesn't want war, they want Israelis gone. Both have a preference for peace, just not a peace both sides will agree to.

Of course some defense companies and those that seek violence want war. But nations and most people don't. Wars never great.

Seriously?

What nation goes: "Hey neighbor, you wanna kill a bunch of each other's soldiers and use a bunch of resources and pollute the earth? Maybe we can also kill some innocent babies while bombing hospitals for funsies?"

Wars are usually fought because one nation (or group) wants what the other has. If a side could get exactly what they want, there wouldn't be a war over it.

Wars are about taking: land, people, resources, revenge.

There's nothing consensual about it
