This is a very nice concept, but there are two problems with your idea:
1. Gazans have been brainwashed from infancy to hate Israel and everything they are exposed to throughout their life reinforces this - their parents, their Imams, their schools, their TV shows, etc. They have to be willing to accept and trust Israel to allow this to happen.
2. Israel already tried this - when they withdrew from Gaza in 2005, they left fully built communities with beautiful homes, farms, industry, etc. The Gazans could have lived a life of luxury compared to their current state, with nice homes, and jobs with a good income. Instead they gleefully burnt it all to the ground. This was before Hamas came to power.
Well, a lot of people don't realize (or don't care) that the casualty numbers that come out of Gaza are issued by the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas. Hamas has a long history of greatly inflating casualties.
Plus they don't mention how many of the dead are actually combatants. Even if we accepted their likely inflated number of 30,000 dead, Isreal has confirmed that over 10,000 of these are armed militants. and many of the rest still worked for hamas in other capacties. For example, hamas only uses children to transport ammo and communications to their troops since they think Israeli is less likely to fire on them. Truly disgraceful.
I'm always shocked that some people support terrorists, murderers and rapists over their victims.
I don't think you understand the definition of genocide. Hama's attack against Israel on October 7th is genocide - and their own charter calls for the genocide of Jews. Israel's response to uproot these terrorists and to defend themselves is not genocide.
Disgraceful comments. These are still people. And yes, Trump hs become quote vocal in his quoting of Hitler. Ivana Trump said he is a huge fan of Hitler's and kept his speeches by his bed and would study them before going to sleep. I find that creepy!
Since you seem to be confused by what anti-semitism is, let me give you a simple rule of thumb. When you call any Jew a Nazi, it is antisemitism. And whether you realize it or not, most of you want is filled with antisemitic tropes.
You really think there won't be a ground invasion in Gaza? I know it's been over 2 weeks since the attack, but I read the delay was due to US pressure and/or gives hostage negotians attacked.
I don't see how Israel can possibly not invade. They need to try to rescue the hostages AND wipeout Hamas. Neither goal can be accomplished without a ground invasion. Even if Bibi wanted to avoid an invasion, his citizentry wouldn't allow it.
Right on point. It's absurd that the world keeps saying Israel occupies Gaza when they left nearly 20 years ago. Free Palestine? Gaza has been its own state since 2005. The only ones they need to be freed from is Hamas.

My bad, I commented before finishing your article. I see that we are in agreement that a ground invasion is inevitable.
