And I thought I was a pessimist.
I don't think Haley/Ryan really falls into the same bucket as Mattrose here. I'll be kind and say what he's proposing is...creative.
It's far from clear that it's really necessary.
It is true ethnic cleansing half a million is less bad than two million dying. But I'd hope we aren't at the point that such ideas are the main set of feasible options to proceed with.

Palestinians in Gaza have only themselves to blame if Israel is forced to resort to such measures to protect its own citizens. If Israel abandons the peace process with the Palestinians of the West Bank, they need only point to Gaza if anyone asks why. 


War crimes are never justifiable,

No, but thanks to the Gazans' perpetual war footing, the status quo is unsustainable.  Something has to give.  I'd rather it be them. 

Quote
Secondly, Gaza is a dictatorship.

They elected Hamas to power in the first place.  After Israel withdrew. 
17 years ago! Hitler was also elected to power in the first place (yes yes the nazis only had a plurality not a majority I know I know) but nobody was calling Germany a democracy in the early 1940s.

I watched all the Jews and Muslims protest today in NYC over the Gaza/Israel border. If only all those people cared the same about our border!
why are you equating a border that's being crossed by terrorists crossing it to kill people and take hostages with a border that's being crossed by migrants crossing it to live a peaceful life away from the poverty and violence of their homeland

WTF is the IDF doing? Why fabricate evidence that you didn't do something when the non-fabricated evidence still strongly suggests you didn't do it‽‽‽


Gross.

Escalation of settler violence in the West Bank.

Yeah, they need to get a handle on that...

That's putting it lightly. This isn't a problem the government would like to get on top of but isn't, they literally do not care about it.

An absolutely demented response to a Bernie Sanders tweet about...the anniversary of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.


Oh, the responses to that tweet got so, so much worse than that. Lots of tankies who are super blatantly anti-semetic.

Sociopathic electorate. Bibi's done after this war if not sooner but expecting a new government to take a less belligerent stance towards Palestine is the zenith of naivete.
