cease (?????) I really fear for the survivors....So much infrastructure has been destroyed, the countless wounded (physical, psychological) will have difficulty in getting the care that they need. This is extremely sad in the case of children who are amputees. Children's bodies grow so quickly that multiple prosthetics are required to keep up with the rapid growth....etc., etc. Furthermore, the lack of sanitation and infrastructure aggravates the growth of bacteria from the carnage....exponentially greater chances of disease onset.

Tragic.

They will continue to decimate the infrastructure and human lives unappologetically, then wait for the compliant media to drown out the tiny cries of public outrage until apathy and memory hole-itus fades it away. After a bit of time they will argue that by reason of fait accompli they might as well take over the land and build new settlements on it.

I doubt they care where the remaining Palestinians go to, or if they just die and rot in place, as long as they can be moved with a bulldozer later.

want to create terror, and he has by terror bombing and hoping the end result will
be that Palestinians reject and abandon Hamas.

On edit, Israel absolutely intends to keep the West Bank for their state.

6. Exactly. People get confused trying to follow the pea. They don't think about the hollow shells.
