> Recall that Palestine's goal is to eliminate all Jews.

No, that's not Palestine’s goal.

Its not even clearly the goal of the Palestinian Islamist extremist group Israel fostered specifically to have a less sympathetic enemy to deflect pressure for peace with Palestine to use as a pretext for perpetual war, though it may be, and whose fault is that?

  • Don‘t be a fool. Read books by Ilan Pappe, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, and you’ll realise it’s the total opposite. Israel has killed 6400 Palestinians prior to 7/10 in 15 years. On the other hand around 300 Israelis were killed. And then look at 75 years back. Google Irgun, Deir Yassin masscare, the right to return for Palestinians, google how 700,000 settlements were built on Palestinian land. And then rethink your post.

    • As I already said in another comment:

      > It's almost as if Israel has defensive technology (Iron Dome) to protect their citizens from Palestine's rocket attacks that target civilian areas (which is a war crime)

  • The Israeli government (and particularly the faction that, on top of lots of prior ills. incited, celebrated, and has run the government for most of the time since the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin) is not “the Jews”, though promoting that rhetorical equivalency has been their favorite way of deflecting foreign criticism for, well, decades.
