Can you elaborate on the second part of the quesion? “ What outcome you expect once it does it?”

I'd like you to elaborate on what you expect to happen if Israel continues its military campaign. 20k Palestinians have already been killed, and most people in Gaza have been rendered homeless. Everyone there is struggling to obtain the basic necessities of life, such as food, water and shelter. If Israel continues its campaign, how many more Palestinians will be killed, and how much more destruction will be done to Gaza? Will any building in Gaza be left standing? What do you think Israel plans to do to the millions of refugees it has created in Gaza over the last two months?

Looking further ahead, what do you think the consequences of continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories (East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza) will be? Can you justify keeping millions of people under continued military occupation, without any rights and under constant harassment? Can you justify the continuation of the dual legal regime in the occupied territories, under which Jewish settlers have full citizenship rights, while Palestinians have no rights (this is what many now characterize as Apartheid)?

  • > I'd like you to elaborate …

    Sure this could be a possibility once you finish describing consequences of the action of withdrawal you’ve suggested Israel to take. Suggested alternative is incomplete without you describing realistic outcome of it an thus leaves the current option Israel took as the only one possible which makes discussing it irrelevant wether you like it or not.

    Please responsibly describe outcome of the suggested alternative and then we can compare it with current situation.
