> I think I know what you are trying to insinuate here. And that insinuation is quite racist

how did you bring racism into this? do you do that with any conversations you find yourself in the middle of?

> What happens to the ethno-demographic prospects of the state doing the crime should not be a consideration.

and you wonder why Israel wants Hamas eradicated.

I might be wrong about this but the question “Can you tell me what happens when Palestinians have unfettered access to Israel?“ smells like you have some assumptions about Palestinians that makes it dangerous for non-Palestinians to live around. If you actually believe that, that would be a very racist assumption.

Your second statement is mixing hypothetical reality with an actual reality. Only Israel is pursuing ethno-demographic policies. You may believe Hamas wants to pursue similar but reverse policies, and you may even be right about that, but the fact is they aren’t. Only Israel is. If Hamas gains full control over an independent state of Palestine, and sets up an apartheid system where Palestinians maintains a systemic oppression against non-Palestinian Jews, then we can dismiss their prospects. But until then, we should only dismiss the prospects of those that actually are committing the crimes, which is the state of Israel.

    I think after Oct 7, we can safely agree that this experiment has already happened and we know the answer.
