When have I ever excused Hamas?
I`m aware of October 7th and I`m also aware that israel played a part in several of the deaths.
“In the real world, Israel has no desire/ability to clear Gaza and the West Bank”.
Look at a map of the West Bank from 50 years ago and tell me again that israel has no desire to clear the West Bank.
The israeli governmenent has already called for re-settlement of Gaza so cut the BS.
Gas field?

Introduction
Israel has launched an invasion (October 7, 2023) of the Gaza Strip.
As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight 10 years ago in a December, 30 2013 article:
“Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan”.
In the current context, Israel’s “All Goes to Plan” option consists in bypassing Palestine and “Wiping Gaza off the Map”, as well confiscating ALL Gaza’s maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars.
The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.
Update. Israel’s Secret Intelligence Memorandum
An official “secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s Ministry of Intelligence “is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula”, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of Israel-Egypt negotiations as well as consultations with the U.S.
The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry … assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip … It recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. … The document, whose authenticity was confirmed by the ministry, has been translated into English in full here on +972.

After these paged there are outlines of israels three options,
Option A – The population remaining in Gaza and bringing in the PA to rule.
Option B – The population remaining in Gaza with the emergance of a local Arab authority.
Option C – The Evacuation of the civilian population from Gaza to Sinai.
It was decided that option C will yield positive,long-term strategic outcomes for israel.
