No, I mean in the OP: “Oops, did they say the quiet part out loud?”
Who is the they if not Israelis?

Who’s the “they” here?
It’s a refugee camp in the loosest sense of the word. It’s 80 years old, has permanent structures and is more like a crowded city than something like the Syrian refugee camps.
To drive home the concept that maybe, just maybe, we should wait until we have verification, this is the camp that Gaza’s Interior Minister (Hamas) claimed was “completely destroyed” about 3 weeks ago:
IDF also has footage of their captured soldier going in alive. Her murdered body was found dumped near the hospital. Hamas brought her to civilian infrastructure, then murdered her, and claimed she was killed in an air strike. Kinda driving the point home that maybe “Israel killed X amount in an air strike” should be taken with a fistful of salt.
It’s like saying MTG represents the average American.
Using human shields is a war crime, holding civilians hostage is a war crime, perfidy is a war crime, using recognized medical organization’s infrastructure is a war crime (transporting military assets in an ambulance from Red Cross/Red Crescent is a major no no). On Israel’s side, targeting journalists is a war crime, and targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime, civilian mass punishment is a war crime.
Yes… that’s literally what “war crimes” are, and Hamas and Israel are speed running to see who can commit more:

… You don’t understand this conflict at all, do you? Bibi’s a bastard, but if eligible-to-vote Arab citizens of Israel showed up to vote against the shitheels anywhere near as well as the shitbag American Christian settler contingent, his party could not have formed a government and, since he is currently charged with corruption, his competitor parties wouldn’t have fallen in line to give him a joint government.
Yes… If you’re an Israeli citizen, you’re an Israeli citizen. There’s a sizable proportion of Arabs in Israel, particularly East Jerusalem who chose to hold Jordan citizenship rather than Israeli, and cannot vote.
Shit, if the Palestinian Arabs who could vote, did, Bibi would likely not be in power and things may have turned out differently.

Isn’t just about 20% of the Israeli population Arab? Again: Europe didn’t ethnically cleanse the Middle East. That’d be the belligerents of ‘48 who went from sizable Jewish populations to populations you can count on a hand. You know, a good ol’ fashioned ethnic cleansing.
Here’s a fun “tickle your brain” moment. How many Israelis are descendants of ethnically cleansed Jews from other middle eastern states? The other half of the catastrophe that Hamas supporters really don’t want to talk about.
Israel’s not using Fuel-Air bombs here. There’s no point. They’re just using a shedload of mk 80 series with guidance systems. Probably the Mk 81s that the US brought back into service to try and reduce collateral damage during the Iraq war.
I’m saying a massive amount of the Jews in Israel were also ethnically cleansed by largely the same people who ran the war in ‘48. It’s hard to take you seriously that you are concerned about ethnic cleansing when you’re overlooking that a huge amount of the Jews were displaced into Israel by the exact same event as the catastrophe. Saying they have no right to be there and they need to leave is just as much calling for a genocide as if Israel told all of Gaza “this isn’t your land and if you stay here, you die”
Also, note that they’re not telling all settlers to go. Only Jewish settlers.
C. S. Jarvis, Governor of the Sinai from 1923-1936, noted: ‘This illegal immigration was not only going on from the Sinai, but also from Trans-Jordan and Syria and it is very difficult to make a case out for the misery of the Arabs if at the same time their compatriots from adjoining States could not be kept from going in to share that misery.’
Saying “I’ll only accept Jews who lived here in the period where Jewish immigration and landownership were banned” (Ottoman banned Jewish immigration and landownership in 1881) is not at all “We intend to live peacefully with the Jews who were expelled from all the neighboring Arab countries and have nowhere to go”
That’s exactly the point.
The PLO popularized it… At a time where their explicit goals were “expel the Jews and create an Arab ethnostate in its place.”
Maybe using the political rallying cry of the pre-Oslo Accord PLO shouldn’t be where you start your “No, we really just want peace and a country where Jews and Arabs can live in harmony considering the stance of the people who made the statement was “Jews have no home in Palestine”
I’m amazed that you chose the three worst things you could have picked from the USSR. They literally stole their nuclear tech from the capitalists, did not believe in genetics, period, and created famines from their poor understanding of environmental science and lack of flexibility (Gigantic centralized serf farms are bad if the local weather isn’t ideal! , and their computers were trinary garbage that barely functioned.
