Whether Hamas will let that happen is the question?

AJ:
“Israel has been bombing garbage trucks and sewage stations in Gaza.

Now, Palestinian children are catching viruses and diseases from waste piling up next to their tents.”

The Egyptian army has no dignity, no chivalry, and no Arabism

Did they not know that whoever opposes God and His Messenger will have the fire of Hell to abide therein? That is a great disgrace.

Now God has lightened your burden, and He knows that there is weakness among you. So if there are a hundred of you who are patient, they will overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they will defeat two thousand.

Liberation of Al-Aqsa
May the best prayers and peace be upon him

And if you fear betrayal from a people, then reject them all the same. Indeed, God does not like traitors.

My brain does not think like this. I know many are super super dedicated, but here in the west we like to have fun.
Wish these stupid wars would end, but with such persistent adversaries it won't.

One person said, "When the war ends, we will continue".
That's my personal experience too. People are super, laser focused and have been for decades.
It's their entire life 24/7.

And now a huge armed Israeli helicopter is flying over spewing out some type of shells!

The world is crazy!!!

But I hope it is a livable prosperous area for the Palestinians who have lived through this chaos and had their lives dominated by the Hamas.

I have empathy for the Palestine people, NOT HAMAS.

If Hamas remains, it may look like a poorer version of Afghanistan or Iran

If Netanyahu or his ilk remain it may look like the rest of Israel

If more moderate factions come to power it may look like Beruit, a damaged but improving city

If different extremists are in power, it will probably look about the same as it does now.

If Hamas remains a threat, and it probably will to some degree, no contractor is going to come in to build/repair basic infrastructure under constant threat of attack.

There might be a military occupation by Israel.

Doubt if Israel will do a full annex.

Doubt if there will be a Palestinian state.

So, we're back to where we started.

There will be alot of "later, rinse, repeat".
