And, from the somewhat perverse viewpoints of some, Palestinians should be grateful for this work towards being “demographically neutralised”.
How people in Gaza feel - and how they are treated - is absolutely the point.

I don’t think Gazans owe any more thanks to Israel than the residents of northwestern Germany owed the RAF thanks for over-flying them on their way to Berlin. War is horrific and nobody should be thankful to be involved in it or grateful to their enemy if they narrowly escape it. That said, I’m not at all convinced *most* posters in this discussion have said anything warranting the caricature you’ve posited here.
