As intended.
Israel's strategy with the West Bank is masterful. Wholly and completely evil, but masterful.
Either the Palestinians just accept their lot, in which case Israel incrementally takes their land through their "settler" proxies, or the Palestinians (entirely justifiably) try to fight back, in which case the IDF goes in and kills a bunch of them, and Israel takes their land anyway.
It's fucking despicable, but it works, and if one is devoid of morality, empathy or simple human decency, that's all that matters.
Modeled perfectly after the settler-colonial tactics of the US taking over native land.
I love that you name-drop the US when it was the English, Spanish, Dutch, and French that raped every continent and genocided entire cultures before the idea of the United States even existed.
So basically they had enough examples to learn from, but completely ignored it and do the same?
