re :I also hereby invoke Godwin's Avenger. Look it up.

LOL very funny, that is when someone says this is not a million miles from what the Nazies did or are trying to achieve.

Notice I said that the IDF will not carry out the activities you mentioned because they are as unlike the Nazies as you can get.

You said "in Poland the Jews were being cleared out block by block " etc so yes you compared it to the Nazis.

And it is well more than a million miles away. Nazis didn't make peace offers for 40 years, withdraw from territories, encourage free elections, collect and transfer taxes, drop leaflets before military operations, etc.

When the US bombed whatever it wanted to to win its wars, it did not make the US Nazis either. Etc.

If the people in the territories and in southern Lebanon were voting for peaceful regimes, condemning their fighters and terrorists, forming militias to stamp them out, calling for them to cease their attacks on Israel and release captives, etc, one might regard them as innocent bystanders caught in a crossfire between muslim nutjobs and an Israel legitimately defending itself.

But they aren't and they don't. They fully support rockets being fired at Israel civilians, want war, and would just also like to wage it from a position of impunity. Which is hopelessly unrealistic and not morally worth the slightest consideration. If they wage war on civilians - and they do - they deserve whatever they get, back.

Nor would there be any necessity to deliberate measures beyond ordinary military offensive on the one hand, and no tolerance for hostile supporters of terrorists on the other. It is not like they can eat the rice and lentils stockpiled in their own houses for more than a few days. When you pass through the area, they come out or they starve. When they come out, you order them out of Israel, as not citizens of Israel and in no way loyal to it.

As for where they go, they can go wherever they like, but they can't stay here. It has been offered and tried too many times, and the condition was simple - police up your murdering nutjobs. They declined to do so, voted for more murdering nutjobs, and applauded more murder. So they lose, no more chances. Their lands are forfeit. Their lives are spared if they leave because they are no great threat on the other side of barbed wire and minefields and MG posts and registered artillery. And only safety is sought, not revenge.

None of which have anything to do with Nazi anything.

It is simple a matter of treating people according to their actual present behavior. Instead of entirely pretend fantasies about how nice they might be in principle, if only they weren't the evil bastards they actually are.
