I think most of them mean that when the Arabs attacked Israel, Israel should have pushed the Arabs out of the area and taken it over permanently; same goes if attacked again; I doubt the folks saying that think Israel should annex it “arabs and all,” but are assuming that when the Israelis have to go in to stop the shelling periodically that the arabs flee ahead of them and could thus be “locked out.”
Their view is that the Israelis are “too nice” to go Andy Jackson on the Palestinians.
Forcefully removing entire populations out of an area that is conquered in a war, is a war-crime ... and Hitler did that very thing. They had the Nuremberg War Crimes trials for what Germany did.
Israel does not commit WAR CRIMES and neither do they intend to commit war crimes, despite the fact that Israel’s enemies FALSELY ACCUSE ISRAEL of war crimes.

During the last big engagement with Hamas, for an example of what I’m talking about, the IDF went way, way out of their way to prevent any hits or casualties on Paledtinian civilians while hitting Hamas terrorist operatives and their places. They even did what was called “roof knocks” on terrorist buildings because of possible women and children inside. A roof knock is where Israel hits the roof of a building with very light ordnance as a warning to people inside. That’s a few minute warning for civilians to escape the building. The next hit demolishes the building.
The IDF has also called civilians on the phone to warn them to get out. They have texted civilians. If they spot a civilian too close to avoid hitting them, the IDF will call off that strike. They have a mechanism in place where the final hit has to get clearance, first, or else a pilot can’t strike.
The IDF put up articles and pictures and videos of doing this and explaining very clearly that Israel DOES NOT COMMIT WAR CRIMES and that they will do absolutely everything they can to avoid it.
Israel FIGHTS AGAINST the PROPAGANDA PUT OUT by its enemies that Israel does commit war crimes. It had to fight against propaganda against Israel that Israel TRIES TO DRIVE OUT PALESTINIANS out of the land where they are living. Israel STRONGLY DENIES THIS!!
The bottom line here is that Israel does not commit war crimes and it will not purpose to commit war crimes. Israel states VERY CLEARLY that they WILL NOT DRIVE PALESTINIANS OFF the land they live on. That’s from Israel, speaking for itself!
