There is no logic end game. Gaza a prison is now a dust and ruin prison. What on earth can the end game be aside from complete Annihilation or removal of all in gaza. It looks like ethnic cleansing to me

Get rid of Hamas is the goal.

By wiping out an entire group of people?

kill/chase out the entire population of Gaza is the goal, and getting rid of Hamas is one of the incidental results.

Israel funded the growth of Hamas specifically as a justification for attacking and ethnically cleansing the area now.

Because obviously you can’t just slaughter a population and annex their land for “no reason,” you have to treat them like shit for generations first, then secretly support the formation of a violent resistance group so that when they finally strike back, you’ll have the “right to defend yourself.” Then you’re free to displace or kill all the people on the land you want to build condos and Starbucks on.

Yeah, they want Hamas gone, but their main targets are and always have been the civilians. They don’t want Hamas to disappear until the last Palestinian leaves the area.

Source? Back when the funded the precursor to hamas it was a under a charity group focused on social work projects and the PLO showed no interest in negotiating. After hamas was formed and the Oslo accords started they didn't support hamas.

Carpet bombings are a poor way to get hostages back…

Imagine Uvalde, but instead of bravely waiting outside while the terrorist held and killed hostages, the “most moral police force in the world” just carpet bombed the school?

“We will not negotiate with terrorists in our fight to save the hostages! You can’t kill them if we kill them first!”

Israel is not trying to rescue hostages, or they would not use tactics that maximize collateral damage. Israel is not even trying to wipe out Hamas, as they have spent a lot of money building them up to this point so they can be a scapegoat. Their target has always been the murder or displacement of enough people in Palestine that they can annex and resettle the area, building condos and Starbucks on the rubble. Because god apparently told them that it’s their land and they can “reclaim” it by any means necessary.
