For real what is it with them, where are they even trying to go with this?
Edit: I mean the Israel army. What is their end goal?
Isn't it obvious? Genocide. They want to be the next US, Australia, or Canada. Kill all the natives, or enough to make them not a threat anymore, and take all the land for themselves. Only difference we're supposed to know not to do that anymore.
You'll notice that the report doesn't estimate whether they died before or after Israel's incursion.
The extinction of the Gazan population and total annexation. That was the long plan anyhow.
do you seriously still have to ask?
Total victory!

I see where people might think that if you're just looking at the immediate context from the October 7th attacks, but I urge you to look into the conditions Palestinian people had been living under for decades, especially in Gaza. Rather than vengeance, when you look into the history, the October 7th attacks feel more like an excuse to go full throttle into carrying out what the Israeli government and hardcore Zionists already been trying to do for a while now.
The political establishment in Israel does not recognize Palestine, their goal has long been the eradication of the Palestinian nation.
I understand it's easy to blame Hamas and the Palestinian resistance for Israel's disproportionate and genocidal response, but the second Nakba was long coming.

Additionally worth remembering that the normalization process was nearing its conclusion by October, Israel was well on the path to buying off all of its neighbors and achieving total regional cooperation in the next Nakba.
