No, what Israel is doing makes sense from a strictly selfish point of view.
The question of 'Why doesn't Israel integrate the Palestinians?' is a good one. The answer is numbers.
Israel was founded as a Jewish ethnostate. Those who have immigrated there have done so because they wanted to live in a Jewish ethnostate. So one of the core values of the country is that it is primarily a place for Jews.
If Israel absorbed the populations of Gaza and the West Bank into Israel, the Jewish population would become a minority in Israel if not immediately then within a generation.
I don't agree with the idea of ethnostates in general and I do believe establishing Israel as one was a mistake.
... But if you imagine the viewpoint of someone who does want a Jewish ethnostate like so many in Israel you can see why this solution is a non starter.
I've gone to playing Project 1999, an OG EverQuest emulator server.
It's only up to velious and it's as close to how the game was back then as you can get.
I don't recommend it to people who never played EQ back in the day - games have changed far too much for this ancient game to be fun for most people who don't have nostalgia for that era of gaming.
But sounds like you might, so I thought I'd suggest it to you.
My gas hot water heater does not have an electric start.
That's not how it works were I live.
There are no pumps involved. Fresh water pipes are under pressure from the city water distribution system. Sewage pipes drain via gravity.
There is never a reason to 'pump' sewage because the city sewage lines are below any sewage lines in my house.
I don't have a basement.
I have a crawlspace, the plumbing is all in the crawlspace.
Water doesn't need to be pumped up from the crawlspace because the lines are under pressure from the city main.
Now, if the city water distribution system was down I wouldn't have fresh water, but there are zero water pumps in my home.
As for sewage, the sewer lines are below all my plumbing, so gravity is enough to drain them.
That's... what?
In my home there aren't any pumps.
Water comes in, under pressure, from the city to my water outlets around the house.
Waste water goes down a drain and out into the cities sewage system completely by gravity.
alot of ppl on fedi are privacy-oriented and focused
I'm aware. I'm just reminding you that most outside the fediverse aren't.
Not everyone cares so much about that.
Someone knowing things about me in general is not a big deal.
Y'all joke, but we pretty much had this with the La Sirena in Picard.
Something like that, yes.
