C_J Israel could easily wipe Palestine off the map of that was their objective. They haven’t because it isn’t.
If they ‘wipe out’ anything, they run the risk of losing support / cash and starting a proper war with other neighbours, so instead it’s death by a thousand cuts, they just grind them down, take a bit of land every day, until one day they’re no longer there. No headlines, just low level confrontation, just drip drip drip.
