I mean, that would still leave Gaza with 3 times the population it had when the Isrealis took Gaza over from their previous hegemon, Egypt.

I would reduce overcrowding, but elimination it isn't.

And it's still better than what a lot of sympathy-inducing groups in the area want for Israel, so it's hard to feel all that righteous about one partial ethnic cleansing over another without being reduced to ahistorical tropes masking as historical truths.
