History has plenty of examples of that kind of warfare, especially in that particularly blood-soaked corner of the world. The Nazis did some of that as well, in eastern Europe. What they did to certain other groups, including the Jews, was a level beyond that. Israeli right wing actors want that land. They'd like it cleared, and they don't seem to care how it ends up being cleared, but it is the land they want. They are indifferent to the people on it. The Nazis wanted the people dead, they were relatively indifferent to whether or not there was land involved.
