It's perfectly possible that Israel wants the Palestinians to just disappear and it's for sure possible that they have the means to do so.


That doesn't mean that they can however since the international repercussions would be severe.  So instead they are going about it another way.


There is an increasing similarity in the Israeli/Palistinian situation to the South African Apartheid situation.


For example, in 2002: The Israeli government decided to support a private law proposal that allows the allocation of land for the development of “Jews only” urban communities. The proposal is designed to bypass earlier supreme court ruling on the subject.  Previously, the Israeli supreme court ruled that the state cannot discriminate between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens in matters of land allocation for housing. The court accepted the appeal of an Arab-Israeli couple that requested to be accepted into the urban community “Katzir” that was founded by the Jewish Agency.


In a response to the above decision, KM Haim Drukman of the Mafdal party, drafted a law proposition that will allow the Jewish Agency and the governmental “land administrate” to bypass the supreme court’s ruling. The proposition allows allocation of land for the development of urban communities restricted for Jews only.
