the worst thing that could happen to the Palestinians is a war “on their behalf” that pits Israel and the US and US-aligned Arab states against Iran and its proxies and allies. in the context of an “existential war”, anything could be done and making too much of a fuss about it would just be aid and comfort to the enemy. queasy stuff would be cut from the newsreels, downranked and piled on in social media. the Smotriches would have their way, often in the worst way. war is hell, you know.
