How big is Gaza anyway? Why can't Israel control it the way we do wrt to Kashmir. Looks like we are much better in controlling our internal states unlike Israel.
"Control" is a 2-way street. No matter how oppressive a government or a ruling establishment is, the people will still cooperate in some or the other manner if said government at least pretends to care about the people and if the other options are plain inferior.

Despite cutting off the internet in Kashmir, the GOI continues providing basic services and doesn't really restrict the movement of people. Kashmiri citizens are as free to avail benefits from schemes available to farmers and food rationing to people below the poverty line as any citizen from UP or Assam or Kerala. Meanwhile, Palestinians aren't allowed to use any highways but the ones built to connect towns with Gaza or West Bank but can't venture into Israel without a permit (whose criteria are quite vague) while the Israelis can use whichever they want. As a result, that greatly undermines the ability of Palestinians to seek education, healthcare or jobs in Israel proper which is where most of the development is.

The options Kashmiris have other than integrating within India are also very inferior. Average Pakis can barely afford electricity bills and atta while Palestinians can at least delude themselves into thinking they can be better off because other Arabs like Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris, and Omanis are filthy rich.

“Let me be clear. If it wasn’t for Iran, our resistance would not exist, we would not have these capabilities,” he said. “Our people (Arab governments) have abandoned us in the hard times, though Iran helped us with weapons, logistics, trainings, and technical support.”
...
“M48” mortar from Iran – was fired at Israel from Gaza on October 7, 2023.
YM-II, Iranian anti-tank mines and Iranian PG -7VR rockets.
It is an Iranian-made Ra’d-T, the Iranian version of the 9M14 Malyutka
“Misagh” MANPADS.
Iranian short-range rockets over the decades, including Fajr-3, Fajr-5 and Zelzal.
While Hamas has named this drone “Shahab”, it’s a copy of “Ababil-2”, an Iranian-made drone used by many Iranian proxies in the Middle East, albeit under a different name. The Houthis in Yemen, for example, call it Qasef-2K.
It is a small Iranian loitering munition whose original name in Iran is simply Sayyad or “ShahedX”;
Iranian anti-materiel Sayyad rifles
Paragliders...“Saberin”, the elite troops of the Iranian IRGC, have previously used them as short-range light aircraft.

At some point, the Jews will have to start to think if living on the “holy land” in the midst of fighting an eternal battle with the barbaric horde is worth it.

My guess is - Jews will not be able to maintain their numbers, and would be better served integrating themselves into western societies.
Jews will be able to maintain the numbers. The Israeli fertility rate is close to 3(which is similar/higher than that of Arab countries like Syria), of course this is heavily inflated by ultra-orthodox Haredim, but even the secular jews tend to have at least 2 kids.

They'll keep fighting, flattening and conquering the arab world, bit by bit, inch by inch. Compare Israel's map with what it looked like in 1948 and how it is now. Remember for the Joo, it's either Israel or death, i.e it is existential. Fear, sometimes can be the greatest motivator.

Kashmiris are Indian citizens with the same rights that other Indian citizens have. Many Palestinians would be happy to take Israeli citizenship if it was on offer, they could go live anywhere in Israel and would have voting rights. Israel government would be responsible for their welfare. Eventually demographics would destroy Israel.

No comparison.
