@evan not really. It’s normal at the end of wars for borders to move; it happens all the time and civilians end up displaced and/or living under different governance situations. But in general, most civilian preference is to exit the war zone as soon as possible. Some examples where that doesn’t happen very well, eg the partitioning of India and Pakistan, results in huge civilian population shifts and civilian deaths (two million deaths in that case). Is Hamas v Israel like that?
