I know Egypt won't because even Egypt does not like Palestinians at all.
Lebanon however has it's own terrorist organizations who might feel emboldened to attack Israel in some great Jihad or something if loads of Palestinians die.
I don't see Iran invading and joining in.
So will Lebanon invade Israel now?

Israel isn't an international near-pariah state that couldn't be punished more than it already had been in a state of civil war.

Israel is generally self sustaining as far as I am aware.
Israeli government values Israeli lives more than Israel's international reputation.
The West needs Israel as a counter to Islam in the middle east.
Western civilians were also killed in the attack on Israel.
The west has in the past century had a history of looking away from atrocities committed by allies or limiting themselves to making statements against those atrocities without any actual action being taken.
The only difference being that this century would be the first time the west does something like that on this scale, which most everyday people had begun to believe was something done in the past century and was behind us as human beings.

May be true but none of that would prevent the pressure that would come if any kind of sustained starvation campaign is launched and worse comes to worse Egypt will just be paid to ship in food.

Assuming Egypt cares about Palestine at all.
Also assuming anyone except the UN is going to take actual action.
The Middle East has shown for the past 10 years that they 100% consider Palestine a lost cause and the Palestinian people animals even to conservative Islamic culture.

They will if hundred of thousands of them are killed like you're alleging. Remember the original point of this discussion. The Palis are annoying at best for the Arab states but anything nearing their eradication would make internal pressure unbearable for all their governments.

True.
Then the deaths of Palestinians will go on till wherever the new edge is that Israel can get away with.
I expect a 100 dead Palestinians for every dead Israeli.

Even in the Second Intifada it was a 4 to 1 ratio in favour of Israel. I doubt this will surpass 8 to 1 at worst.

At 8 is to 1 you would currently end up with 900 x 8 = 7,200 dead Palestinians. That feels too low.

I thought it's over 1000 by now?
