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?

Yes, I'm sure. Killing 2 million people from a purely logistical point of view takes far too much time and investment to do, would come at a high cost to Israelis (almost certainly needing boots on the ground which would most certainly be a clusterfrick surpassing 2006. and would, despite the memes here, set pretty much the entire world against them, and their near neighbourhood violently so, dashing all the work done in the past 50 years by an Israeli foreign policy establishment made up of people far more bloodthirsty, calculated and capable than Bibi and his modern Liberal Nationalists.

Alright but 500,000 not 2 million. That's like 1/4th.

Would still require and end up with all of the above. Assuming the Israelis go to the realistic max without a full-scale occupation (i.e. a sustained 100% round-the-clock air campaign) you aren't getting more than 10-20k dead Gazans out of this. Even with a multi-month occupation unless one alleges the Israelis are going to start killing people deliberately you'd be struggling to get over 50k and a proportional increase in Israeli casualties to match.

I disagree.
The Israeli's kill 10's of thousand from the air bombings.
Then the Israeli's kill 10's of thousands from the zero supplies getting into Palestine bit.
They are not going to start supplying Palestine again, and they are not going to let Egypt supply Palestine either.

Unless you think the Jews control the world it's not up to them. The day headlines of actual mass starvation hit the world news headlines is the day any food blockade ends. Water and electricity were quite frankly sporadic anyway and the Palestinians will cope without them.
They'll kill 10k-20k max from the air bombings at their most maximal. You can't subjugate a people from the air and you certainly can't kill hundreds of thousands of them too.

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.
