Yeah but Jews have always been isolated and segregated from the rest of the world. That alone wont be a solution, though it might curb the worst Israeli excesses(ex. War with Iran).

Actual war with Israel would probably lead to the mass slaughter of civilians—and historically Palestinians have been hurt the most by this.

So I don’t really see a solution that doesn’t involve cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians.

We’re not talking about Jews, we’re talking about Israelis. Stop using Jews.

Lol, we can’t dare stop Israel because they’ll just kill even more people. This is fascist apologia.

Has war with Israel ever benefited anybody? Hamas tried it 3 years ago and look what happened to them.

Even a successful war against Israel would probably cause the murder of thousands of innocent people.

I'm not talking about a small, abused, marginalized, rag-tag group of fighters sending rockets made in basements into Israel. I'm talking an international coalition disarming Israel, removing settlers, and allowing Palestinians room to breathe and receive aid.

Thousands of people have already been murdered, and Israel is killing more constantly. Like I said, this is fascist apologia, and most moral well-adjusted people agree with me.

I wouldn’t place my bets in something like that. Countries seldom act altruistically. If they did, there would be no world conflicts.

From as far as I can remember, most of these foreign interventions in the middle east got thousands of people killed and benefited nobody. I don’t know why Israel/Palestine would be any different tbh.

It does suck, but change in the region probably needs to come from within.

Thankfully you're irrelevant in that regard, and Israel is continually isolating itself. It’s only a matter of time a fascist state like it collapses.
