Genocide is the original Final Solution.
Wish it worked like that. In Israeli society from very young age, you’re taught you hate Palestinians, as if they’re brainwashed.

It’s easy to say that when you’re an outside party who doesn’t understand or care about the underlying issues. Not to minimize the issue with the metaphor, but have you ever fought with a sibling or someone else at school and your disinterested parent our authority figure told you to both to stop without addressing any of either of your underlying problems? How well did it work?
Pretending that “just stop it” deals with the realities of a complex history of real grievances and legitimate causes for anger and retribution on both sides is the most magical of magical thinking, and it doesn’t help that third party negotiators usually start their peace proceedings by learning NOTHING about the history of distrust and anger building up over decades, picking a side to ride or die with, and then declaring the issue fixed as soon as someone signs an agreement.
“Pretend Israel is the victim” Tell that to Nova survivors.
Israel gave Palestinians a good reason to hate them, but oct.7 isn’t a thing any country should have to live with, no matter what. It wasn’t an act for anything, it was purely an act of terror with no actual goals. They’re victims of terror. Palestinians are also victims of that same terror group.
Fuck Hamas.
