Best not do anything then, eh? Keep arming Israel until they finish the genocide I guess? Stop the genocide now, and do what it takes to make it work. Israel would have to give up quite a lot of territory at a minimum, and may likely cease to exist as a state at all (see Rhodesia). Jews can coexist in the region, but not as settler colonialists.
You’re taking what I’m saying in bad faith. Then proposing a solution that just would never work. You’re calling for the cessation of a (ethno)state. One whose theology is a large contributing factor to hostilities they perpetrate and that are targeted at them.
Keeping Israel is not a great option, nor is it even the better of two evils. But the end of Israel would spell the end of the Israeli peoples by way of genocide as well. A solution where Israel is forced to cooperate, sit at the table and work things out with a two state solutiom is the clear option. Though that will never happen under Netanyahu.
You also can’t ignore the fact that every single one of their neighbours (nations, not people) would see every last Israeli dead or displaced. Regardless of how the israeli state came to be, they are now a legitimate ethnic group in the area who can easilly become the target of their own brand of ethnic cleansing.
I don’t know how else to take what you’re saying. It’s like that Simpsons meme “We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!”. This kind of handwringing about the ‘complexity’ of the issue only benefits Israel in it’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians. Yes, a lot of people that neighbor Israel hate it for very fucking good reasons, and it will take a lot of sacrifices from Israelis to build any sort of good will with their neighbors. This is unavoidable.

This is not black and white at all.

The sacrifice you’re talking about is trading one genocide for another.
You realise this, right?
No goddamit. You have this in your mind. I am not accepting your premise.
