Yeah…they need a post-war Germany treatment, with less forgiveness. Additionally, any who have served in the IDF should be ineligible for election (I know that’s a lot), as well as any of those exempt from compulsive service warmonger assholes.
No need to reach all the way back to the 40s when there’s a much more similar example in the early 90: Apartheid South Africa.
Israel needle to be made a pariah state like Apartheid South Africa was and their leaders tried for their many crimes against humanity UNLIKE the leaders of Apartheid South Africa.
It’s the only way that lasting peace can be a possibility.
I wonder though, maybe South Africa was easily made a pariah state in the 90s because it was the end of the Cold War. SA’s utility in geopolitics to contain communism had run its course. Meanwhile, Israel is situated in still tense Middle East, and the main reason US still support Israel is because the latter provides excellent intelligence gathering which they provide then to the US and the West.

Nobody really knew it was the end of the Cold War though
Apartheid ended in 1994 with the election of Nelson Mandela, which is 4-5 years after the fall of communism.
The groundswell against it started much earlier, in the 80s
