If we are actually trying to solve the root cause of the conflict, then the only answer is a dissolution of the Israeli state, replacing it with a single, all-encompasing secular state with minority protections, and equal citizenship rights for Palestinians and Israelis. This won’t stop the new state from being a dog of US Imperial interests, of course, but would cease the genocide.
Ah, gotcha. Well, for Zionists, acknowledging Palestinian Statehood ends their settler-colonial aspirations, so they won’t do it. They need to get the US fully involved in a broader Middle East war.
Not really, their material conditions are what drives the conflict. End the aparthied regime and with it the largest factors in division crumble, over time feelings will fade.
It certainly won’t be simple, easy, or immediate, but it is the only valid path to lasting peace. Everthing else keeps the core problems intact.
i think ‘rational’ is sticking to the two-state solution. ‘Liberal’ Zionism is fading away.

yea i know, I was talking from the Israeli Zionist perspective. Of course, a one state solution is the best solution.

Then their perspective is different, because Isn’treal oppose even the two state solution at every step.
Sadly, there are too much religious nutjobs for this to work
Why?
They believe they’re better and should have more rights than other people
Why do they have these views?
You’d probably need to ask them.

It’s in their religious texts
Are people born with a genetic predisposition towards accepting religious texts? Why are some populations more or less dogmatically religious?
Most are taught by their parents
Religion is barely a factor.
