my inner pessimist expects isreal and the palestinians to play out the same way that the united states and it's native americans did; or canada and its first nations did; or australia and its aboriginals did, or new zealand and its maori did, so normalized in the west where even the notion of reparations is openly laughed at by its anglosphere-aligned leaders.

"Israel" as a settler project is decaying rapidly, thankfully. The TRUST plan will not succeed, and I'm not just saying that. The resistance will never disarm themselves. Nearly 100,000 settlers left Israel in 2024 alone, the economy is faltering, and they are losing support internationally.

the best case scenario is another south africa; which isn't entirely bad because i would expect the isrealis to denuclearize its samson option before handing the keys over to the native population as it finalizes its white flight like south africa did w their nuclear weaponry.

i don't expect to see it in my lifetime and, by then, i suspect that there will be as few palestinians as there are isrealis today.

I expect things to come to a head much sooner than that, unless you're particularly close to death. "Israel" isn't doing very well, which is exactly why the resistance has fought its asymetric war in the manner it has.
