Yes. Israel is currently way more powerful. But what is the relevance here?
If there was a single state, the people would all have the same access to weapons.
And there would still be a lot of people who would want to exterminate anyone who follows a different flavor of Abrahamic religion. And yes, those currently existing on both sides.
The relevance is that Israel isn't defending itself. Hamas was fostered by them and they let the attack happen. They created a reason to commit genocide. The innocents inside Israel that are against the war aren't being defending through the act of genocide. The solutions proposed would not put any of them in danger.
And Palestine fostered the reason for the reason for the attack. That conflict has been going on for a century. Nobody alive started it.
I would love it, if a secular one state solution would work. But I fear that that would at the very least need a giant blue helmet mission for a few decades.
Unless that secular state is created through gradual reform of the Israeli government. Their military apparatus should be able to keep the peace. But only if their goals are aligned.
