lol, you have never talked to any Palestinians?

When apartheid ended in south Africa, did it end with all the white people being executed?

they want the right of return. they want equal rights. and definitely, some genociders belong in jail.

I don’t know that the South African model was ever possible in Israel, the government is far more entrenched, it is more like trying to usurp the American or Australian government than any other colonialist government.

In SA they also had a 9:1 ratio advantage, the rest of the world’s governments were pressuring with trade embargoes and it was still incredibly difficult to get any movement.

But as an example, truth and reconciliation would be an amazing thing to see in this context. Maybe one day.

as soon as US support ends (dems need to pay attention if they ever want to win an election again), All international support for Israel will end. and it'll become a pariah state, full of embargoes and sanctions. it'll collapse by itself.

I think “if US support ever ends”, but yes. We live in hope!
