Unfortunately the only right way to go about this is to completely decimate Hamas and force an unconditional surrender then occupy and reprogram Palestinians in the hope that eventually 60 years from now they are able to govern themselves as allies.

Actually the only hope of truly lasting peace is the dissolution of Israel and the creation of a new state that doesn’t limit citizenship and suffrage along ethnic or religious lines.

This. Israel never should have been there in the first place. It’s stolen land, ruled by a tyrannical apartheid regime.

I doubt that would work. If history is to be of any indication then Palestinians also have no desire to co-exist with Israel. If the sides were reversed Palestine would be doing the exact same things as Israel is doing. Arabs want Israel gone and it’s been clear since the state of Israel was officially founded in 1948.

Founded is an odd way of writing colonized without any input or consideration by the people who were already living there.

I doubt Israel will be up for ‘dissolition’. The more achievable goal would be an end to violence and land grabs along an internationally recognized border.

Perhaps that’s true but that simply means Israel is not interested in truly lasting peace. Reconciliation is the only possible long term solution, just the same as in every other colonial project. After decades of settlement the Palestinian state would resemble Swiss cheese. It’s not feasible. A two state solution is only setting things up for further conflict down the road. As difficult as it would be, an egalitarian secular state is the only path forward.

Noone wins a war of occupation. You either learn to live with conquered peoples and give them access tibequal rights (Roman empire) or completely erase the local population (Europeans in North America).
