My suggestion is quite simple: stop carpet bombing Gaza and making it unlivable for the survivors. Stop preventing international aid from getting to the victims. Stop building settlements in the occupied West Bank. Stop bombing Christian churches, all of the hospitals and schools claiming they all have munitions and tunnels under them, which in nearly all cases has been proven to be patently false. Abandon any plans for establishing Greater Israel in Gaza, the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and Western Syria.

As for building a nation, do you mean a self-determining nation with a recognized right to exist and defend itself with a military of its own (like Israel)? Don't forget, a Palestinian nation with a military that can defend itself is, and always has been, a non-starter for Israel because as Israel will tell you itself, its security is of primary importance. This means it must come at the cost of Palestinian security. Israel screams about Hamas "hiding military targets among civilians." If you can't have a military, you can't have military targets. This gives Israel carte blanche to bomb wherever they want and then after the fact label all of the dead as terrorists. I'm not saying there aren't terrorists among the victims but you reap what you sow. It is well established that Netanyahu and the Likud government funded Hamas because both Hamas and Likud are against a two state solution and Hama was viewed as a useful tool to create the situation for Israel to invade Gaza in order to displace the local population and expand Israel's borders to the sea.

Israel did not conspire with Hamas so they could invade Gaza. You are in la la land, nothing you say is remotely serious.

Does the phrase "mowing the lawn" mean anything to you? If it doesn't, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I may be in la la land but before you dismiss what I said, try looking at these photos and tell me this is neither cruel nor designed to permanently displace the current population: https://www.reuters.com/pictures/what-gaza-looks-like-today-after-15-months-war-2025-01-21/
