    They certainly have, with the military and international support by the US and other Western Nations. That’s exactly why Israel needs to be pressured by international support to stop and agree to a permanent ceasefire that includes the liberation of Palestine.

    I don’t understand your position. Do you support conditional aid or an arms embargo? How should the US pressure Israel to stop the genocide?

      My personal preference is more radical than that… full military intervention, separate the Israelis from the Palestinians, arrest Bibi and the rest of Likud and set up full war crimes tribunals.

      But nobody has the political capital for that.

        Cool, I agree with that. Considering the settlements in the West Bank, I don’t think separation is the right way to go about it. I think integration with equal rights, including right of return, and a regime change with a Bi-National secular government is necessary. I agree with Ilan Pappe and Avi Schlaim on a One-State Solution.

        I also agree that practically no one in either the Democratic and definitely Republican Administrations care about a genuine peace. It’s all either Financial with the MIC and for some ideological. I think change is only possible with public pressure built with organization and solidarity, both in the US and also other Western Nations.

          Well, that’s long term… I’m thinking short term to stop the genocide.

          Once the prosecutions are over then you can think long term integration.
