2. Israel has maneuvered itself into a dead-end. All remaining options for Israel's future are horrible

Open-ended military occupation?
There already is the BDS-movement. If Israel keeps going, it will lose more and more foreign support and sympathy.

Two-State-solution?
Not feasible unless both sides are happy with the deal. And that won't happen. The Westbank-settlers are religious extremists. And the Palestinians want their land back as a matter of principle.

One-State-solution?
I wondered why Israel wouldn't just agree to a One-State-solution... Until I read that the Palestinian Authority dedicated a school to the planner of the 1972 terror-attack on the jewish athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich. There is no peaceful coexistence with such people.

I think, what Netanyahu is doing right now is making life as bad as possible for the Palestinians to force them to emigrate. That's why they keep building illegal settlements in the Westbank: encourage "self-deportation".
Like the great Humungus in Mad Max II said: "Go away. Just go away."
It's a desperate plan, no better than any other and bad in its own right.





In hindsight, that problem should have been solved at the very beginning, when Israel was founded. Not decades later. Now it's too late.
