" What kind of country does Israel WANT to be? "
The answer depends on which kind of Israeli politically you are asking .
Our current PM believes in the "status quo."
Which is neither here nor there .

For many years now the preferred government policy toward the Palestinians has been to maintain the status quo, without the headache of negotiations and breakthroughs; maintaining what already exists, and that’s all. Military occupation forever. Benjamin Netanyahu turned this idea into his flagship policy. Naftali Bennett, it now turns out, intends to leverage this approach even more forcefully. In an interview with the New York Times this week, he described how his government would maintain a “balance”: on one hand not annexing, on the other hand not allowing a Palestinian state to be established.
A freeze that benefits everyone? Certainly not. The situation on the ground serves only the opponents of a two-state solution. Proof of this could be found in Bennett’s own words, when he said that along with the supposed freeze, Israel will continue to expand settlements in the name of “natural growth.” Palestinians allegedly will also be allowed to build in “existing towns and villages,” meaning Israel will continue its illegal expansion, since that is what already exists, and the Palestinians will remain in their own domain.
If your asking me .....I want an Israel where my grandchildren dont have to join the army like I and their great grandparents and my husband had to .
The religious right wing control our destiny , there is nothing they are not capable of .
If your asking me ....the only solution is for the world to treat us as they did with South Africa during apartheid.
