If someone says you suffer from cognitive dissonance, what does that even mean?

      The continued existence of Israel does not require an ongoing genocide, so those are not in opposition.

        Genocide has already happened and it is happening… Can’t undo that. Israeli government will need to be replaced and perps must be tried for war crimes before we can even discuss any rights “israel” might have

          Israel does not need to stop existing for the genocide to end or for the government officials to be tried for war crimes.

          It isn’t like Italy needed to stop existing after WWII…

            Italian government and German government was wiped out to the root.

            That’s what must happen with Israeli government.

                A multu ethnic state to be formed in its place should not be called Israel due to Israeli crimes.

                Palestine is more proepr to reflect the historical and multicultural context of the region.

                  A two (or more) state solution is also a possible outcome. For example, Gaza and the West Bank could become Palestine as a separate country from Israel. There would need to be a massive change in borders for that to even possibly work out, but an independent Palestine is more likely to lead to eventual stability than mashing everyone together.
