I don’t agree. Palestinians will use force to reclaim their land and rightfully so. Again, Israel could choose peace to stop this from happening. They are the occupying force and the only humane option is to end occupation. I think demographics in the west will support this line of thinking more and more so I don’t see Israel having much of a choice in the long run.

The last U.S election disagrees with your demographics prediction. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong about the future, no one knows and we're all horrible at predicting things, but this maximalist view of yours (And many people in the extreme left) is pushing the Palestinians to a zero sum game where they keep losing.

I think the last election agrees with me! Harris lost because of her support for Israel and sure enough Trump got a ceasefire done immediately. I’m no Trump fan and think he’s anything but pro-Palestinian but he was the lesser evil here.

Getting a ceasefire was a pro Palestinian move by Trump? Most of the Israeli public is in favor of the ceasefire and hostage deal - and quite a large majority.

Kamala Harris and the whole democratic party lost because of a lot of things. I wouldn't put the Palestinians in the top 5.

Yes a ceasefire is pro-Palestinian and they have been celebrating it. There’s another hostage exchange happening where they get back 200 people in exchange for 4 today.

It's also pro Israeli and is wanted by the majority of Israelis.
