It's hard to understand Israel's endgame. Be pissed off at everyone, murder their neighbors indiscriminately, disrespect and spit on the face of your allies...

It worked for England, and France, and the US... Colonialism and Imperialism are historical winners... unfortunately

France and England had to give up most of their colonial lands and now they are having to integrate immigrants from former colonies. United States is still at the height of their power. But whether they'll be justice for the genocide of the indigenous people remains to be seen.

If that's any indication Israel will have to stop backing their settlements in the west Bank and palestinians would also start immigrating in mass into Israel proper. Which is kinda how I actually see this ending, like apartheid South Africa where the white colonialist had to live with the indigenous Africans with tons of resentment left over but a lot less violence. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened in places like the west Bank where settlers don't have the IDF to back them up so they are forced to make peace but the local palestinians won't forget what they did to them.
