5. I love Israel and want him to go -

but I also worry about who will replace him. And I feel the same about the other side. Netanyahu can kill Palestinians all day long, but for every Hamas member he destroys there are 3 more coming up.

First both sides need to be separated (I believe Palestine also needs their own state), build a wall between them if we have to. And then start working on diplomacy. These are 2 groups so entrenched in hate that I see no other way, and it will take time.

eta - I feel like I should add that I don't want to paint a broad brush of all Israelis and Palestinians being hateful. There certainly seem to be many zealots on either side that have shown they want to actually wipe out the other, but I'm also confident that there are many everyday folks who just want to live their lives in peace - on both sides.

It's Saturday night and people across Israel are calling for Netanyahu to go. Enough. Enough. LetMyPeopleVote May 2024 #1
Enough already with the warmonger. Kick him to the curb and try... brush May 2024 #4
I have a novel idea. . .stop attacking Israel. This wouldn't have happened if Hamas didn't murder 1200 civilians AZLD4Candidate May 2024 #32
Get it straight, buddy. I didn't attack Israel. I called on Israel to get rid of warmonger Netanyahu... brush May 2024 #34
