Decapitation strike against the criminal Israeli regime would be great. At a minimum, enforcing a no fly zone over the entire area, along with missile defense for Palestine and Lebanon.
Would we then move the Israeli citizens to another part of the world?
This still seems like a tangled mess.
I agree she should do everything we can to end not just the genocide, but also the power struggle—preferably with minimal harm to anyone—but I see no indication any of it will be easy or simple. I think the answer is really hundreds of answers.
Where’s your concern for Palestinians and Lebanese? Where did we move all the Afrikaners after apartheid? Some left and the rest had to learn how to live as equals with the people around them-- something Israelis have never had to do.
Related questions: Would Israelis be given the chance to integrate or, would the newly shifted power dynamic just lead to Israel’s neighbours perpetrating the same horrors against Israel?
Basically, have these differences not gone on long enough that almost any of their neighbours would be willing to return the favour?
In what ways would this paralell the end of apartheid?
What does peace look like once Israel ends hostilities and the US cuts off supplies?
There cannot be peace with the current makeup of groups in the middle east. Some groups have to either, deradicalize (yeah right), leave or be killed by the others. There’s no solution that will make you happy, or me or anyone. Many people will have to die before that mess is sorted out. Who those people are is up to the tax money from the USA I feel. Personally, I feel like colonization is bad and colonizers are bad people. So if Israel has made all of their neighbours unable to tolerate their existence by being colonizing pieces of shit for generations, that’s just unfortunate for them. I suppose they will have to leave or deradicalize.
Israel would be forced to integrate into the region if they simply had a limited supply of weaponry. Because they have the full and clearly unconditional backing of the US, they don’t have to do normal diplomacy (see all the ceasefire deals they’ve torpedoed); they know they can just shoot missiles and kill indiscriminately until the other side capitulates, and so does everyone else, because they’re proving it every day now.
It would be messy, but they’d find a way to do it because they would finally have skin in the game. Or they’d lose one of the wars they’re starting and that would be too bad in the “fuck around and find out” sense.
These questions were absolutely asked in south Africa. I encourage you to read about it. There are other similar historical examples too. Rwanda and Bosnia come to mind. Change is often painful, but it is a mistake to maintain this kind of status quo because you fear it.
Both examples you provided resulted in some of the most horrific genocides in modern memory perpetrated by the dominant ethnic groups against ethnic minorities seen as outsiders or invaders. These issues are still not reconciled to this day and still amount to daily acts of violence or terror.
Are you suggesting in your answer that the acceptable end to Israeli colonialism is the tables being turned on them? Because that’s what would happen.
Israel does need to de-escalate, disarm, de-colonise while recognising the Palestinian state. Allowing any of their neighbours to oversee this would just see another genocide perpetrated.
Either way the status quo becomes genocide. So, what’s our goal here?
The status quo is genocide now, just as it was in apartheid south Africa and civil-war era Rwanda and Bosnia. Israel and Palestine are at the stage of genocide now. The next stage will be truth and reconciliation, and likely an international peacekeeping force. If you insist on a perfect, clean solution where 100% of the violence stops once and forever, then you will never have it and you will only continue the current genocide. Decades of genocide have consequences and the sooner they are faced the better for everyone.
“We” wouldn’t “impose” anything. That isn’t any outside nation’s job. Read the article, nowhere is outside force mentioned. The US can defend Israel without enabling attacks on their neighbours.
Israel is a failed colonialist experiment that needs to end.
Is there a simple, easy way to do that?

They wouldn’t be forced to leave, they would be forced to integrate with society.
How would that work?
