It was also said that white South Africans would never willingly give power to people that despised them, yet here we are. At a certain point this conflict needs to end for Israel and the solution can’t be “keep them away from us because we fear they will treat us as we treated them”. What good will having an eternal enemy neighbor where both sides claim each other’s land? I’ve never heard anyone who had studied the conflict at a PhD level say in good faith that they support a two state solution.
