Netanyahu is just the latest stain in a series of stains since 1948. The state, at its core, has been untenable since its (continuously illegal) founding. It needs to be restructured entirely, not have its image rehabilitated.
I don’t disagree but also you could say the same about all countries that were created as a result of colonialism. Lots of blood spilled over imaginary lines drawn on a map by outside forces hoping to exploit the people and resources of other regions.
You're right, all of the major world powers have not done nearly enough (some at all at all) to atone for their crimes of history. Israel is an exceptional case of impelialism/coloanialism, I think, because it was recent enough to be documented heavily. There are people in Palestine older than Israel. Imagine if cell phones, internet, and mass communication were around at the time of the trail of tears, and we'd have something close.
Unless the fascist wave takes over, then they'll just drop the pretense that genocide is bad. And unfortunately there's a good chance that'll happen in our lifetime. The sickness in Western politics is too deep and you can't play centrist politics with fascists because they don't give a shit about the "rules". The centrists are fascists best frenemies and will carry responsibility of this catastrophy too.
The US has 2 right wing parties, so a centrist is just right wing lol
Very true. But in Europe there are some that are less right of center that are almost as bad

Fuck Israel forever and ever.
I'm glad for the progress, but it's so incremental and the world's so absurd I'm fairly certain my situation will only qualify for forgiveness the day after I issue my final payment.
Too long
