😅 No John. Your life is not some kind of universal template for humanity. You are able to appreciate whatever improvements in knowledge and wisdom that have accrued in your life from whatever point you started from and whatever your personal capacities for growth are.

The assumption that you're wiser or more knowledgeable than someone else simply because you've been alive for more years is, ironically enough, very childish.

Obviously Israel won't accede to the demand to disappear. I haven't at any point, suggested that it would or should. I've suggested, and will continue to suggest, that it should comply with international law. And that if it doesn't, then there is little to no hope of security for Israel or, by extension, its neighbours. It was likely true in 1947 that Arabs simply wanted to wipe Israel off the map (though, to be clear, that's not the same thing as killing all the Jews there, Jews have been living there, mostly in peace, for centuries). But that isn't true today.

As I've already pointed out, there is a resolution before the UN that lays out the parameters of a two-state solution that basically only the U.S. and Israel oppose.

Israel isn't a plucky little David fighting against an Islamic Goliath. Certainly not in 2024. It has the fourth strongest military in the world, backed, apparently unconditionally, by the first strongest military in the world. It enjoys a robust peace with Egypt and Jordan. Won, partly, by returning the land it took from Egypt. It uses its military might to bully, intimidate and steal from the Palestinian people on a daily basis.

Israel is militarily powerful enough that thy might be able to maintain this status quo indefinitely (or at leats until international support disappears completely). But it's going to continue to cost them.
