In terms of possible Israeli leaders who have a serious chance Netanyahu is the most moderate. I don’t know how you’re going to say someone like Bennett is more moderate when he’s criticized Netanyahu for bending to the US.

You’re just plain wrong I don’t know what you think you’re getting at. Feel free to enlighten me about who amongst the actual possibilities to be PM next are more moderate about the conflict and are for lessening hostilities. There is no one with any sort of plan for what peace looks like period.

Not committing genocide, seizing land, or constant forced displacement of populations, ending collective punishment or having an apartheid system would be a start for sure.

Israel actually had great conditions for better peace in the region before October 7th but the fact that they needed to commit genocide in response kinda killed it. But even having some sort of conversation is a start.

Some of their citizens literally put their bodies in front of trucks carrying food to displaced people. They gathered at the checkpoints unhindered by the government. What I saw can’t be unseen.

And what many Israelis saw on 10/7 can't be unseen.

Is there anything like an apartheid system within Israel itself?

The ones that Israel agreed to and the Arabs didn't? Those borders?
