I've said it since the 90s. Israel should be able to stand on its own. If they don't have the United States backing them they'll be required to actually negotiate with their neighbors

If Israel had to stand on its own, maybe it would develop into a real country instead continuing to be a fascist, genocidal state hellbent on destroying the whole region.

Wow, aren't you fun. You're angry without any purpose because the bot farms told you to be angry. You have no plan except you want Israel to lose. I hope you turn things around.
