Israel should have respected the UN resolution partitioning Palestine for starters. Or they could stop usurping the West Bank, displacing Palestinians from their homes. They could recognize Palestine as a state and give them sovereignty over Gaza at least, including the natural gas fields off the coast valued at 1/2 $trillion. But Zionism does not allow for sharing the land.

Not really an answer, though. Israel doesn't have a time machine, and withdrawing from the West Bank doesn't address how the current fighting in Gaza should end. I could similarly say that Egypt and Jordan should have respected the UN resolution partitioning Palestine, for starters - or that they should have created and recognized Palestine as a state and given them sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza when they had control of those lands between 1948 and 1967. But just like your comments, that doesn't provide an answer on how the current, active fighting in Gaza should actually be wrapped up.

Should it end with Israel withdrawing troops and allowing Hamas to remain in power and hold the hostages? Should it end with Hamas surrendering their forces and leadership and facing justice for their actions on 10/7? Some combination of both?
