MGB:_The first two points reflect ancient history, not current events, and scholars of the 67 war have honest disagreements as to who wanted that war the most. As for dehumanization, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians are not allowed first class citizenship in Israel, even though the latter are an essential labor force. More importantly, the IDF does practice torture against Palestinians in its custody and they blow up houses of those believed to be terrorists. Corruption of blood is always a dehumanizing act, in this case worthy of the the KKK. If Trump ordered the destruction of the homes of MS-13 gang members, would you consider that to be dehumanization?
Interesting to bring up textbooks. The Israeli books seem to advocate how to be more gentle tyrants. That is digging in for the long haul. No wonder Hamas is too. It would be good if the Arabs and Palestinians found their MLK, however the IDF would likely blow up his house.
Either make Israeli Arabs and Palestinians full citizens (with an Arab PM) with no walls and no military occupation or start serious boundary negoations, including in the north. People of good will won’ stand for the current aparthied state.
