‘As if we don’t exist’: Under bombs in Lebanon, Americans feel abandoned - eviltoast

Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

    I am not disagreeing with you but you need to start somewhere. Sending Netanyahu, his government and senior IDF officers to prison for war crimes would send shock waves and could be a trigger of wider changes.

    Ideally, I would like to see Northern Ireland power sharing solution in Palestine/Israel where each office is shared equally between Israelis and Palestinians. That however in my view can only follow after justice for the victims is achieved first and the perpetrators are in prison.

      Honestly, I don’t think justice for Palestinians is likely. As I see it, peace is inevitable but moderately far at the pace we’re going, but justice would require a perceived violation of Israel’s integrity that Palestinians will never have the bargaining power to demand. It’d be throwing a wrench into a peace process that will likely be reluctant and fragile already. Justice would be nice to have as an addon, but Palestinians will likely choose to take the fastest route towards human rights, which will be a two-state solution where Palestinians make some concessions but gain a state with real sovereignty. If something drastically changes justice might become possible, but in my thinking it’ll be Palestinians, not Israelis, making concessions to make peace possible a la the Oslo Accords.
