You can't just claim something else can happen without providing a convincing explanation of how that will occur. One that doesn't rely on fairytales about people who already loathed the other side waking up and deciding they want peace. Just like I wouldn't expect the Israelis to respond to 10/7 with anything short of a large-scale invasion of Gaza, regardless of their likelihood of success.
The facts that you?ve studied the subject makes it all the more remarkable that you are doing little more that echoing an extremely partisan narrative when the present war is concerned. Half-assed woke nonsense about war crimes and repetitive clap trap about how nothing will come of if, the main reason for that being that Arabs don’t learn nor evolve.

You’d look a lot smarter if you’d stop acting as if every time the conflict flares up, it’s just the same old same old again. Because this time, more likely than not, it’s different.
