    Elimination of Israel != elimination of the people living there.

    Quite the opposite; Israel, as a settler colonial project, necessitates the elimination of many of the people living there.

      We’re in a thread under an article celebrating how Israelis aren’t welcome in other countries.

      So that indicates eliminating Israel isn’t just about ethnically cleansing Jews from the area, since you don’t want there to be anywhere else for them to go. So what does “eliminating Israel” mean now?

        Who said eliminating Israel required ethnically cleansing Jews? There were jewish people living in Palestine before Israel, there will be Jewish people living in Palestine after Israel.

          What form of government do you want then? A Democracy? There are a significant number of Muslims in Israel and they can vote. Is your goal to annex the West Bank and Gaza into Israel? Netanyahu would agree with that.

          Maybe just change the name of the the country to Palestine instead of Israel? What if the majority of the people wanted the country to still be called Israel? You understand that the population of a single state would still be majority Jewish, right? What if the majority of the people in this new one state Palestine voted to change the name of the country to Israel?
