I’m not going to claim a side in this, but I do have a question to pose. When you have two ideologies which are so diametrically opposed to each other that they cannot coexist in the same space at the same time, what is the alternative outcome? One must destroy the other for peace to exist - this is the nature of war. To think that there is some world where everyone comes away from this with a handshake and an agreement is just naive.

I’ll ask again: What is the alternative?

Wars generally don't end with genocide.

Conquered people don't cease to exist. Worst case they are subjugated, but these days they just assimilated/absorbed.

The alternative is perpetual war, or some sort of compromise.

If Hamas surrendered unconditionally tomorrow, what would Israel do?
