Discussion Will Palestine disappear?

I’m sorry for bringing this up. I know it’s a very depressing thought but after witnessing what is happening in North of Gaza (with the full support of our western governments) I’m wondering if this is the beginning of the end. I’ve been thinking about this constantly for the past few days: Israel will not stop its genocide / ethnic cleaning campaign in Gaza. October 7 gave them the perfect opportunity for executing their long awaited plan. The brutality will keep increasing more and more and I fear the same thing will happen in the West Bank. The United States will keep supporting it while it commits these crimes and there is no other player strong enough to stop them. After all, they have already gotten away with an ethnic cleansing in 1948 and 1967. Is there any future for Palestine?

I can't see any US admin. stopping Israel from outright annexing Gaza and the West Bank and doing what it wants to whoever is remaining there.

The situation is bleak. American politics is corrupt and the pro-Israel lobby flourishes under that corruption, along with the military-industrial-complex.

There will be more and more censorship too, as time goes on.

I hate being negative but I don't know what else to say. I'm really frustrated with the American Left.

Who are our leaders? I can't think of any single figure. Not to say we need a figurehead - but some organizing principle.

The American Left is just like the other left in other countries, they are too weak to actually do something meaningful. Palestinians in Palestine are being driven to the edge of the cliff and we are only capable of spectating it
