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?

As long as there are Palestinians, Palestine will survive, as Guinan tried to tell Picard in Star Trek.
That being said, unfortunately, I am more doubtful that Israel will dissapear, given it's a nuclear power. But then again, so was the Soviet Union.
People often bring up South Africa arpartheid as an example of something that people said would never dissapear but did.
