With the right button, you’ve got MLK and Mother Theresa taking turns to punch it.
Well yeah, “the right button” could be anything. The button could have been “push this and Jewish Israeli people can live anywhere on earth safely and perpetually at peace with their neighbors.” It doesn’t even have to be anything about Israelis, religion, the region, it’s a fucking hypothetical.
Instead, the button is “kill millions of people that inconvenience me”. It doesn’t resolve anything for the country - they’re still at odds with a large number of neighboring countries. It doesn’t completely remove their inconvenience - settlers would still need to settle the stolen and destroyed land (even if the button just evaporated humans, Gaza is effectively uninhabitable).
They just want to talk about killing an entire people on their, apparently, large platform.

You’re reading too much into the “people love to push big red buttons, regardless of what they do” joke. :)
