I think the Israeli thing is striking a bone with westerners because yes, suicide is the only ethical choice a settler colonialist can make to rectify the wrongs of colonialism, and like the billion or so people who are benefiting from colonialism on this earth have to justify to themselves why they deserve to live when really they should die. It’s not like they can just move away because all they would really be doing is doing colonialism in another place, they can’t stay because they aren’t wanted there by the indigenous inhabitants, what are they to do besides die?
Good thing I don’t got to deal with such conundrums because I’m Black.
My answer as what to do with the population of Israel is listen to what Palestine wants, and if I had to speak for what Palestine wants, I would assume it would be some kind of Nuremberg trial like spectacle, some deportation here, some executions there, the kids get placed in Palestinian custody and converted to Islam, maybe hand out cyanide for Israelis so they have the option, it shouldn’t be nice but it would be just. And however Palestine handles the Israelis that will become the modus operandi for like the United States, South Africa, Australia, etc. Either way they brought the suffering on themselves.
