If a people are being genocided and you still have difficulties seeing the black and white clearly, that's on you. It couldn't be more black or white than this, the side doing the genocide is always black until it stops doing the genocide. I'm a simple man, doing genocide=black in any context, always.

How would you suggest Israel combat Hamas then, since you’re such a simple man and this is such a simple conflict?

So in order of realistic:

They could have respected their part of the agrement that disarmed the PLO. Instead, we have area C and colonies.
They could disolve the ethnostate and create a true secular one that is not the nation-state of the jews, but a true federation.
I don't care. Quit bombing civilians and respect the fucking geneva conventions.

That's a problem for the Israeli state to solve, not me. There have been many ways in my view, but that's not relevant to the question of commiting genocide. I don't need to be an expert in order to categorically oppose genocide. There's not a thing you can say that the Palestinians have done, real or imaginary, which would make a genocide defendable to a human being in touch with their humanity.

There's no reason at all to discuss anything other than stopping the genocide in the current context. You don't discuss possible long term solutions while a genocide is ongoing. After Israel stops commiting genocide, there'll perhaps be room to discuss what to do going forward, but while it's ongoing, there's only one thing worth discussing: How to stop Israel commiting genocide.

Also starting by not parking native in reserves would be a good start.
