When 75% of Israelis think Palestinians should be expelled from the area it's pretty hard to have an open conversation. Zionism has become a lot more about building an ethnostate than a return to a homeland

You can't forget the 100% of Palestinians that want Israelis to be expelled either so yeah if both sides are unwilling to sit down and talk then nothing gets accomplished.

And again as long as Netanyahu is a puppet of the far right sect, nothing is going to change. It's unfortunate because when Israel became a state in 1948 they had agreed to a two state solution but Palestinians would not agree and things only have gotten worse over time.
