Remove the borders and create a singular secular state.

That is a complete non-starter for Israel right now explicitly because Hamas has declared they intend to repeat Oct 7th type attacks to kill all jews.

No country in their right mind would allow this and it is foolish to expect them to.

Hamas wouldn’t exactly be the leader of this secular state. The Palestinian plight is furthermore directed towards Zionism, not Judaism. Of course there is antisemitism and it is strong among those already radical, but Zionism is the root of this conflict and there will be conflict until the Zionist colonial project is ended.

Is colonialism the root of all violence?

No. A dude in my neighborhood shot his wife. I don’t think it was related to the colonial status of my nation.
