If you want a better future for Palestinians and Israelis, your number one question should be how to generate sustainable leverage for Palestinians.

Three kids were being forced to leave Australia and return to Israel, where they would have faced either conscription or prison. The tribunal granted them asylum on that basis. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
I think "to storm" is misleading as it implies surprise and omits the role of Israeli polic ein regulating/facilitating the visits. If you wanted to keep close to the Palestinian terminology, "invade" would be better, even if it's not literal www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
I doubt we can stop the complete destruction of Palestinians before we name that project as such. I do not see hope to end Israel's expansionism without coming to terms with its settler colonial nature. I do not see a possibility to stop the ongoing Nakba before recognising the 1948 Nakba.
Yair WallachThe political project of Israel's government is the elimination of Palestinians from Gaza (and eventually between the river and sea). Their actions and words all point in that direction, and that has remained unchanged. Beyond the question of how you call it, we need to recognise it for what it is.
