2. I don't believe it would. There'd just be more "tit for tat"

as there has been for decades. And you can't make one country safer by destroying another... and that's true whichever side we're talking about. genociding one people won't make the other safer. But the people there and elsewhere who see that are in the minority. The whole thing, from the massacre to now, is absolutely heartbreaking. But more death and destruction, especially with all the "plans" being developed between Netanyahu, trump, putin, and other regional actors will only make the situation worse. Develop the land by mining for whatever is under it? Move more of one people onto the land that others have lived on for generations? And even if you could create a country for the Palestinians like the world did for Israel, it's only a natural human reticence to not move away from your generational home. I see this whole thing as a conundrum with no answers, and a lot of players with agendas on all sides. And I just end up feeling horrible for the people caught up in it from all sides.
