Something needs to change. There is a reason this has been going on for so many years. A new strategy that is grounded in reality would be a start. Nobody is going back to their homes during the Nakba.
I don't disagree with the this, but the State of Israel's settlements have expanded so much that two states are kind of impossible. And there's no way these groups are gonna have multi-national state.

In fact, there is probably going to be a lot of turf war violence as they brutally re-exert control.
Nothing is keeping Hamas in power more than fear. When people are scared, they elect strongmen to protect them from existential threats. This is Bush in 2004 or Trump in 2016 and probably in 2024. There's nothing uniquely Islamic about this dynamic.
