The state need not cease to exist. The same could have been said about post-WWII Germany yet it still exists today. I guess it would take a similar level of engagement, involvement and actions to resolve the current situation (hopefully minus the mistakes made along the way at that time).
Germany was dissolved post-WWII, and reformed later. It’s also not a great example IMO, denazification in Germany was half-hearted and quickly abandoned, leaving many nazis in positions of power.
I’m not sure what you mean - if the international community embargoed and censured Israel in accordance with international law and withheld arms and support, the Israeli regime would collapse, very quickly - at which point the international community could step in and ensure that Palestine doesn’t become a failed state, and handle a peaceful transition and ensure a thorough and comprehensive denazification program with proper trials for those who committed crimes, and a period of truth and reconciliation. I also believe that nations who have supported Israel’s genocide of Gaza - such as the UK, Italy, Germany, the United States, et al. should also pay significant compensation to the Palestinian people.
Those in power don’t want to give us any of this. They should be removed from power, by any means necessary.
Well, the same kind of WAS said about post-WWII Germany. It was joint-colonised for half a century and ceased to exist as a single independent state until 1989, and even then, German reunification was pretty controversial
Indeed, I shouldn’t have glossed over the time and difficulty of such processes. Whatever the solution, it’s unlikely the process will take any less than one generation or 30 years.

Agreed, but I doubt a better and faster solution is in reach for the current subject.

I must be too old and cynical to see it that way, but if that’s any excuse, I still respect people who stand for such aspirations.
