While there are indeed credible reports of human rights violations and infringements on international law by the Israeli government, it's inaccurate to say that Israel wants the 'complete eradication of all non-Israelis from the region'. The Israeli government has repeatedly stated their desire for a two-state solution. In recent decades, there have been multiple peace proposals and agreements, some of which were accepted by Israel and rejected by Palestinian leadership. For example, in 2000 and 2008, Israel made offers to establish a Palestinian state on most of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but these were rejected by Palestinian leaders. More recently, Israel offered 100,000 working visas to Gaza citizens to work in Israeli territory at 10x their normal salary.
Also, the use of the term 'apartheid' is also inaccurate in this context. While there are indeed severe restrictions in place in some areas due to security concerns, these are not universally applied across all of Israel and Palestinian territories. Israel is a democratic country with Arab members in its parliament and other high-ranking positions. It's also important to remember that Israel is home to a significant number of ethnic and religious groups, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims, among others.
Some context missing in the quote about bombing civilian homes, hospitals, media offices - there has been documented evidence by numerous international organizations that Hamas has chosen those vulnerable locations for 'human shielding' their active headquarters, which is considered a violation of the laws of armed conflict because it intentionally places civilians at risk and violates the principle of distinction, which requires parties to an armed conflict to distinguish between civilian populations and combatants, and between civilian objects and military objectives.

Why do you act as though there is any equality in these proposals you mentioned? The Israeli state has been colonizing Palestinian territory for over a century now, claiming Palestinian-occupied territory as parts of Israel and then forcing the Palestinians under brutal racial apartheid, to the point where the Gaza Strip is considered the world's largest open-air prison. They cannot colonize the land and then expect to make compromises afterwards on the inhumane conditions that they created and maintain to this day. The Israeli treatment of Palestinians, past and present, both within the… Read more
