Genocide? The Land is ours? Data.

4. Agreed about looking forward; Israel is not going anywhere, but...

I think people are getting indoctrinated by terms like genocide and ethnic cleansing which are so thoroughly not appropriate for the situation. I think Palestinians claiming over and over that it is "their land" is so inaccurate. I do not think it is appreciated how arable the land has become under Jewish control.

In looking forward is an interesting concept, as I do not see any Arab country in this area with a stable government, so why would we expect anything different. We can hope and help, but they just need to stop taking that Israel is going somewhere. They would be happy to work together, but will slam very hard back whenever attacked, as we see over and over. It is about survival, not public opinion. And if the US stop sending money, I do not think that will change much.
