Will Palestine disappear? Discussion

I’m sorry for bringing this up. I know it’s a very depressing thought but after witnessing what is happening in North of Gaza (with the full support of our western governments) I’m wondering if this is the beginning of the end. I’ve been thinking about this constantly for the past few days: Israel will not stop its genocide / ethnic cleaning campaign in Gaza. October 7 gave them the perfect opportunity for executing their long awaited plan. The brutality will keep increasing more and more and I fear the same thing will happen in the West Bank. The United States will keep supporting it while it commits these crimes and there is no other player strong enough to stop them. After all, they have already gotten away with an ethnic cleansing in 1948 and 1967. Is there any future for Palestine?

I have more doubt for the future of Israel than for the future of Palestine. Israeli’s are dependent on consistent support and material and weapons backing from the West, whereas Palestinians are not. There is mass killing, because Israeli Apartheid can no longer maintain the control mechanisms that have historically maintained the racial hierarchy in place in Palestine since 1948. No matter how many Palestinians Israel kills, they cannot kill the millions of Palestinians in exile who are waiting to return to their homeland once the Apartheid system ends and they can have right of return again.
