Agree on some points but not all.

Yes the very wealthy Arab world has let the Palestinians suffer for their own political reasons. The Israelis have callously annexed land, built settlements on it, and militarily occupied the West Bank for almost 60 years. They have NOT militarily occupied Gaza for almost 20 years. They have invaded Gaza a few times during open warfare. The reverse can now be said. A broader war could occur but it won't be WW3. Russia is too militarily weak and involved in Ukraine. China doesn't give shit. Iran is the concern but that would not be a world war.

I think saying the hard right jewish religious sects want palestinians "exterminated" if they protest is a bit far. Let's say they'd be happy to evict them all to Jordan. Who can blame the palestinians for their desperation? I can. The palestinians have had at least a half dozen real opportunities in the last 80 years to create a palestinian state. They have rejected it for violence every single time. Weak leadership. Lack of vision. Violent hatred. Whatever you want to call it. There is a very spot on saying: Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. That statehood ship has sailed for another generation at least. No way in hell Israel will (or should) allow ANOTHER state like Gaza to exist on the West Bank.
