3. I wish people would find the correct target

IMO it has to be noted that Israel's current leaders, as repulsive as they might be, inherited an unworkable and frankly ridiculous situation. The underlying problem imo is the architecture of the country itself. The only thing dumber than theocracy is UN-mandated theocracy, and the direct (if not only) solution that maintains Israel as a nation would be to modify the UN Charter, to open up some or most of the 96% of the land in Israel now forbidden to foreign ownership. Or in other words convert the country from a formal theocracy into a true republic. Palestinians get their homes back, Israel gets stability, peace and above all else legitimacy among Arab nations, or at least far more than they have now. Win-win.
