Depends on what's considered "rational." They've been successful as a genocidal settler-colonial ethnostate, but I think they are getting increasingly desparate as the international community notices their cracking mask.

    i think 'rational' is sticking to the two-state solution. 'Liberal' Zionism is fading away.

    If we are actually trying to solve the root cause of the conflict, then the only answer is a dissolution of the Israeli state, replacing it with a single, all-encompasing secular state with minority protections, and equal citizenship rights for Palestinians and Israelis. This won't stop the new state from being a dog of US Imperial interests, of course, but would cease the genocide.

    yea ik, I was talking from the Israeli Zionist perspective. Of course, a one state solution is the best solution.

    Ah, gotcha. Well, for Zionists, acknowledging Palestinian Statehood ends their settler-colonial aspirations, so they won't do it. They need to get the US fully involved in a broader Middle East war.

    Sadly, there are too much religious nutjobs for this to work

    They believe they're better and should have more rights than other people

    You'd probably need to ask them.

    Not really, their material conditions are what drives the conflict. End the aparthied regime and with it the largest factors in division crumble, over time feelings will fade.

    It certainly won't be simple, easy, or immediate, but it is the only valid path to lasting peace. Everthing else keeps the core problems intact.

    It's in their religious texts

    Are people born with a genetic predisposition towards accepting religious texts? Why are some populations more or less dogmatically religious?

    Most are taught by their parents

    Again, what causes a shift in dogmatism over time?

    Access to education and societal tolerance to critical thinking?

    Closer! Access to education helps, certainly. Social tolerance for critical thinking, however, stems from material conditions as well, however.

    That's a pretty naive take. There are plenty of rich religious fundamentalists, and plenty of poor atheists. And plenty of rich societies with very little tolerance for critical thinking
