Since Ariel Sharon, conservative ideologies have been deeply ingrained in Israeli politics, and Netanyahu's resignation may not bring about a fundamental shift in this longstanding trend.

The political landscape has been characterized by continuity, and despite changes in leadership, the core ideologies often persist. The implications for the lives of Israelis and Palestinians might not undergo a substantial transformation.

Obligatory: Fuck Hamas and Netanyahu

That's true, but honestly anybody is better than Netanyahu. This guy is the reason the conflict didn't end in the 90s.

Hamas did nothing wrong. It exists in response to Israeli aggression. I promise you this, even if Hamas goes away, Palestinians and other Arabs will continue to resist. Israel has created far more enemies with its ongoing genocide in Gaza, they will forever be pariahs and will forever be at war with us.

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.” — David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.
