Israel is literally waging a war to expand borders, so yeah, maybe they want to be left alone in the sense that they won't accept any state other than Israel existing in the end.
It’s … wild because this is part of the roots of the Jewish people being chased from their lands.
In a world where folks accepted other peoples gods but revered their own … the monotheistic Abrahamic religions fucked all that up.
Have you ever heard of this social experiment that was done a long time ago.?
A teacher in 1968, following days after MLK was murdered, decided to teach kids about racism. It ended up becoming a famous experiment about how people who are discriminated against will often do the same back to others. And that we are all equally capable of being taught to discriminate even when we ourselves have faced discrimination and know what it's like.
Here is the premise. (All kids were white, I believe)
The teacher told the students that blue eye color students were smarter than brown eye color students because the pigment in brown eyes was related to lower intelligence.
Here is the rest copied from Wikipedia
"Initially, there was resistance among the students in the minority group to the idea that blue-eyed children were better than brown-eyed children. To counter this, Elliott led the children to believe the false premise that melanin was linked to their higher intelligence and learning ability. Shortly thereafter, the initial resistance fell away. Those who were deemed "superior" became arrogant, bossy, and otherwise unpleasant to their "inferior" classmates. Their grades on simple tests improved, and they completed mathematical and reading tasks that had seemed outside their ability before. The "inferior" classmates also transformed – into timid and subservient children who scored more poorly on tests, and even during recess isolated themselves, including those who had previously been dominant in the class. These children's academic performance suffered, even with tasks that had been simple before.[10]
The next Monday, Elliott reversed the exercise, making the brown-eyed children superior. While the brown-eyed children did taunt the blue-eyed children in ways similar to what had occurred the previous day, Elliott reports it was much less intense. To reflect on the experience, she asked the children to write down what they had learned.[6]"

Here is an in-depth article by PBS on it. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/introduction-2/
Here is a documentary about it , also made by PBS. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1mcCLm_LwpE
It's a fascinating experiment into human behavior and self reflection. And how superiority complex changes performance and personality.
I was surprised to learn Jane Elliott is still alive. MLK's assassination really wasn't as long ago as they want you to believe.
The problem with believing in gods is that you think you are right. That makes other people wrong. And so it begins...
That is one way to see it, but it’s also possible to have a more pluralistic view. Like in India which has a long tradition of many religions co-existing with respect.
They need Lebensraum.
What do Israelis want?
It's to be able to commit genocide in peace.
Americans too apparently.
Nah, it's overwhelmingly unpopular in America but the Israeli polls are overwhelmingly popular
The US does also like genocide though
it goes well with our holiday roast beast
They want to be left alone to commit heinous acts of murder and torture. Is it so hard to understand? /s
And you just start beating the shit out of your smallest neighbour while occupying their house
First you play really loud music. Then when the neighbor comes over to complain you say they were yelling aggressively (to be heard over the loud music) and you had to defend yourself.
And you call them an anti-musicite.
It's the only way to prove a point to my bigger neighbours. Plus it proves just how much I want to be left alone!!!
Or bombing them and then killing the ambulance drivers that come to help them and bulldoze then into a ditch
Why do these screenshots always show the comments in the wrong order? Is twitter really set up like that?
"When I wanna be left alone, I just kill my neighbors. 🤷♂️"
What they want is no resistance to their colonial expansion.
Israel is a failed experiment in statehood. It's about motherfucking time for every decision maker in virtually every government in the world to acknowledge that - and correct course.
Look up UN votes on various issues regarding Israel. We're already there, and have been for decades. It's just that the US holds the UN hostage with their veto power.
stay there
after they locked the doors, killed you dog and wife, tortured your brother and starved you children while withholding them medical aid
Withdraw to your 1967 borders. Then we talk.
I agree with Eylon. No more subsidies, no more outside anything. Thirsty? There's no water? Talk to your imaginary god. Hungry? Food doesn't grow? Same thing.
And to have every other country fund it.
... And murder half of their children as well.
Sometimes as Palestine would say, I just want my grandma’s house that the government stole from her and kicked her naked into the street. I miss the good memories.
Why won't somebody think about the poor land-thieving child-murdering Israelis...
When your persecution complex is so robust you reanimate the Old Testament as a "defense" strategy despite being a "secular" nation.
