I agree with all that, with the caveat that Israel has been a nation for 75 years and has ten million people, almost all of whom were not yet born or were just children in 1948. Israel can't and shouldn't be "wiped off the map." That fight was over a long time ago. Israeli citizens of all ethnicities are the same as everyone else. They have their good points and their prejudices and they can elect (or have forced on them) bad people who try to persuade them that bigotry and discrimination and racism are justified. Trump does it, Bibi does it, Thatcher did it, Putin does it. Ordinary citizens should never be the target and should never be subjected to collective punishment. Having said all that, I really don't know where we start.
