I can understand the traumatic circumstances that led to zionism seeming like the only option for Jewish survival, but implicit in that conclusion is that antisemitism cannot ever truly be defeated.
I think mass forced expulsion of European settlers from Palestine is obviously not a good solution, just as mass forced expulsion of European settlers from Turtle Island isn't a good solution. Ultimately though there are no peaceful solutions as long as you perpetuate the existence of a garrison state that believes its surrounded by enemies on all sides and will defend its racial purity with bombs and guns. Even if they cede some of the land they stole, even if they were somehow defeated militarily (by whatever or whomever), and were forced to give up their military like Japan after WWII, you've only planted the seed of genocidal racial resentment for it to flower anew.
