No state solution: Would dissolution of Israel bring peace?

This suggestion is prompted by John Lennon's song "Imagine" about a world with no countries. To be precise, a world with no nation states. Americans ought to take the lead and initiate the dissolution of the USA in the same fashion as the ending of the Soviet Union.

People, of various different cultures, have been living naturally together among each other until their subjugation by divisive ideological power groups through the formation of governments. Power groupings are divisive.

Governments are corporations run by elites to control citizens for the achievement of nefarious agendas. Business enterprises are also corporations run by elites to gain profit at the expense of workers and minority shareholders.

Humanity are people. Governments are not, and they possess people the way the mind, when driven by rage, possess the body and commit it to kill other human bodies.

No. Solves nothing.

But I would favor more international involvement here - such as USA putting conditions on Israel before they sell them weapons. USA has leverage here.

The reality is that Israel is condemning itself here. They are out for revenge without regard to long term consequences. Hamas' rivals are now their partners. Israel could have taken out Hamas through means other than total destruction, and even some of Israel's enemies would have been happy about that.

I do think the international community should forcefully step in here. If you are going to get involved - GET INVOLVED, not just push support (money and weapons) under the table. DEMAND peace and FORCE a ceasefire if you need to.

@trollslayer “sell” Israel weapons ? Lol We SELL weapons to Saudi Arabia . We GIVE Israel weapons for free.
@trollslayer No more money or support for Israel until they start doing as they are told by the United States.

@trollslayer Israel is a very expensive “friend “. Lol
@trollslayer Israel attacked the Liberty because it was feeding intel to Egypt. Johnson called back two separate flight groups that went out to assist it during the attack. The last thing Johnson wanted was to use it as an excuse to cut ties with Israel, as this would have come out. My own theory is that Johnson wanted Israel to sink the Liberty so he could blame it on Egypt and use that as a pretext for the US to get involved in the Six-Day War and gain more influence in the region.

@LeopoldBloom huh. Consensus seems to be a mistaken identity.
@trollslayer That was the final conclusion. I'm basing my opinion partly on this article by a very pro-Israel writer.
