#2So evidently a two state solution is off the table, and once all the Palestinians are driven away, a one state solution will become acceptable to Israel.
Is there some other way this could play out?

As if the US is expected to be good here? The region is important if you want to control the world.

Weren’t all two state proposals in the past rejected by one Palestinian leader or the other?

Only one Palestinian authority was recognized in the Oslo Accords as representing Palestine, and they've supported it since 1982.
Which is why Israel funded Hamas to weaken the PLO.

Geopolitics doesnt change because someone was mean. Its all about power and influence. Isreal is key for enacting and protecting American interests in the region. Whats happening in Palestine hurts in the short term but I think average people will forget about it in a year and the US foreign policy will be business as usual. Its brutal to think about but I cant see it going any other way, most of the people upset by whats going on had never heard about gaza before oct 7th.

Israel never funded Hamas, you might be thinking of them facilitating Qatari aid funds.
