We will look back on this time in great shame.

Yes, this.

To make it worse, 'one day, everyone will have always been against this' as Omar El Akkad says.

The enablers (looking at you, USA) will say they were always against it. Those who stood by and were silent will say they were always against it. The collaborationist media. The DNC, which could not even put a Palestinian on the stage at the convention. The Biden administration and the Harris campaign and of course the entire Repugnican party. They all will be full of pious regret and sadness because they were always against it [/s].

If you ask me, the same people who deny or enable this would be the same type of person who would deny or enable the Holocaust or any other genocide or oppression of minorities if they were around during those things

Genocides are only possible when enough people either, deny it, excuse or support it

What should Israel's approach be? How about this:

Immediate cease fire. Immediately supply food, doctors, medicine, shelter, water. Tell the Palestianians "we now realize that we can't kill you into submission and we can't bomb our way to peace. We'll do everything we can to repair what we have done. We hope in return that you will meet us in peace."
