Islam: Please understand that if your foundational premise is that Israel has no right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people, then there is nothing more to discuss.

If you deny Israel’s right to exist then there’s nothing constructive to negotiate that moves us closer to peace by effectuating a fair and equitable resolution per a two-state solution, as advocated by the USA — which will require both sides to compromise.
Therefore, it sounds to me that your solution is for Israel to unilaterally abandon its homeland, for Israeli Jews (and Israeli Arabs?) to be expelled from the Middle East and relocated elsewhere?

Is that correct, because I highly doubt that will ever occur. And, historically, wars against Israel have not turned out well for those who attacked the Jewish State. That’s why Israel was in possession of the disputed territories in the West Bank and Gaza to begin with—as a result of being attacked by its Arab neighbors in yet another unprovoked war (1948, 1967, 1973, etc.).
Therefore, if I’m hearing you correctly, it seems to me like that is what you’re saying. That there are two options. One that Israel unilaterally abandon the Middle East and give all that land to the Palestinians. Or second, that the dispute can only be resolved through more war and bloodshed. Is that about right?
