I think this is some better polling:

Certainly, not every Israeli agrees with settlements. But the largest demographic in this poll does. They view the settlements as favorable. The more conservative, the greater the favorability.

And then there's the resettlement of Gaza...it's basically a dead-heat (51% oppose, 49% favor or are unsure).

Between those two, it looks like making it all Israel is a coin-toss of public opinion. And since 10/7, I'm sure attitudes have hardened. Mine probably would have if I was an Israeli citizen/resident. This is reflected in the PM they elected a few years ago.

As I've said many, many times, there are no good outcomes.

We agree on this. I doubt the reservation solution would work (as it did here, though not really to the benefit of the native Americans...but they aren't blowing up pizza parlors). It will likely be the British solution to the Tasmanian problem (hint: I don't think there are any native Tasmanians left). But I disagree that there will be growing pains of any significance. When you have funding (Iran), it makes it a lot easier to replace. Al Qaeda was mostly Osama bin Laden. When the SEALs killed him, they truly cut off the head. The various underlings migrated to other extremist groups. With Hamas, you have Iran doing the funding. Kill the leader, and Iran will see to it another takes his place. As long as the idea is there, and the funding is there, you can't kill it.
