    That “wing” has been running the show for 80 years.

    There will never be peace until Israel abandons its apartheid policies.

      That is patently false. There was a major turning point in 1977 when Likud gained power for the first time. There are major Israeli parties that oppose any future expansion of Israel or further settlements, Labour being the most prominent. It was under Labour PM Ehud Barak that Israel voluntarily withdrew from southern Lebanon after 22 years of occupation. Ariel Sharon left Likud after withdrawing from Gaza in 2005. His successor, Ehud Olmert, intended to unilaterally withdraw from the West Bank until the 2006 Lebanon War dramatically re-aligned the domestic politics, with the Israeli right pushing a narrative that each withdrawal Israel did just led to more attacks.

      Israeli politics is much much messier than what you think.

        There are voices in opposition, but it hasn’t turned into justice for Palestinians.
