The Israelis have been “creating facts on the ground” in the West Bank for thirty years.
These are now facts and Israel will have to reckon with what those facts mean.
It has always been a trilemma for them: Israel can be large, Jewish, democratic, pick two. They seem to have frozen the first variable, making the trilemma a dilemma: a Jewish state or a democratic one.

They never cared about being democratic.
Yes and no. It was originally the dilemma until they got around it by committing the Nakba.
I don’t think so. In the context of the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans, the Nakba is (sadly) not that unique.
It is unique in the perpetrators being colonizers.
I mean maybe it’s not, but I don’t see how that’s related to my point.
Considering Zionism is inherently a fascist principle I think they’re pretty clear on which one they favor.
