  1. A common (the most basic) technique for proving a mathematical proposition is to assume it doesn't hold and, reasoning from there, arrive at an absurdity. It's called "Reductio ad absurdum" (reduce to absurdity), and RAA proofs are the very first ones they teach aspiring math students. This applies to real life, but in sort of a backwards way: You see something absurd, so you try to backtrack to the false premise that brought it to that point. Everything Israel has done since its (re-)creation has been logical, or at least debatable. But when you arrive at an apartheid state and are running an open-air prison on your border, that's pretty absurd. But you can't point to anything, really, that isn't logical. They got to this place by taking rational steps just to survive. In my opinion, the creation of the state of Israel, by force, by foreign governments, is the faulty premise on which the history of the last 75 years is based. That doesn't mean I know the best way forward. Yes, a Jewish ethno/religious state is absurd. But it exists. Many people live there. Many people were born there. What's the best path forward? I don't know, but I think we might have been on the right track with the Abraham Accords. One thing I believe in my heart is that an endless supply of monetary and military support of the nation by the USA is a corrupter of both Israel and the USA. I think it's unhealthy for the USA to throw its weight around on behalf of Israel, and I think it's unhealthy for Israel to act as the USA's proxy in the region.
