... if the Jews (Zionists) and Muslims can not figure out how to live peacefully side by side...
But they do - less than 75% citizens in Israel are Jews (religious or secular), more than 21% citizens are Arabs and/or Muslims (who are not subject to mandatory military service, but volunteers are allowed to serve - must be "apartheid"!) and life expectancy in Israel is in top 10 of the world.
Israel proposed creation of Palestinian state "side by side with Israel" at least 4 times... (BTW, the first and only nation that would make "Palestine free from occupation" in 2000 years) but all have been rejected, twice with Intifada, because Palestinians would not accept the existence of state of Israel - "from the River to the sea Palestine must be free" - the code for taking the land after "driving Jews into the sea." Why else have Palestinian refugee camps in Palestine? The Palestinian economy, which has suffered greatly since then.
When given the chance, the Palestinians also tried to take over Jordan and other lands/countries, Egypt dumped their "undesirables" in Gaza and Egypt's military on Sinai fought for years against Islamic militants there. Sunni Muslims and Shi'a Muslims have been fighting each other for 14 centuries and so on...

Over 1 million children will need to be murdered by IDF for Israel to succeed.
According to Hamas itself, more than 30,000 "Gazan civilian women and children" were killed by IDF in 5 months. Nazi Germany was murdering 14,000-15,000 Jews every day in 1942. So, if Israel has only accomplished 2 days of "genocide," at best. At this pace, they won't ever catch up to Nazis.
Genocide is a bloody endeavor.
Sure is. When asked, one IDF Lt. Colonel said "If we wanted to commit genocide, we would have done it long ago. We have the means." They do have the means. So they are either doing a piss-poor job of "genocide" or really are concentrating on Hamas... and Hezbollah, and Iran puppet-masters. Because it's not about "Palestinians" or "Gazans."

Real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid on Monday compared Israel to Nazi Germany and said that it was killing more children a day than Hitler did at Auschwitz.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, you beat him, you win, you win big time, you are the mightiest, you are Goliath," Hadid wrote on Instagram...
Apparently, the bankrupt father of the "celebrity models" Gigi and Bella doesn't do math and also reversed the outcome of the "legendary" battle between David, a Judean shepherd boy, and Goliath, Philistine warrior.
Makes sense coming from him: Mohamed Anwar Hadid was born into Palestinian Muslim family who fled Israel during the 1948 war, because his father "did not want the family to live under the Israeli occupation."
Hadid's financing source was the Saudi SAAR Foundation, which was a 50-50 partner in many of Hadid's ventures. In the late 1980s, he faced at least 30 lawsuits from creditors claiming he had not fulfilled various financial obligations. In 1992, a settlement was reached in a lawsuit by Riggs Bank against Hadid's partner in a construction project that involved a loan on which Hadid defaulted. Hadid closed his local office, lost his McLean home to foreclosure, and left the D.C. area.
In 2022 he has been hit with a wave of legal and financial troubles, including business bankruptcy and the demolition of his once-prized home. His half-built $100 million Bel Air mega-mansion was demolished, after a five-year fight with neighbors over safety concerns and lack of permits.

With Trump sinking his claws into the RNC and its funding functions, you can guarantee down ballot candidates are going to see their funding dry up or disappear.
And all that work to build majorities at state and local levels over most of my life will evaporate.
That's unlikely... or at least, very unlikely due to "RNC and its funding functions" and most of RNC haul going to Trump - it would be much more likely due to "Dobbs" decision.
First of all, most of local GOP apparatus, especially the ones who worked to build majorities at state and local levels, are funded and operate pretty independently from RNC... and as they and their donors realize that money and attention from RNC is not reaching them, they will stop relying on and donating to RNC and start funding and pay attention to state/local races.
Second, most big money donors can't stand Trump and just decide to maybe give some token donations to RNC / Trump campaign, so as not to be blacklisted in case he wins, i.e., "insurance" money, but concentrate on direct donations to Senate and House campaigns, and some local where they see either promise of gaining seat(s) or shoring up potential losses - again, "insurance" but against Biden win. IOW, they will take on some of the responsibilities of 'dysfunctional' Trump-owned RNC - it's not a lot of work to set up PACs where they see are needed, any more than they've done before - just a change in distribution of capital.
Wouldn't be surprised if RNC / Trump campaign is being "starved" of big donors' money while some Senate and House campaigns are "supersized" with PAC's dollars.
"Double haters," in particular, may decide to split their vote and donate to GOP down ballot, while voting for Biden.
