Depends on what’s considered “rational.” They’ve been successful as a genocidal settler-colonial ethnostate, but I think they are getting increasingly desparate as the international community notices their cracking mask.
If we are actually trying to solve the root cause of the conflict, then the only answer is a dissolution of the Israeli state, replacing it with a single, all-encompasing secular state with minority protections, and equal citizenship rights for Palestinians and Israelis. This won’t stop the new state from being a dog of US Imperial interests, of course, but would cease the genocide.
Ah, gotcha. Well, for Zionists, acknowledging Palestinian Statehood ends their settler-colonial aspirations, so they won’t do it. They need to get the US fully involved in a broader Middle East war.
They haven’t been behaving rationally for some time.

i think ‘rational’ is sticking to the two-state solution. ‘Liberal’ Zionism is fading away.

Sadly, there are too much religious nutjobs for this to work
Why?
They believe they’re better and should have more rights than other people
Religion is barely a factor.
Why do they have these views?
You’d probably need to ask them.
It’s in their religious texts
yea ik, I was talking from the Israeli Zionist perspective. Of course, a one state solution is the best solution.

Then their perspective is different, because Isn’treal oppose even the two state solution at every step.
