I don't have a serious idea, so let me tell you about my flights of fancy.

I zap the current Israeli administration's family members with a de-aging ray to turn them back into babies. Then I travel back in time ten years and adopt them into Gaza families. Then I let them know what I did.

If you could back to the past why not try to convince Herzl's parent to not give birth to him

Or just hit Balfour with a pipe wrench until he agrees to not be a racist shithead.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The Zionists would still have done when they done even without Balfour . Eliminating the source of the supremacist ideology makes more sense

Herzl was influential, but he was hardly the only Zionist.

Theodor Herzl is the only individual mentioned by name in Israel's Declaration of "Independence". The declaration refers to him as the spiritual father of the Jewish State

Ok but Herzl was against Jews
