The author, who identifies as Zionist, would presumably answer "no", as per this quote that was at the end of my previous comment: "It’s a sad irony, however, that the solution to the problem of Jewish refugee status, solved 1900 years too late, resulted in the problem of Palestinian refugee status, which would be solved 66 years too late if it were solved tomorrow...The struggle of the Palestinians is a mark of shame on the Jewish people for as long as they are denied a state. We made them refugees, just as nations of Europe, Africa, and Arabia made us into the refugees that we were for so long. I can’t think of much that’s worse than that, and every single time that violence flares up I spend enormous amounts of effort on not screaming about how there needs to be a Palestinian state already. The continued settlements? Israel. The continued targeting of civilians with weapons fire and the use of human shields? Hamas. The continued occupation? Israel. It is a seemingly endless cycle, and it honestly makes me cry."
