    Look at any colonized people who have made peace on their colonizer’s terms for why they might not want to do that.

    Jews were more refugees than colonists and are playing by a much more humane playbook than the colonizers of those other groups did, but let’s ignore that for a second. Look at what has happened as a result of refusing to make peace. Is Gaza faring better than most former colonies right now? Your example, Native Americans, may have some issues and may have been screwed out of their ancestral lands but they have full US citizenship, freedom of movement and freedom of return. They aren’t being bombed because they aren’t hostile and aren’t killing civilians.

      How many years did that take?

        They were granted citizenship in 1924, how long that was from pacification varies from tribe to tribe. What makes you think it will be a similar timeline in this other conflict? The circumstances seem wildly different.

        There’s no need for name-calling. The smallpox blankets were a terrible atrocity, just as many terrible atrocities have occurred in the Israel-Palestine conflict. It didn’t result in endless war and belligerence. There is peace between the US and native tribes at present.
