The US Administration admitted that their only source for the accusations about UNWRA employees in Gaza was "intelligence provided by Israel", so clearly their decision was taken based entirelly on "we trust Israel" and then the usual suspects followed very quickly, all or almost all being the ones who always declared "unwavering" support for Israel (one could call them The Cohalition Of Racists since they're also the ones that always harped about the whole "Jewish Nation" thing, a concern that only makes sense for racists), clearly motivated by something else than the conclusions of a proper, independent, investigation of the claims.

There was a permanent solution, then a far-right Israeli extremist murdered Isaak Rabin, then Bibi got elected by the majority of Israelis and promptly renegued on the permanent solution.

Renegotiating a 2-state solution is just a stalling strategy from the racists because they know everytime it was done in the past it just served to force the Palestinians to accept more of the status quo of land stollen by Israel in the meanwhile with their "colonates", and was always eventually reneguede upon by Israel when it stopped being usefull and in order to capture more land.

More such negotiations now would just reward Israel for taking more land and killing more Palestinians since the last such negotiated "solution" (on which Israel as always renegued once it wasn't useful for them anymore) and then proceeded to steal more land and kill more innocents, which is pretty rationale for Ukraine not accepting a peace settlement with Russia were they concede more land to Russia: there will never be permanent peace when the invader again and again steal lands, gets to keep the land they stole with a "negotiated solution" and then after consolidating once again does the same thing all over again taking even more land.

The only solution is to go back enough that Israel loses all it has stollen in the meanwhile and all the gains from stealling Palestinian land since the Far-Right got into power in Israel and started a systematic policy of stealing Palestinian land and killing any Palestinian that resisted it, and the only way to make sure any solution is permanent in the face of systematic Israeli lies and breaking of their own international commitments ("unwaveringly" protected by the members of the Cohalition Of Racists such as the US and Germany) is massive sanctions and a blocade until they comply and the same afterwards if they renegue on it in even the smallest of ways.

There cannot be a permanent solution without serious external punishment for breaking their commitment when the stronger side systematically renegues on it when they see fit with no consequences, steal more land and consolidate again afterwards by "negotiating" the next such "permanent" solution.

For decades Israel has shown itself to be even less trustworthy and more murderous than Russia (which must be some kind of record) and needs to be treated like you would treat any other such violent rogue nation.

As for the Nazi comparisons, go take it with Bibi and his bunch of Fascists demanding a "final solution", suggesting Gaza should be nuked, calling Palestinians very explicitly "human animals" and "violent" along with murdering more civilians, more journalists, more healthcare workers and more humanitarian workers in a short time frame than everybody but the Nazis (in some cases, more than everybody else ever, including the Nazis) - they're the ones that in their Fascist Racist words and violent deeds have transcended (especially in terms of violence) every other genocidal Fascist regime in modern history but the Nazis.

Had they not broken all records except the one of the Nazis of racist violence by a state, everybody would still be comparing them to Appartheid South Africa, not to the Nazis.

Don't want to be compared to the Nazis, don't use their style of propaganda and their etnic cleansing deeds as inspiration.

The US Administration admitted that their only source for the accusations about UNWRA employees in Gaza was “intelligence provided by Israel”

Where is the source for that?

And what does source mean? If Israel sent video material that shows UNWRA employees murdering Israelis, that should be enough, right?

There was a permanent solution, then a far-right Israeli extremist murdered Isaak Rabin, then Bibi got elected by the majority of Israelis and promptly renegued on the permanent solution.

Nice... And this is exactly why this war continues... Because of shit in the past. But with that logic, there will be no end.

Renegotiating a 2-state solution is just a stalling strategy from the racists

Who are the racists now? Are you actually classifying a whole nation as "racists"? That would be kind of..... racist.

The only solution is to go back enough that Israel loses all it has stollen in the meanwhile

And now, let's take a moment and ask, whether this is realistic... I'm not from Israel. I'm not from Gaza or the West Bank... But I can assure you that this is 1) not the only solution and 2) not really realistic. And I think, this is not actually the main wish of the people there. They are both sick of the never-ending war. That's their main problem.

massive sanctions and a blocade until they comply

Comply with what? Retreating from Gaza, so that Hamas re-gathers power, so that this conflict can go on forever?

Let's assume, it happens like that... Hamas (remember: they state that their main goal is to destroy Israel) builds new rockets, waits for 2 years and shoots them over the border again and kills a few hundred more people... What then? Don't you see this never-ending cycle, that can't be broken with Hamas in power?

Alright, the buzzword bingo begins again... No, thanks.
