Yes it seems the only hope is that genZ has woken up enough to carry this on into law making positions later in their lives.
I'm feeling quite pessimistic about this round leading to any sort of solution. At most I see a temporary ceasefire happening with enough pressure. Israel will not retreat from Gaza without actually being held accountable with sanctions and drop of military support. And that just doesn't seem to be in the cards with how the USA and Germany stand behind Israel. (70/30 split in military support, 1% UK, rest all smaller)
Israel has already leveled a buffer zone in Gaza shrinking the territory by 32%. Next to taking control of the Philadelphi corridor (border with Egypt) and building the Netzarim corridor for easy raid access. The post war plan for Israel is in plain view, turning Gaza into another West Bank. Further strengthen the blockade, rule with brutal oppression, split Gaza in half and if the Settlers get their way, start settlements again in Gaza.
This will only increase resistance, so the conflict goes on.
The fallout from destroying the international rule based order will ripple on. Russia, Iran, China will only feel more emboldened doing whatever they want. US credibility is gone, Arab countries will turn further to BRICS and US rule will continue to decline. Eventually a new world order / balance will come forward, yet for the Palestinians in Gaza it will be a terrible life until cards are in place for real change.
There's a small chance Europe grows some balls and starts pushing back against the USA/UK/Germany, poses sanctions on Israel and works towards a new peace agreement. Yet while being busy with the Ukraine-Russia problem, Gaza is secondary. Which is backwards, as Russia takes full advantage of the breakdown of international law.
Russia is posing empty threats to the West, yet the West does exactly the same. All words, another warning, maybe some meaningless sanctions, maybe an arrest warrant no one will act on. Even if the ICJ rules it a genocide in the coming years, the UNSC won't act on it, Israel will ignore it protected by the US veto.
The only hope is to keep people aware to what is happening so it might finally change the views of those with the power to actually do something. Or wait for the next generation of politicians and law makers to have a more inclusive world view.
This video deserves a lot more views, explains really well why it's all the colonial countries that support Israel and don't value Palestinian lives.
You could also call it Colonial entitlement.

Since it's ingrained behavior crossing generations, it can only be undone by education / keeping people aware of the consequences.
It's still happening here as well (Canada) against the indigenous population. We now have this land acknowledgement statement before events, yet still continue to take more land from the reservations we pushed the indigenous people into. For example https://www.caepla.org/latest_un_indigenous_land_grab
Humans still have a long way to go before becoming part of humanity as is the Greek work humanitas for "human nature, kindness” including all humans. We still very much live in the dark ages of Us vs Them. The ruling elite knows how to exploit this, fear mongering, keeping people divided and fighting over scraps.
And thus we march headlong into awaiting disasters from climate change like Lemmings walking off a cliff :/
(Sorry for painting such a grim picture. It is quite a lovely Sunday morning outside. Enjoy it while you can!)
