    How about ending apartheid and making a multiethnic, multi-religious democratic state from the river to the sea? Israelis can become Palestinian, they don’t need to leave.

    have you ever seen an israeli or a palestinian?

    Neither like eachother. And honestly for good reasons. Good luck with that idea.

    TL;DR this is basically like going “why dont the USSR and US just become one state” during the cold war.

      They don’t like each other because one is a colonizer coming to steal land and ethically cleanse the population. If they stopped doing that I think they could get along.

      Black people and whites mostly get along on the US these days. Different peoples can live together.

        maybe, but we’re also forgetting that this has literally been a thing since the founding of israel, older than most of entire living families, and most of their grand parents as well.

        I’m not really sure something like this could just be “swept under the rug” and forgotten in such a manner, though if they decided to do a one state solution, i’m not going to stop them either lol. I just think a two state solution is the only realistic solution here, given the historical context and pretext of the conflict.

        Black and white people mostly get along now, which is true, but it took many, many years. For that to actually be the case, 1964 was the year the civil rights act was passed. But this was also a population that was subjugated and had their rights removed, not one that is militarily backed into a corner. So these are a little bit different.

        Plus we also can’t really apply US culture onto the middle east, they just experience the world differently over there.
