Jesus Christ you are now an expert on the Israeli psyche? And for 100 years ahead?The real issue is that the Israelis have no political incentive or intent to grant a 2 or 1 state solution for the Palestinians and Bibi or not, mean to take ALL lands from the river to the sea for themselves, even if it takes another 100 years of violence. That is the Israeli psyche and attitude.
You can keep arguing but it will NEVER happen. Istrsl has demonstrated in the past its willingness to remove settlements by force if necessary.It takes the right leader and Bibi is not him. Please do yourself a favour and look up the definition of never.Practicality is important. How practical is it to expect Israel to remove 670,000 settlers and their homes and businesses? And how practical is it to expect Israel to agree to total Palestinian independence - which means Palestinians will have an army, navy and air force, have their own government, trade relations and so on? The PA did recognize Israel previously, but nothing came of it. The real issue is that the Israelis have no political incentive or intent to grant a 2 or 1 state solution for the Palestinians and Bibi or not, mean to take ALL lands from the river to the sea for themselves, even if it takes another 100 years of violence. That is the Israeli psyche and attitude.
Regrettably you are right on both counts. The so called progressives will likely cost Joe the election. Sad.And the real winners today are Putin and Trump. Good job SJWs!
Also why should a one state solution be forced on Palestinians majority of whom don’t want it??You can keep arguing but it will NEVER happen. Istrsl has demonstrated in the past its willingness to remove settlements by force if necessary.It takes the right leader and Bibi is not him.

It is the wet dream of Hamas and the others selling the fantasy. What they cannot achieve militarily they hope to achieve demographically.Also why should a one state solution be forced on Palestinians majority of whom don’t want it??
All this misery going on and the western powers still support Israel. Even the Saudis are demanding that Hamas be eradicated if Israel wants to continue without interference. Everybody supports killing the Hamas vermin.20,000 dead
all hospitals out of action
allinfrastructureAKA Hamas terror tunnels under hospitals and schools destroyed
1/2 of all housing destroyed
all bakeries destroyed
Once he finishes the job of eradicating the Hamas vermin, then they can throw him in jail. Is that a deal, frank?Looks like even a genocide isn't enough to stop Netanyahu's corruption trial.
Maybe he'll have to escalate and try a repeat of the USS Liberty.....
Corruption trial of Israeli PM Netanyahu resumes
An emergency order from Israel’s justice minister following the events of October 7 had put the case on pause.
In fairness Jew haters are a big group. So it must be very comforting to feel included while virtue signal like there’s no tomorrowI guess it sucks to be on the side you're on right now. Nothing's going right. Yours and Palestine's only support is from the Jew haters. And they hated Jews even before the war, even before the "occupation".
You're right. It has always been bubbling under the surface. This conflict makes them feel like they can crawl out from under their rock by pretending to be fighting for the Palestinian people. Just like frank's been doing.In fairness Jew haters are a big group. So it must be very comforting to feel included while virtue signal like there’s no tomorrow
My best guess is that most western pro Palestine protesters either root for an underdog because they themselves are underdogs (POC or , basically a progressive version of unhappy incels) or on top of that are generally anti semitic.You're right. It has always been bubbling under the surface. This conflict makes them feel like they can crawl out from under their rock by pretending to be fighting for the Palestinian people. Just like frank's been doing.
In a way it's good because it shows how widespread that anti-Semitism actually is. And it's not because of Palestinians. I'd bet that of hundreds of thousands that are protesting, 95% hate Jews no matter what and maybe 5% are actually concerned about the Palestinians. Guaranteed that the white supremacists of Charlottesville ("the Jews will not replace us") are draped in Palestinian flags and scarves. They are just using the conflict as an excuse to come out of the woodwork and camouflage themselves.
Given your hysterics, I think Max knocked it out of the park.

Boo!You're right. It has always been bubbling under the surface. This conflict makes them feel like they can crawl out from under their rock by pretending to be fighting for the Palestinian people. Just like frank's been doing.

I believe the phrase you are looking for is.....Well I have always believed that Hamas is a terror group and up to no good. But that said, how do you envision them 'capitulating'? They may not remain in power, but they will still exist as an extremist group. The Hamas guys are all replaceable. I have no problem with Hamas being decapitated or disemboweled. What I do have a problem with is Palestinian civilians, especially kids being decapitated and disemboweled, which is what is happening today. And that is not an exaggeration because I posted a graphic pic a couple pages ago. Such violence will only create MORE terror, not less. Infact, we have lessons we learned from the 20 year war on terror, where it actually created more terror, not less. So guarantee this will never happen again? I can guarantee you that this will happen again, and worse, 10,000%, in one form or another, if Israel keeps going down this road, which they most certainly are. Infact, they have already succeeded in creating many terrorists for the future.
Firstly, the analogy with the indigenous folks is actually working against your argument for a one state solution, because that is precisely what we have here. A one state solution. Indigenous people are citizens of Canada and they can do whatever they want, the same as us, after decades of slaughtering each other.
Secondly, the 2 state solution is dead. For a 2 state solution to happen we need 3 primary things:
1. Israel needs to agree: Israel won't. Infact, they have said that they won't. Infact here is Bibi, telling you that there will be no Palestinian state. So please tell me, how is a 2 state solution possible, when Bibi has a "no Palestinian statehood" platform. Infact, his Likud charter that I highlighted in my last response, shows that he wants to keep building settlements and that he only will agree to Israeli sovereignty between Jordan and the sea. (River to the sea).
2. Palestine needs to agree: For Palestine to agree, they need absolute independence. Politically, economically, militarily and morally. Forget land for a second. Will Israel agree to such independence? Not possible, given the above declaration that from the river to the sea, Bibi will only agree to Israeli sovereignty.
3. There needs to be contiguous land. Here is the map of Israel with the Palestinian areas highlighted in white. Please tell me how a 2 state solution can be formed with this current scenario:
View attachment 280073
So once again, when you talk about 2-state solutions, Hamas surrendering etc., these are disingenuous and not well thought out statements where you are basically spouting talking points, knowing full well, that what you are really supporting is ethnic cleansing/genocide of the Palestinians. Atleast, Mandrill said it out loud that he thinks the Palestinians should just leave to Egypt and Jordan. So if that is what you think, you should say that out loud, but atleast have the honesty to acknowledge the injustice you are supporting instead of empty words.
So given this scenario, the only solution that will work, is steps towards a one-state solution. Baby steps, towards a one state solution to eventually happen a few decades later.
The only other option is genocide. So you decide, whether you want to be on the side of genocide or on the side of taking those steps necessary to integrate the Palestinians as equal citizens, into the only viable state we have right now, which is Israel.
Your suggestion that there are only 2 options is absurd and for the sake of the Palestinians, who you purport to support, I hope you are wrong. If you are right and I do not accept that at all, then you are simply guaranteeing the status quo. You and your friends are the real enemy of Palestinian aspirations. SadI am asking you to do the same. The 2 state solution will NEVER happen. There is literally ZERO incentive for Israel to let a 2 state solution happen.
So that is why am saying you are just flapping your gums without meaning a word of what you are saying. What you are really advocating is for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The only 2 options are a 1 state solution or genocide. I don't think with the scrutiny Israel faces the genocide will happen. So the only thing that will happen, is an eventual 1 state solution, and I think this will happen naturally over a period of time, just like it did in Canada and the US. It will take many decades past our lifetimes however, in my opinion.
I find it comforting that the hamas team on terb ended up making arguments that are so ridiculous.Your suggestion that there are only 2 options is absurd and for the sake of the Palestinians, who you purport to support, I hope you are wrong. If you are right and I do not accept that at all, then you are simply guaranteeing the status quo. You and your friends are the real enemy of Palestinian aspirations. Sad
