This is an incredibly inane (and sadly oft-repeated) argument. Your theory is that Israel is unwilling to live next to the Palestinians but somehow magically is MORE likely to accept a single state, where Jews are a minority and have to live under a Palestinian controlled government. Daft. |
Jews were living successful lives in numerous nations in the middle east, but the Zionist used violence, bombings and secret agreements with foreign governments to force them out because they didn't want to leave. https://mondoweiss.net/2023/07/zionism-is-an-ashkenazi-thing-how-zionism-engineered-the-expulsion-of-iraqs-arab-jews/ |
And…you’re part of the problem. |
Oh, I didn't say at all what Israel is "willing" to. Israel doesn't want either option - a unified 100% democratic state (called something other than 'Israel'), OR a two-state solution. Israel doesn't want anything that involves compromise or sharing or peace (for anyone but their own imported people). |
Ah. You’re one of those. So your theory is that we’re going to somehow force a nuclear-armed nation to (peaceably) accept its own demise? What’s your plan to accomplish this? Unicorn magic? |
I would be happy with withdrawing all US funding, and seeing how Israel survives. Let them accept the own fate that the created. But if you're a proponent of a two-state solution, what do you think of a Palestinian state acquiring nuclear arms? Or would they not be allowed to? Is one just in the possession, but not the other? |
The Mizrahi Jews are the most rightward leaning demographic in Israel. They have living memory of life as a minority in MENA, and it’s existential for them to never be a minority again. The Ashkenazi Jews are the ones who comprise most of the Jewish left. Doesn’t speak well to how the Jews were treated in MENA. |
Zero percent chance that pulling US funding would lead to Israeli acceptance of a 1 state solution. However, as we’ve seen on multiple occasions, US leverage has led Israel to propose 2 state solutions. I strongly favor doing so again. As for nuclear weapons, I’m opposed to ANY additional nations acquiring nuclear capability, so that’s a no. |
They can stay. It just isn't hospitable there. You asked what we can do. We can't convince these governments to do anything. |
Lebanon is able to successfully handle three religious sects by mandating the president is Christian, the prime minister Sunni Muslim, and the speaker of parliament Shia Muslim. That’s in their constitution. Israel/Palestine also have three religions among them. It’s possible to have the same arrangement in a one state solution: Jewish president, Muslim PM, Christian speaker etc. As for it being the “Jewish state”, it cannot be a Jewish state if it’s a democracy. It needs to make a state religion and hold elections like Iran if that’s the case |
Right. Because Gaza is poor and has no heavy machinery or equipment, when buildings are bombed, bodies stay under the rubble for months. That’s why they don’t know the exact number of dead. It’s because there are so many bodies stuck under the rubble. |
They won’t admit it to us non jews but they know Netanyahu is a straight up loser. It’s kinda like the Palestinians who don’t want to condemn Hamas. Nobody wants to admit their guy is the jackass |
And there's a zero percent chance Israel would shut down all the illegal settlements. Have you not been paying attention in the past year and a half, on Netanyahu's plans for Gaza? We need to stop all funding. Israel hasn't been remotely interested in a two state solution for decades. |
Both Netanyahu and Hamas will fall on their own swords with silent coups from the Israeli military and Mossad for King Bibi , and a cabal of Gazans will stand up and take out Hamas. Both groups have a history of frictions and party infighting anyway. Sinwar himself completed 10/7 as a coup against Hamas to take over control of it with his brother. The billionaire Hamas in Qatar didn’t know 10/7 was even going to happen because Sinwar was a lone wolf with his own guys.
Something similar to this has already happened in Israel and it was expedited last year when Biden spoke to Benny Gantz to piss Bibi off. Mossad considered joining the demonstrators to take out Bibi in 2023. Eventually both Hamas and Netanyahu will lose their Vice grip on power due to internal power struggles. Both of their falls will happen at the same time just as their ascents did |
Plenty of Jews, including Israeli Jews, openly admit they hate Bibi. There were and are regular protests against him in Israel. |
