[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is such a horror show. Its existence undermines the moral authority of the US.

Remember Israel has made it clear there is no two state or one state solution. So what are Israeli plans for the Palestinians? [/quote]

Remember that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians do not want a two state solution.

[b]And, of course, that Israel accepted the UN partition[/b], while Palestinians did not.

And yes, the current Israeli government is also awful. [/quote]

That was true only for a brief snapshot in time— or have you forgotten the existence of the West Bank settlements which are entirely contrary to the UN partition they “accept”?[/quote]

Israel tried for 50 years to bring about a two state solution. Do you remember the Oslo Accords in the 1990s? Yitzhak Rabin even scarified his life for it.

And as always Palestinians chose no, just as they did after World War II. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan weren't independent countries either after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. But they've all been independent for more than 80 years now even though they are all very complicated, multi-ethnic states. They had the wisdom and foresight to work with everyone and make the necessary compromises to bring about independence.

It is only the Palestinians that choose war and violence over and over again. Decade after decade. And the entire Middle East - not just Israel - has had it with Palestinians and their years of stupid decisions. There is a reason every border in the Arab world is closed to Palestinians.

But please do enlighten us and inform everyone what the Hamas peace plan is. We're all listening. What does Sinwar and his followers and admirers here in the US have to say about bringing peace to the region?

You and your dumb friends always fall for this story. Just like now, Israel never had any intention of building peace or letting Palestinians have a state. It has always been a performance. Claiming to negotiate with one hand and building settlements with the other. And then coming down on Palestinians for legitimate resistance. Just like it is pretending to negotiate right now.

So incredibly ironic when Israelis talk about every border of the world being closed to Palestinians. When the world’s borders were closed to Jews, it was horrible. When they are closed to Palestinians, it is somehow justice?[/quote]
