If you don't like the protests, kidnappings by Hamas, killing of Israeli civilians, rocket fire over Israeli cities, and worldwide protests and anti-Israel sentiment, then Israel just needs to give equal citizenship rights (including voting) to all Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. That would solve the problem prompto. One secular, inclusive state for Arabs and Jews from the river to the sea. That's a free Palestine. It's not that hard Israel--just learn to share like the rest of us did back in preschool. Now for those of you who oppose this then you need to take a good long look in the mirror and see if you don't find a reflection of the Nazis, the Spanish Inquisitors, the Czars behind the pogroms, Claudius, Nebuchadnezzar II, Senacherib, and Ramses II. If you know Jewish history, then you know what I'm talking about.
Israelies have never seen Palestinians as humans Palestinians have always seen Israelis as invaders Palestinians may still agree. They have no choice Israelis on the other hand would find it much more difficult due to decades of dehumanization
You know, I think you’ll find difficult too to live with someone who wants you to die just because you are some specific nationality.
Why Argentina? Why can't they occupy your home? You see how this logic goes?
Jews have no connection to Argentina or Uganda. Israel is their ancestral homeland, putting them elsewhere would present the same problems as in Israel but much worse. Besides, nobody is calling for Americans or Australians to move back to England, Brazilians to move back to Portugal or Argentines to move back to Spain. To ask Israelis to do some is totally insane and ridiculous.
Israel gave Gaza strip and West Bank. What did Israel get in return? At that rate, how far is every country willing to go? USA should give up itself to various Native Americans. Western India up to Hyderabad should be given to Muslims as historically Muslims lived there. China should give up Tibet for Tibetans. You get the point. If you don't then you certainly do not understand the problem.
No man, Israel doesn't need to give up land. It's about a single country for both groups.
Meta, read Hamas' agenda. 99% of the so called Palestinians support Hamas' agenda. Why should Israel give citizenship to people that want to kill every Jewish person in Israel? Btw, Jordan was that country for the so called palestineans. In spite of that Israel gave up Gaza and Westbank.
How would voting rights make a difference? The ideology of both groups remains the same. Whoever is elected as President/Prime minister would dictate the law favouring their group. The conflict continues...
git reset —hard the entire region
Let’s take two recent historical examples of single countries with two ethnic groups that didn’t get along: Cyprus with the Turks and Greeks and Bosnia with the Serbs and Bosniaks. In both cases, it was a disaster. Cyprus is now partitioned between Turkish and Greek Cyprus while Bosnia is are constant risk of falling apart as the Serbian part wants to secede and join Serbia. This is idea that the Jews don’t deserve their own tiny state and that the Arabs need a 23rd state at their expense is ridiculous. Moreover, given the governmental makeup of their neighbors, such a state would either be an authoritarian military dictatorship, Muslim theocracy or, more likely, be so weak and fractured that it would be carved up by its neighbors (just like Jordan and Egypt annexed the West Bank and Gaza in 1949). This one state drivel is total garbage. Palestinians should move to Jordan, which is already majority Palestinian, finish what they shattered in 1970 and overthrow the Hashemite monarchy and create a Palestinian state. There’s your two state solution.
Yeah… that just won’t work, because Hamas wants all Jews to die.
You people love comparing everyone to Nazis besides for the group of people who persistently call for the extermination of all the Jews and will literally blow themselves up to achieve that goal. Like Israel, Palestinians have their own leadership. If Palestinians want to vote in elections, it’s up to their government to institute elections. They aren’t Israeli citizens, more importantly they don’t want to be. There has never been a independent Palestinian state and Palestinian isn’t really that old as a national identity to Arab Muslims living in the region. They have rejected every single instance for an independent state. Eradicating Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza so Palestinians have a single leadership is a great step. But Palestinians need to end things like pay for slay and use their aid and tax dollars to build, not kill their neighbors.
All these Zionists be writing paragraphs villainizing Palestinians, most of whom are children and mothers living under a dictatorship. They have no say. Palestinians have their property taken and are attacked in Israel. They are treated like animals… Israel is an apartheid state anyways. And then look at all the illegal settlements in the West Bank. For a country that says it’s special, they are always inciting violence and engaging in discrimination in their own country.
“They are living under dictatorship. They have no say” That sounds familiar. But I haven’t seen “Free Russia”. Only sanctions and not letting people who are against war with Ukraine to get an asylum. How Palestine is different? P. S. I’m against war between Russia / Ukraine and Israel / Palestine. All parties should live in their own borders, fix their internal problems, and not attack their neighbors.
Easy solution, Palestinians relocate, Israel compensates both them and their new countries. Everyone moves on.
Nah, the locals want to stay local. Most of Wyoming is empty. All the settlers can re-settle there. Plus their new neighbors would be friendlier since the settlers wouldn't have spent the last 100+ years pissing on them.
Yes, all the Palestinians to Wyoming, sgtm
