This idea of a majority Jewish state, kept so through military occupation of Arab-dense territories, needs to simply go away.
I’m a one-state solution guy. Let everyone there practice their religion in peace and access their holy sites freely, and let democracy reign.
Israel’s big sin is that they want democracy BUT only with a majority Jewish population and an official state religion etc etc etc. It’s more than a Jewish homeland - it’s an ethnostate.
That is what needs to end. It doesn’t go somewhere else. No one gets pushed into the sea. We just stop pretending like we can use arms to carve out the “democracy” we want, and Israelis and Palestinians all live in a state that guarantees their freedom and safety.
Some fear that extremists will rise and take over that pluralistic society: build a constitution that prevents this. Embrace pluralism. Marshall Plan the fuck out of Gaza until the Palestinians see they have more to lose than their misery.
Don't go there.
If people would've had these opinions on Germany after WW2 that would've went really bad.
Germany has been rehabilitated not perfectly but imo rather well.
I think it is possible for Israel/Palestine as well.
Or are you suggesting to genocide Israelis like their government is doing to Palestinians right now?
That'd be pretty fucked up, don't you think?
The state of Germany as it were no longer exists. It was literally deleted. This doesn't mean that all of Germany was genocided. You just cooked up a worst case of your own head and projected it onto op.
People did have these opinions after WW2. They removed nazis from poland, france, russia, etc. Similarly, if zionists refuse to accept freedom, equality, etc., then they're free to return to their actual "homelands" in europe, asia, africa, etc. for rehabilitation.
Maybe just "would've gone", if I'm speaking English.
Or are you suggesting to genocide Israelis
I think one can stop propping them up and emboldening them to attack every neighbouring country on the shittiest of sham pretexts, and prevent their repeated belligerent invasions of other sovereign nations without going as far as actually attacking them back, let-fucking-alone going all the way to genocide.
That's a bit of a leap, don't ya think? I've seen goalposts move, but that's a little ridiculous.
On top of Biden not doing anything useful here, Trump and the Republicans would gift them a red carpet while padding their stock portfolios with weapons manufacturers to make money on it.
I hate this timeline. Bibi’s the one needing regime change.
"The secretary also increased the readiness of additional U.S. forces to deploy, elevating our preparedness to respond to various contingencies," Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh told reporters Monday.
Ehhhh…..
Israel is making this threat because the U.S. is sending more people to the region. Israel’s insanity and posturing is enabled by the U.S. putting itself in a position to be committed.
We already know Russia has assets in Syria and is fighting a proxy war with both the U.S. and Ukraine there.
These guys are creating a horrific futures for them. They are violent and reckless. Nothing to do with what humanity should be in the future. Almost all intelligence surveillance companies are from Israel.
I am failing to recognise if this is satire or not.
Maybe my geography is too bad, but what waterway are you talking about? Israel is not strategically significant four the Suez canal, is it?
Iran’s last change in ruler was barely noticeable: one ancient dude in a turban for another with almost the same name. I’m sure the next will be similarly unnewsworthy.
Well I hope it's true. Iran's regime need to change. Women have to stop being oppressed there. It's not right. No Iranian I know likes the regime there. I dare u to find one that does.
