    A Palestinian state wouldn’t fix it either, considering that Hamas and similar groups in the area very explicitly want ALL the territory and want Israel to not exist at all.

      Great, then it’s solved. The only solution is genocide. Doesn’t matter which side, just pick one, and kill them all.

      That is what you’re saying, right?

          Good is relative. What you mean is that there isn’t a perfect solution. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

          So if your argument is that a two state solution isn’t perfect, therefore we shouldn’t do it, then that’s tacit approval for my first solution…a final solution if you will. Just pick a side, and poof.

          If you’re not comfortable with genocide, then a two state solution is the only viable path forward with any hope of chance of being made into a good outcome, even if not a perfect one.

          So pick one: a final solution or a two-state solution, but stop with the wishy-washy “the status quo must remain until a perfect solution is found”.

            Don’t get me wrong I’d love a two state solution or really any solution where they stop killing each other. But in order for a two state solution to happen, you need both sides to agree on the borders, and good luck with that.

                  Well one side is a lot more eager to kill the other. Meanwhile, the other side has just been trying to defend themselves and get their homes back for 70 years.

                  The UN is the one that caused this problem by giving away land other people already lived in to Zionists. And rarely has Israel had any good faith in the negotiations. They’ve generally picked terms that were extremely one-sided to avoid a two-state solution. It’s why they supported Hamas in the first place. Israel doesn’t a sovereign Palestinian state. They want all the land, and their attempted offerings have always had that with them getting way more land, refusing right to return for Palestinians, and keeping de facto control over their territory and people. During one negotiation, even the US negotiator said they wouldn’t take the Israeli offer if he was in the shoes of the Palestinian leader at the time.

            To be clear, I support a free Palestine and condemn Israel’s actions.

            But, something that you, and most people I see discussing this, are missing is that this isn’t just a political or land issue. This is a fundamentalist religious issue too. Both parties believe they have a sacred right to the land and that the other does not. The two parties ideologies are fundamentally incompatible with anything other than the removal of the other party. There is not, and never has been, a road to a two state solution and the actions we’re seeing now have likely always been the plan for Israel. Israel has squeezed and squeezed the Palestinians until, surprise!, they (or at the very least a subset of them) decide it’s time to fight back. That’s the excuse Israel has been looking for, an event large and egregious enough for an all out assault and to ultimately push the Palestinians into the ocean and remove them from the equation.

              That’s like calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine a holy Christian war.

              The Zionists very clearly do not have any right to Palestine and the Palestinians very clearly do have the right to their land.

              The fact that israel has been committing genocide for over 75 years there doesn’t magically give them the right to anything.

                You’ll notice, I don’t support either’s religious claim in my comment. I’m conveying what they believe and why it’s an untenable situation. It is, in fact, a religious war.

                Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a political war. They are not the same.

      Hamas has explicitly said they would accept the 1969 borders with no settlers, no IDF presence, and an actual Palestinian state that’s not controlled by Israel.

      So try again.

          Go read it. No seriously. Stop letting Israel tell you what it says, and actually go read it.

          Here’s the link.

          They clearly do not like Zionism and would love to have the entire region back. But they lay out their demands for peace pretty clearly.

            And then you look at their original 1988 charter,

            https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp

            Where they say…

            Moreover, if the links have been distant from each other and if obstacles, placed by those who are the lackeys of Zionism in the way of the fighters obstructed the continuation of the struggle, the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah’s promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:

            “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

            Or,

            “ Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory). “

            Also in the linked 2017 charter they state

            1. The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah; it is also in violation of human rights that are guaranteed by international conventions, foremost among them is the right to self-determination.

            Which certainly sounds like them wanting to destroy Israel.

      You’re down voted for truth.

      Many Palestinians would probably be happy for recognition of state I imagine but Hamas very likely would not. It’s currently a convenient excuse for them but if it happened I highly doubt they would stop trying to lob missiles over the border and be a peaceful neighbour, even if Israel stopped trying to steal land.

      Not saying it shouldn’t happen but it’s not some magical solution like many seem to think.

        If they didn’t stop they would lose all support. They’ve explicitly said they’d accept a Palestinian state with the 1969 borders or a single state solution with rights for everyone.

        At the end of the day though, those are also just the best solutions. Genocide certainly ain’t it.
