Israel/Palestine
Related: About this forumA Realistic Solution To The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Here's a great piece:...
Hopelessness and endless conflict can be replaced by a peaceful future, but only if we act differently. We must put aside the concept of an Israeli-Palestinian agreement in favor of an Israeli-Arab agreement as the only realistic means to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Such agreement is achievable today more than ever before.

Sure, it would be nice if Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq finally gave up their endless state of war and signed a peace treaty, but how would that change the reality in the West Bank and Gaza while Hamas and the PLO still refuse?

(1,835 posts)It's another "peace process" where Israel gets the security of a cease fire and the Palestinians get . . . . a process. Such a deal.

(6,171 posts)unfortunately the only realistic discussion would be how to implement the one-state solution peacefully. There's no two-state solution anymore, Israel never wanted it, and Netanyahu killed it.

(3,879 posts)That's just a euphemism for genocidal war to destroy Israel.
The only reason there aren't two states is that the Palestinians have consistently rejected any peaceful solution.

(30,109 posts)Neither you or the Palestinians can ever accept a Palestinian state living side by side next to a Jewish state. You'd rather see the Jewish state eliminated altogether rather than see a Palestinian state next to it.
That's been the problem all along, not Netanyahu or any other bogeyman.

(2,707 posts)its about there even being a Jewish state ANYWHERE. If the Jews had found a deserted Island in the Carribean, anti-Israel types would go crying for the wildlife and make up endangered species that weren't even endangered.
