Something you'd never approve in any other situation worldwide, only WRT Israel.
So China can flood Tibet with more Hans than there are Tibetans, ending Tibetan sovereignty. Turkey can flood N.Cyprus with more Turks than there are Greeks there - ending Greek sovereignty. Same WRT Syria flooding Lebanon, Morocco flooding W.Sahara, Indonesians in E.Timor, Vietnamese in Cambodia, Armenians in Azerbaijan, Russians in Abkhazia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
Ridiculous, right? No way that should happen....
Whether or not you believe that's really and truly happening - in great numbers or small numbers - is irrelevant. The point is you believe in "equal rights" so the rights of all those occupied & losing their self-determination are secondary to the rights of those flooding the area based on bloodlines going back thousands of years. Those being occupied can just suck it. Their countries & cultures destroyed, no more self-determination. Yay for settler colonialism! But what the hell - equal rights...
Forget Israel/Palestine for a moment & think how indefensible your position has become.
You don't see problems with Israel accepting Gaza as part of 1 big state? No issues with Hamas? No immediate suicide bombings, Hamas attacking Jews....? Really? Are you serious?
So one big Jewish state is fine with you? A Zionist homeland?
Or Israel should just take its chances, allow full RoR, hope Hamas or the PLO is never elected....what could possibly go wrong?
