    When Palestinians ain’t leaving and Israelis ain’t leaving there is no other realistic option (regardless of our political leaning and whether we think Jews have a right to statehood in that part of the world.).

      Yes there is. It’s called: stop being a religious ethnostate. Maybe try being a secular, Democratic nation that doesn’t literally have an apartheid system.

      South Africa was able to do it. Are you saying, with all of the funding my country is sending Israel (on my dime, by the way) they can’t do what South Africa did in the 1990s? Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

      Stop buying the propaganda. Both Netanyahu (and Likud in general) as well as Hamas have great interest in preventing a one state solution. It is of one of the few shared goals that they can agree on, and they have been doing everything in their power for decades to prevent that from even being an option on the table.

      And they’ve been wildly successful, as people balk at the very concept of rebuffing religious nationalism in favor of secular democracy with a one state solution.

      It’s the only possible way to achieve any kind of lasting peace in the region.

          It’s really not.

          And you do realize that you just demonstrated my point, right?
