The two state solution is definitely not better. It would mean both side ethenic cleansing because of the whole world allowed isrsel to build colonies all over the west bank. Thinking that israeli and palestinians can never live together is racist and antisemitic

    It's not racist and anti-semitic, it's called being in touch with reality. Even western democracies are having issues with either stalemates causing ineffective governance, or a resurgence in populist extremism causing political instability.

    You can't just merge two vastly different societies with a history of open conflict under one political system and expect it to magically become some egalitarian multicultural utopia. History has shown countless times that it doesn't work. Almost always, at least one group is marginalized and disenfranchised.

    Believing that two semetic populations can never be in peace is antisemetic and racist. Since you believe in that it makes zero difference if the solution is a one state or two state because even with a two state solution. Both side could still attack

    All your bullshit was excuses used by pro apparteith in Sourh africa.

    I didn't say they can "never" coexist in peace, I said the solution is more complex than simply throwing them into the same pot and saying "there, have democracy."

    If you're just going continue to lean on strawman characterizations of what I'm saying, then we're done here.

    I didn’t say they can “never” coexist in peace

    So why you are saying a one state is imposible?

    I said the solution is more complex than simply throwing them into the same pot and saying “there, have democracy.”

    And I said a million time that i agree it is complex . The problem is that you refuse solutions just because it is complex.

    we’re done here. I hope so

    If you want an example of how that sort of thing plays out, go read about Kurdistan.

    Multiculturalism and democracy are good things, but if they're not implemented intelligently then bad things can happen, and ignoring the historical contexts in which conflicts between ethnic groups are rooted is not sufficient to overcome the animosities that may arise when you try to merge them into one functioning government.
