Yes.

Israel’s existence is a massive fuckup and part of the multiple failed partition experiments of the 20th century. But it’s been a real country for the past 80 years and there’s no way forward to undo that now.

Palestine is also a real country and Israel doesn’t have a right to genocide. The US likes to pretend otherwise so it can exert more control in the Middle East, but all they’re doing is making things worse for everyone.

As much as people on both sides may hate it, a two state solution is really the only viable solution at this point.

    I don't think a two state solution is possible.

    If only because the Israelis want to isolate Jewish people from their neighbors.

    Prior to the birth of Zionism, the Arab Jews and the Arab Muslims of the area spoke each other's languages and celebrated each other's holidays. The Arab Christians got in on it as well. All of them were also united in their hatred of the Ottomans.

    Then the European Jews started buying up land and making little exclusive communities. They refused to integrate and eventually started fighting their neighbors, Jewish and Muslim alike. Things got worse from there.

    So yeah, cutting more than 100 years of history short, now we need a full de-nazifacation and a forced integration of the European Jews into the local Arab culture. With equal rights for all.
