Israelis and palestinians
So you’re in favor of a one-state solution?
Who do you think will govern that state?

Two-state solution is better. Otherwise you’ll always have a dominant majority marginalizing the other, or at best you would have a political stalemate incapable of getting anything done.

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.

I’m just simply stating the simple facts that Israel must be dissolved and everyone who had a hand in the genocide must face justice. The actual process of determining the governance etc. should be determined by those who are going to actually live there.
