Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a heated response to the news that the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia had officially recognized the state of Palestine.
“I have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible massacre on October 7: you are giving a huge reward to terrorism,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “And I have another message for you: it will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.”

Okay, now that he says this in English to our faces, can we stop talking about Israel's cooperation in a two-state solution?
3abas@lemmy.world · 78 pts · 344d
He's been saying it in English for decades, publicly for over two years, and everyone still pretending like a two state solution is anything.
None of us are free until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

We need to be a bit careful with "from the river to the sea" as to many in Israel, that is a call for Israel's destruction.
It's not Israel or Palestine that can exist. We want them both to exist, in peace. Angry at Israel's genocide though we all are, few are calling for Israel to cease to exist. That's what Israel is doing to Palestine.

israel should not exist just like how nazi germany does not exist anymore.
jabjoe@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 342d
Germany existed before and after the Nazis. Israel wasn't always ruled by extremists and should be there when they are gone.
It's a shame Palestine and Israel are divided by religion, but as an atheist, maybe I'm not going to get it.

"nazi germany" does not exist anymore and is a different country from "Germany" (notice the lack of nazi in the name). israel was founded by terrorists and has always been ruled by extremists who wanted to create lebensraum for their genocidal ethnostate utopia. Palestine and israel are not divided by religion. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived together in Palestine long before the bloody concept of israel was conceived.
jabjoe@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 340d
A single state solution would be lovely, but after Germany, you can see why Jews want a country of their own. However, none of that gives an excuse to take more land from neighbors. Let alone doing their own ethnic cleansing in that land.
hark@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 340d
I agree that, on a surface level, the justification seems reasonable, but it falls flat in the face of reality. The existence of israel actually makes it less safe for Jews around the world because the horrific actions of israel are incorrectly conflated as being the will of all Jews. Additionally, it's a terrible idea to concentrate as many Jews as possible into a single small country. That only makes them more vulnerable. With how many enemies the israelis are making through their actions, the second they don't have the backing of the most powerful military in the world, they're open to attack. They're relying on always being defended no matter what they do and they use it as a license to carry out the most horrific acts, including genocide. It's not sustainable and it should not be excused or tolerated.

Solution: convince Trump to unilaterally rename the Jordan the “Charlie Kirk Memorial River”, and then the West Bank will no longer be west of the Jordan.
ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 344d
The monkey’s paw curls.
We now have a one-state solution where every citizen regardless of origin has full legal rights, stolen land and houses have been returned, the renamed towns have been reassigned their original names, and a sizable proportion of colonists have willingly chosen to leave because they were only ever interested in being the protected class in an apartheid society. Robust border infrastructure has been rebuilt to Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, with a direct maglev like from Al Quds to every major nearby city. The world rightly recognizes the crimes that have occurred west of the river and the Nakba now sits in the global public consciousness in the same place as Rhodesia and the Nazi Holocaust.
The catch? The country cannot be named Palestine. It has the be named Donald J Trump (PBUH) Presents: The Miraculous Peace in our Time West of the River of America Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter, Buy Gold and War Bonds

We actually live in a world in which a corrupt psychopath overseeing a genocide unironically tries to characterize his opposition to the concession of simple human rights to the people he's mass-murdering as some sort of moral high ground.
Humanity doesn't need advances in technology - it needs advances in mental health.
I really don't think there's a single threat facing humanity that can't be traced back to the fact that there are so many people in positions of power and influence who are so obviously so dangerously mentally ill that they shouldn't even be allowed among the general public.

I like how it's now that there's almost nothing left that western countries chose to recognize the Palestinian state. "Let's just wait until they have finished exterminating the population before we told them it's wrong to exterminate the population. Surely history will remember us as the good guys, we're Canadian after all."

While the Gaza Strip may have been reduced to rubble, its people still live on.
Additionally - the West Bank also exists, even if it too faces its own onslaught from the IDF and colonisers masquerading as ‘settlers’.

You were effectively given 8 weeks to finish up annexing Gaza. This didn't come from no where.
Instead you chose to focus on killing innocent people in the West Bank, which has never been under Hamas control.
You chose poorly Bibi. The west gave you a massive free pass and you fucked it, now you get nothing - sucked in.

Netanyahu is not the problem. The mindset of a holy book of theirs that affects their whole nation is the problem. If Netanyahu goes, they'll replace it with another zionist.

More intriguing is the fact Israel was created on the back of terrorism specifically several bombings of civilian targets and open public murders of religious leaders that opposed the two state option. You'd think I'd mean solely Muslim or Christian but nope they're responsible for well documented murders of influential Jews.
Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 342d
Look further into how Muslims "expelled" Jews out the middle East and you'll find Israel giving governments money to kick out their Jewish community and they get to keep everything, when that didn't initially work in Iraq, Israel sent death squads into Iraq to attack Jewish communities
