| "Where do you even start to craft solutions when this is your understanding of the matter?" I'm not exactly a specialist but to me you just start by looking how similar conflicts resolved. It's either: -People massively destroy each other that they tired of it and agree on some country boundaries (Europe). -People learn to coexist each other in the same land / country and possibly forget their differences with time (Lebanon / France & Regional Identities). -One side genocides / expels the other / apartheid in between (Tatars, South Africa). And here basically: - 1 is not really possible since Israel is basically too powerful and can endlessly bully the other side. Also there's no political power currently for this in israel: Rabin who promoted a two-state solutions was shot and replaced by Netanyahu & co who are actively undermining against a palestinian state (it's their public stance). so there are two left: - 2 is the 'ideal' outcome happen and i'd wish for but you would need to remove *all* the extremists and the thousand years of religions magically so yeah. - 3 is what netanyahu and other religious guys are advocating, and likely will happen if you ask me considering the raw military and political support they have from the US. Personally i'd avocate for 2 in the name of peace. It would start by having western govs labeling israeli gov as 'extremist' and 'supremacist' (which is starting). But then without a counter power in military terms I think they will still do whatever they want. |
