| This is by far the worst way to think about this conflict. It comes from a good place, but it's advocating for something that is: 1. Not even remotely likely to happen. 2. Not what almost any of the parties on the ground want to happen. 3. If implemented, would almost certainly lead to atrocities. 4. The opposite of what most people who have studied this issue think is a good option. It is the essence of not being really engaged with the problem, and trying to fit it into a mold that doesn't make any sense, and therefore coming up with solutions that will leave everyone worse off. I highly suggest that if you want to better the lives of people in the region, especially the Palestinians (since they're currently the worst off), you advocate for some form of 2-state solution, just like almost every other peace advocate in the region. (I'm happy to elaborate on any of the points above, if you'd like.) |
