    The two state solution isn’t workable, because Israel will never allow a viable Palestinian state. The only three options are

    • genocide
    • a permanent state of apartheid
    • giving the Palestinians the vote and letting the political chips fall however they may

    All three options have downsides, but in my view the third choice is the only one that’s sustainable in the long run and not morally monstrous. But I have no confidence at all that that’s the pathway that will be chosen.

      What, pray you, is the nuanced downside to genocide?

      Edit: lol I forgot the /s didn’t think it was necessary. Your wording was funny to say there’s a downside to all 3 like genocide is even an option

        Bad press. Gotta worry about stray kids getting all angry and coming at you years later. It’s a lot of work. But, they learned from ze Germans

        Guaranteed the Israeli govt talks about it as a viable option, the blasé attitude of their soldiers when it comes to shooting children or anyone not Israeli is an example. They’re just as bad as the saudis, our money lets them have carte blanche for whatever the fuck they want to do
