Israel Thread

[AE Bravo]

That's rather naive, on top of missing Egypt.

Why not? Always has been the best thing a state could champion for grandstanding. It’s more likely than a two-state solution, which is a fantasy given the facts on the ground and the map not being close to meeting what the Palestinians need thanks to the illegal expansion of settlements. Doubling down on mass thievery rendered that plan useless.

It’s either gonna be one-state solution (interstate freedom of movement + labor) at best, or one side wiping out the other at worst. Israel will not be able to do the latter. It’s political suicide. The problem with binationalism gives legitimacy to Zionism and it will have its domestic opposition, unlike the full-on Palestine solution. In a conflict of this nature, that factor will ensure success in the long term. Even if the Zionist project goes the squarely apartheid route, they will be outlasted by demographics alone.

So lip service is useful. A dedicated war economy and at least tens of thousands of dead over months or years is less palatable, much less a coherent interstate alliance in service of that end (which will then collapse on itself once the mission is accomplished).

Someone out there always has an appetite for continuous civil war - this can't translate to offensive conventional war due to the scale of organization required.

Israel will not be able to do the latter. It’s political suicide.

They will if it turns out to be the path of least resistance among the others.

Even if the Zionist project goes the squarely apartheid route, they will be outlasted by demographics alone.

Those demographics aren't favorable for Palestinians though - just unfavorable for Israelis.
