    Do you recognise that Palestine is a state?

    And if you do, why aren’t they allowed to attack an invading country?

    And I grew up hearing about car bombings there. Why would you think the one thing that has been driving this conflict for longer than you’ve been alive isn’t relevant?

    The two state solution requires Israel to recognise Palestine and deal in good faith, something they have never done.

    Hamas is the consequence of decades of this.

    Again if Israel wanted a 2 state solution they could have had it in the 1970’s. The fact that there are still Israeli “settlers” actively displacing Palestinians kinda speaks to the fact that even though Hamas are terrorists and employing methods that harm everyone, Israel has a disproportionate response and has NEVER even kept their word that was given to the Palestinians.

    Are you a Zionist?

      I personally would recognize the West Bank as a Palestinian state, I would have said Gaza too until October 7.

      I am not a zionist. Not religious at all. If they’d all realize that their religion and faith was a bunch of superstition and nonsense I’m sure they’d get along just fine.

      I do believe though that Israel is the ticket to human rights through stability and security in the region, it certainly is not Iran or Saudi Arabia. The world cannot afford another failed state in the middle east.
