Israel and Palestine: The One-State Solution

[Comrade Funk]

We need a one state solution with Israel being the only state and expand it to Biblical Borders.
 And include Sinai in it

[Comrade Funk]

Israel is burying its own grave. I don't understand how right-wing fanatics support further settlement invasion when it will ensure either 1.)Binational or 2.)Apartheid.

Maybe they are okay with Apartheid?

[Comrade Funk]

It's untenable. And thus it will never happen.

I don't think the latter conclusion necessarily follows the former one.

Then Israel is in deep sh*t.

People outside of Israel have been saying that since it's birth.  Many of them hoping for it, some of them actively working towards it.  Israel has done just fine, great even.  Yeah, their future might not be as secure as the US or, say, Japan, but one could fairly easy make the argument that they are the most secure country within 1500 miles of Tel Aviv (except Italy).


(I'm not saying one can't make good arguments for other countries being more secure, one certainly can....Turkey ain't going anywhere for example)

Israel as a Jewish and democratic state isn't secure. Moving farther into the West Bank while paying lip service to the US isn't gonna work anymore as John Kerry said. Israel (Bibi) is alienating the Democratic Party. Israel needs the US to  be bipartisan behind it. Increasingly, it isn't.

[Comrade Funk]

Then Israel is in deep sh*t.

That could very well be the case. But everything can change in a few years time.

You don't think Israel has a real problem if it annexes the West Bank? As I said, I think the status quo works for Israel reasonably well. And I don't think the West Bank leaders really want an independent state. They certainly don't act like it. At some point, they may change their mind.

Of course they're going to keep the status-quo. As much as I'd like it, in the short term annexing J&S would only bring trouble.

What's the long term solution for annexation?
