A high-level U.N. conference gave “unwavering support” to a two-state solution and called on Israel to commit to a Palestinian state.

    Doesn’t mean shit unless they start a peacekeeping mission there that is willing to shoot at IDF troops.

      Send in the Swedish Peacekeepers. Highly trained, highly disciplined, are trusted enough by senior command to make engagement calls themselves due to the decentralised command structure in their military.

      Every effective peacekeepers that will shoot at anyone who targets them or another group.

      The impression I get from this wave of recent announcements about Israel including of people like the British Government and Macron (both of which keep shipping weapons to Israel, and the former even has the police arresting anti-Genocide protesters) of “we will recognize Palestine as a nation if you don’t stop” is that a bunch of politicians in Western nations are activelly executing a delay strategy to avoid that under pressure from public opinion all over the World (including their own countries) Israel is the target of actual sanctions.

      The whole thing reeks of the “thrown it into the long grass until it blows over” kind of political strategy for not doing what the public wanted that was incredibly common in British politics when I lived there.

        Spain suspended arms sales to Israel in 2023. What France, UK, Canada and others are doing now is embarrassingly little and shockingly late. Really, at this point they are basically saying “we’re fine with genocide but could you please hide at a little bit better so it’s easier for us to pretend we don’t see anything”.

    History shows us that Israel always keeps on trying to eliminate those of any other ethnicities than White-Jewish in that area to steal their land (if you think this is not a “White” thing, go check how Israel has treated Black-Jews), so a two-state solution is nothing more than yet more chances in the future for Israel to finish their Holocaust if they don’t finish it this time around.

    The only real solution is a single, multi-religious or even non-religious state, which is not Israel and probably should not be based on anything from Israel since the very constitution of Israel makes it an Apartheid state.

    We’re well pass the point were the upsides of the existence of the nation of Israel as is outweigh the downsides.

      The real solution is to abolish the Sikes-Pikot borders and unite the countries that held jews, christians, muslims, yezidis and druze for centuries

      We should be looking at the broader picture.

      Countries that share one common language, one common cuisine, culture etc separated into 4 broken countries due to the british-french colonisation. And then the british ushered the zionists in modern day Palestine.

      The reality is, these 4 countries (or one country really) were colonised for the past 500+ years from the Ottomans then the British-French then the Zionists.

      They never had the time or resources to develop their own power, their own army while they were under colonial rule. And to pretend that Jordan, Lebanon or Syria ever had their own “sovereignty” is a joke at best.

      But it’s always divide and conquer, not unite and prosper isn’t it?
