I recently did some wiki digging into the formation of Israel and it legitimately surprised me how illegitimate the country is. They were given land (not a state) and welcomed by Palestinians, then they flipped their shit over time and took everything. They were not oppressed but radicalized over imaginary oppression and used it as a tool to oppress Palestine.
The whole world is complicit or gaslit into buying this garbage. Insane that the two state solution is seen as compromise to Palestinians when it should be considered the only compromise given to Israel.
How about this as a compromise: all adults get to vote and the right to freedom of religion is unassailable. Why isn't that on the table?
That's the One State solution, and it isn't on the table because it's unacceptable to Israel.
