The two-state solution is still best

The rather ignored 2 state solution remains the best possible solution to the I/P crisis.

The two state is the best possible outcome and while there is reasons against it Israel needs to be finding ways towards it.

If you don't have a 2 state solution, your basic options are:

1. A single state with full equality for everyone. This would mean the death of the Zionism since Jews would be a minority.

2. A single state where Jews are full citizens and Palestinians are second class citizens. This is essentially apartheid.

3. A single Jewish state, with Palestinian equality only after Palestinians have been reduced in number to no longer pose a demographic threat. This requires mass displacement or genocide.

I think the guest on Ezras last episode had it right. Israel needs to take steps to foster an independent Palestinian state that it can work with. If it wishes to stay a democratic Jewish state, it needs to find a way to separate and live with Palestinians.

We'll call it the three-fifths compromise, I'm sure everyone will be happy with it

Yes, that's totally comparable to slavery...

Yes actually, disenfranchising an entire race is similar to slavery.

So, people under the age of 18 and immigrants not being allowed to vote is also basically slavery?

[u/Key_Alfalfa2122 → u/CentreRightExtremist]

Immigrants should be able to vote and if they cant its because they signed up for the deal. Children will be able to vote. Telling an entire race that "you and your children and their children will never have political power here" is much much worse.
