First off, I’m truly asking this in good faith, please be nice but correct me too on anything I saw that’s stupid.

As an anarchism, my ideal solution for Palestine is a no-state solution where people are allowed to move freely, interact freely, and work being done on both sides to heal from the decades of conflict and live in one society.

Now you folks (I love you folks) aren’t all anarchists and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Sometimes I’ll see people saying that all Israelis should just move somewhere else, but I think that’s really dumb. Both sides seem to be operating on the assumption that the other group will leave, which in my opinion is just as racist thinking as saying all the Palestinians should just leave.

So what are the tankie’s (/j) thoughts.

    Since Israel has spent 40 years making two states, one for each side impossible, the only solution now is a single state that guarantees equal rights for all citizens, and is dedicated to a truth and reconciliation process where the old injustices of both sides are resolved.

    It would be named Palestine

      Pretty close to my answer. Lacking the privileges of an ethnostate, a steady trickle of Israelis leave for other nations. The resources that had been devoted to a massive military can now be dedicated to the necessary infrastructure (sewage treatment, desalinization, etc.) for a densely populated region.

        It will be much more likely to "backslide into authoritarianism" if it's unable to defend itself from inevitable US subversion.

        Wouldn't it be less likely to backslide into authoritarianism if there wasn't a state at all?

        I don't think that's a reasonable assumption. In the absence of a state all that would happen is the one ethnic group with the majority of the resources and the majority of the military equipment will just form a state and go back to exterminating the other ethnic group

        Yeah it's so simple, why not simply abolish the state? Perhaps in the next 24 hours? It's not like it's the manifestation of irreconcilable class differences or anything.
