    I have the simplest solution to the Isn'trael-Palestine 'conflict' (decades long oppression and genocide); while I would prefer Palestinians get their country back and the Euros and Americans go back to the Western countries they idolize so much (the ones ACTUALLY responsible for the holocaust), the only acceptable compromise here (that frankly still robs Palestinians of their rights) is to give all Palestinians Isn'traeli citizenship including Palestinians abroad. At least then they can take the people living in their original homes or on their lands to court to get their homes back.

    Seriously, Isn'trael is like when after WW2 was over and the Jewish people tried to return to their homes in Poland (and Hungary and a few others I think?), the Polish people who'd taken over their businesses, properties and wealth conducted violent pogroms against them to maintain what they'd stolen from them; supporting Isn'trael is like hearing about this event and siding with the Polish.

    This person is ridiculous and has no grasp on reality, much like the average Isn'traeli and their supporters.

      I love bringing up this "solution" given how often liberal zionists still like to pretend Israel is a multiethnic democracy. Then they try to deflect and make excuses (Oh it's the Palestinians who don't want to co-exist), appeal to some sacred law of national sovereignty (It's on Israel's people to decide who they let into the country) or drop the act and start sounding indistinguishable from the ethnonationalist blood-and-soilers.

      Major L on the Soviets' part. Then again, hard to keep things under control if you're the USSR at the tail end of the war.
