Sorry, Noah, but that's just not realistic. The adults in the room are talking, and we've decided that only a six state solution is acceptable. A hexagonal coalition of ursine states. In the very center where they all meet will be a hexagonal table where the hexbear council meets.
Only six? Are you really thinking about this seriously? 51 States. Imagine it. We will call it New Burgerland and impose McNugget law.
I support a 3 state solution:
- Palestine
- New Palestine
- Democratic People's Republic of Palestine
Maybe around the same time the US backs the United Mexican States?
But Noah, why would having three Palestines be better than just one Palestine?
If number go up is good for capitalism, it must be good for international diplomacy.
Ethnic cleansing is off the table
The way that's framed makes it sound like a painstaking weighed decision that pains the liberal making it.
Well does he consider the colonists returning to Europe to be a form of ethnic cleansing?
The idea that it would be on the table is freak-brained and speaks to the Zeitgeist in ways that the author surely didn't intend. The same way you don't have to mention inventing a time machine to go back and kill Hitler probably isn't going to be the main focus, you don't have to mention that ethnic cleansing isn't a good solution.
It really does remind me of those "redpill" creeps that seriously offer as a sales pitch (because they see relationships as transactional) that they promise not to do a sexual violence to their dates.
The main problem is not them lying and being paid to lie, it's that they actually believe this crap. Catching a liar is easier than overturning someone's ideologie.
counter-counter-counter proposal: infinite state solution.
sovereign citizens rejoice

to be fair, I have seen most of the palestine leftist movement want a Marxist state. Most Anti-colonial movements use anti-colonial nationalism so they seek to establish their own state.
okay yeah Im replying to a joke ik just being silly
YOU CANT HAVE A FUCKING CONTIGUOUS STATE OF PALESTINE WITHOUT ETHNICALLY CLEANSING THE SETTLERS.
edit: AND IF YOU'RE FUCKING MIXING UP PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS ANYWAYS THEN DOING ANYTHING BUT A SINGLE STATE IS JUST MAPFUCKER HUBRIS.
There are no longer Israeli and it returns to them being Palestinian Jews. The way it was before Israel was invented. A national identity rather than the settler colonial ethno-state they have spent the better part of the last century trying to create.
The settlements are still built as an explicit plan to make a Palestinian state impossible in practical terms, their status as a settler and their entire current lives are a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.
I like how the subhead reiterates that "ethnic cleansing is off the table" as if it was once a reasonable option to consider.
well that would probably be the implicit liberal assumption
What would the third state even be?
They're not like ice cream, you can't swirl nations!
I assume he means separating Gaza and the West Bank into separate states but that really isn’t the source of the problem
non-contiguous states just don't work
You're gonna need a little more than three then.
Show
If you're gonna end up with a mix of Palestinians and Israeli settles within the same borders anyways, then thats literally just the single state solution.
Any further amount of states beyond that in this scenario is just an act of fetishistic masturbation on the part of these op-ed mapfucker freaks, finally reaching climax with the thought that they didn't miss out on all the fun due to being born after all the big wars.
PALESTINES GO UP
