The Israeli ambassador to the UK has rejected the idea of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, Israel has vowed to continue its bombardments in Gaza in the face of wavering international support - despite heavy losses.

    Ah yes, the statement “from the river to the sea” is only antisemitism when Palestinians say it. It’s not genocidal to wipe out the Palestinians and openly admit that there can only be one state from the river to the sea, a Jewish one.

      Israel proposed a two state system many times, Palestine has always refused it. They don’t want to coexist, hence their slogan.

      There’s not much choice left for Israel, they’ll fight until one of them ceases to exist.

        The problem is the Israelis never came to the bargaining table with good intentions.

        The Oslo accords were the first genuine attempt at peace but we all know they fell apart due to it being so unacceptable to the Israelis that they killed their own PM (Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli).

        Immediately after Rabin, Netanyahu became PM, again clearly demonstrating that Israelis have no interest in making peace.

        Camp David was a joke, where 34% of the West Bank would be taken away.

          Hamas doesn’t accept good intentions, they want for Israel to cease to exist, that’s their main demand. Obviously Israel isn’t too happy about it.

          It’s the same in russia - Ukraine war, russia wants for Ukraine to cease to exist.

    Of course a two-state solution is not possible if one of the parties is committed to sabotaging it at every turn.

      They both are unfortunately. Neither side will tolerate the existence of the other and the fighting will not stop until there are none left to fight

        Eh, kinda sorta but not really? Hamas is only in a position to even do anything specifically because they got propped up by Israel for decades. While I’m sure Fatah certainly wouldn’t complain if Israel disappeared overnight, they’ve also made a better faith attempt at two-state solutions than Israel ever has, low as that bar is.

        I say we remove EVERYONE from the land, designate it a world heritage site, allow a visitor center and museum from each of the three Abrahamic factions, and forbid people from living there. They’ve all lost the right to have it.

    despite heavy losses

    They’ve been culling people by the thousands over the past weeks, and they want to wave around that they lost 10 people in an ambush during this conquest of Gaza… it beggars belief.

    10 dead people who didn’t need to be dead is a tragedy. Tens of thousands of dead people who didn’t need to be dead is a bigger tragedy.

    Netanyahu will not survive but he’s going to hang onto power and take Israel down with him. He belongs in jail.
