What is this unbiased internet source saying Israel is open to a two-state solution?Why would I lie?
I don't know any Palestinians and never been there.
I don't know any Israelis and never been there.
I think the diplomats of the UK and the USA have called it perfectly. Israel was attacked. In the certainty that the Palestinians were never able or minded to hand over the perpetrators of that attack then every right minded person agreed that the Israelis were entitled to do do something about Hamas themselves. Hamas had 'apparently' (but it does look to be true) spent the Palestinians money on building tunnels and hideouts many in hospitals, schools etc. The Israelis were warned that fighting a "Stalingrad" type war would cost thousands of lives on both sides. The reality is that thousands of Palestinian lives have been lost but nowhere near that many Israeli lives (which pisses off the Palestinian supporters no end). We have now reached the stage where the Israelis have effectively 'won' and the UK and USA diplomats are calling on Israel to stop. I agree with the UK and USA diplomats, it's effectively over, stop.
Israel is a democratic country and it's government and attitude to a two state solution will change all the time. There is plenty of unbiased reading on the internet indicating that Israel is open to a two state solution.
My stated beliefs seem to be in line with most fair minded Israelis and Palestinians. Negotiate a two state solution and fucking stick to it. It is not in line with hard line one state Israelis or Palestinians.
Have I gone over the top with some of my comments? Almost certainly, sometimes I post in temper. You started a response to me the other day with something like 'it's not a shit show, it's fucking genocide'. That is also over the top.
In conclusion, my a) and b) options are my heartfelt beliefs and always have been.
Oh, and on a personal level, just to clear up our deleted conversation last week. I was calling out your comment not you personally. I categorically do NOT think you are the word we cannot speak but that does not mean that you (or I) do not occasionally, overstep the mark (in my view!).
