So your philosophy is: we have to kill them first, otherwise they'd kill us?
Doesn't seem like there's any de-escalation from that position.
Now hold on... Your claim here is that, if there were a one-state solution, that the Palestinians would somehow, magically, gain the upper hand on Israelis and set up pogroms (just going to set aside the irony here that the Israeli government is literally doing this to Palestine at this moment, and have been since long before this current outbreak)? The people who've been living in an open-air prison, or who's property has been illegally stolen from right under their feet?
Where will all of this power have suddenly come from? They've been oppressed for generations. Israel has the backing of the most powerful military on the planet. Please, explain to me how the Palestinian people are going to suddenly pull an "Uno Reverse" card and gain all of the power in the region.
Give me a fucking break. And before you pivot and make this about the idea of a 1-state solution, while ignoring the rest of my comment. Just don't. I have made zero claims as to my views on 1-state vs. 2-state solutions.
Well firstly any settler with citizenship elsewhere should leave if possible. A large percentage of Israelis are first generation settlers.
Obviously a completely borderless Palestine wouldn't happen immediately, it would have to take quite some time and possible administrated by some outside force for some time.
Unfortunately decades of stealing homes and land, and killing thousands does tend to leave some harsh feelings eh?
You need all that Living Space, for your Chosen Race, huh?
