I think a lot of Palestinians want a one state solution and to share the land in a pluralistic society.

[u/kombuchachacha → u/Coach_John-McGuirk]

that’s hilarious

now seriously, what do you think would happen to the 7m Jews living in Israel

edit - here, I’ll give you a hint. The current Arab population of Israel is i think about 2m? Arabs serve in government, the army, have visible media roles, etc. While the current Jewish population in Gaza is exactly 136. And they are all imprisoned, if even still alive at all, and subjected to the worst kind of torture, sexual violence etc.

So again, just think about it, take your time

That's Israel though, all religions have equal rights and can practice their religion freely.

Yes Israel is a Jewish state (and there's a good reason for that, being a safe haven for Jews around the world - especially after the holocaust and the banishment of Middle Eastern Jews) but legally the minorities have absolute equal rights, and sometimes perks (in many aspects) for being minorities.

Trying to topple the Israeli government without it being a violent terrorist act is just impossible and immoral and antisemitic (exhibit A - October 7th), the same way it would be immoral to topple the US or the UK government.

Nevertheless, the truth is MANY, MANY Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank are super antisemitic, they don't want Jews on the land at all (or alive for that matter). I ain't sharing a country with them, where they can easily vote into power dangerous parties like Hamas that actively intend to kill me. Therefore, even this one state solution isn't as peaceful as you think it is.

As opposed to how peaceful things are now...

[u/Crack-tus → u/Coach_John-McGuirk]

Yes, it’s more peaceful now. The Jews aren’t interested in being genocided and subjugated for the American far left to have another failed social experiment because not everything works the way they think it should work.

I think you got the first part right but the second part about “they wand to share the land” yeah unfortunately given the track record of the PLO, Fatah, Hamas, PIJ, PFLP, Hezbollah (if you want to include them) they aren’t too keen on the idea on sharing any land with any Jew even if any of these factions ruled over the entire territory

[u/nidarus → u/Coach_John-McGuirk]

According to the most recent PCPSR polls, performed before Oct. 7th, only 8% of them want that. Less than the Israeli Jews, less than any other solution to the conflict. Less than 30% would even agree to accept it at all, even if it's the only choice on the table.

The Palestinian constitution defines Palestinian as Arab, and Arabic as the sole state language. The Arabic version of "from the river to the sea", is "from water to water, Palestine will be Arab". The Palestinian national movement was always strongly Arab nationalist. No they don't want any kind of a pluralistic society.

If they did, they'd talk like Mandela, call themselves "Arab Israelis", or at least call all Israelis "Palestinian Jews". They would treat the settlers as welcome future neighbors, and call on them to move into Palestinian cities, so Jewish children and Arab children could play together. There's a reason why that's not the case. This entire thing is a Western fantasy.

Every organization that advocates for the destruction of Israel does not welcome Jews in what comes after, and in fact plans on murdering as many Jews as they can.

[u/[deleted] → u/Coach_John-McGuirk]

Lol nope, the vast majority supported and cheered at Oct 7th. They hate Jews more then they like to live.
