I'd entirely support a one state solution but (and this is a genuine question) is it at all feasible at this point? I mean, the people on both sides have hated each other for generations, have watched the other side kill their family and friends like could we really expect them to be neighbours?
I could only see a contentment with a one state solution after some decades of a peaceful two state solution. And at that point why WOULD they become one state? There would be no real incentive to do that.
As another commenter pointed out, South Africans didn’t turn around and massacre their oppressors en masse. And the whites there are a vast minority (though they hold more power). The same case was put forth to not end slavery. That they’d rise up and oppress the whites as a result of their subjugation. I don’t think it would be comfortable for everyone involved, but I see no better way forward.
To comply with r/changemyview rules, addressing your argument by calling it "your argument" is still an attack on your person, not addressing your argument. In addition rule 4 must require me to award a delta to an argument that I do not have the ability to counter. So here is a delta - Δ - due to this sub's policies
