Netanyahu publicly rejects US push for Palestinian state
Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
Definitely even less support now thanks to Hamas. Again, this is nothing new. There hasn't been majority support for a two state solution on either side. Of course a one state solution is out as well (though Palestinians would love that as it means the end of Israel). What's the answer. Don't look at me! I guess it's not OK to say there is no answer but what if that's the actual reality? -

It's delusional to think for one second that Israel would ever accept a one state solution voluntarily. That would mean the end of Israel and anyone who is half way honest fully realizes that. It's funny how many people expect Israel to commit national suicide when they would never ask the same thing of any other country, especially their own. -

Yeah it's amazing. So many people thinking that dealing with the Palestinians is like dealing with Canada. Sure Israel has become tough of nails ... by necessity. They wouldn't have made it this far without adapting to the harsh reality of the culture of their neighbors. -

Of course Biden can beat Trump. Also Trump can beat Biden. I don't believe that Netanyahu thinks that any U.S. president can get him out of jail if Israel decides that, even dictator Trump. -

But you're wrong. Without the cooperation of Israel, there will never be a Palestinian state. Also, keep in mind, there isn't majority support for a two state solution on either side. -

In other words basically never. -

I agree Netanyahu will be forced out but because of October 7 the Israeli right wing is stronger than ever. Neither side wants two states anyway. Nothing new in that. -

Hamas with their Kill All Jews charter is idealism? -
Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 2005. However there are voices in Israel supporting reoccupstion in light of October 7. Hopefully not but the harsh reality is that October 7 has brought Israelis further to the right as to ever trusting Palestinians. That means any hope of a two state solution is even further away.

It's the most democratic and multicultural nation state in the region by far. Perfect democracies are hard to come by kind of like unicorns. Also though it's lost on the River to the Sea brigade but a huge part of the amazing diversity of Israel comes from the diversity of JEWISH PEOPLE in Israel. I'm particularly fascinated by Argentinian Jews.

Telling the BIG LIE that it didn't start on October 7 is a transparent gambit to try to cover up and deny the historical significance of what happened that date. It's a sort of modern twist on holocaust denial. It's a way of relieving Hamas of their culpability in what's happened since in Gaza. Of course the CONFLICT is long standing. But THIS WAR did indeed start October 7.

American Passport Renewal Process

Does anyone know if that was a one off or will they now be doing that annually or biannually? -
Argentina’s Javier Milei praises free markets, slams socialism at Davos
Jingthing replied to Amethyst's topic in World News
There is such as thing as a rational balance. Brits love their National Health. Americans envy it. Decent countries are a mix of capitalism and socialism. Milei although I'm sympathetic to why Argentina went with him is a radical extremism. It's hard to imagine his plans working without horrific consequences although doing nothing was already baseline horrible -- so some really bad choices there.
