    Two things can be true.

    The media have done a terrible job covering the genocide, and the motion supporting only a single state is utterly batshit insane.

      If you think it’s a good idea to support the existence of a genocidal ethnostate called Israel in any capacity then the only thing true is the media failing to educate you.

        There is a world of difference between condemning the actions of a far right government, and advocating for the deconstruction of a nation state as if that was an achievable outcome in 2026.

        As with a United Ireland, while a peaceful multifaith unification is absolutely the most desirable end state, pretending this is achievable while people on both sides of the border don’t want “them” to part of “us” is at best a display of profound ignorance.

        There have been generations of people born within what is now called Israel and Palestine since 1947, suggesting either “don’t belong” will not bring a lasting peace.

        We must aim for better than total dominance by one, achieved through the removal of the other, no matter which way around.

        The solution to a genocide is not another genocide.

          Who is calling for another genocide? Where is that ever mentioned or hour could you possibly reach that conclusion?

            Forced assumilation is recognised as one of the five acts of genocide.

            The creation of a single state via anything other than a peaceful and democratic union and merger of two states is genocide. It doesn’t matter if it’s Israel or Palestine.

            Given we don’t have a time machine, any viable solution must acknowledge that generations of people have been born in those lands, and as humans they have the same fundamental rights.

          LOL changing a country’s governance isn’t genocide.
