  • Yes they had no military leverage left and decided to strike a bad deal.

    Palestinians haven’t struck a deal. The second Western support for Israel collapses, the whole Apartheid will collapse. And at that point Israel will have no claim to any of the land. It all belongs to Palestinians.

    Israel can do a 1948 deal right now if it wants to. Even Hamas said they are willing to accept that extremely bad deal. But Israel doesn’t because they are an expansionist genocidal ethnostate believing they can colonize more. So that is their gamble. And by taking that gamble, Israel still has no right to any land at this very moment. And if they ever lose their military advantage before striking a deal with Palestinians, then they lose all the land they colonized with it.

    The natives struck a deal with the US. Palestinians didn’t. South Africa didn’t give the Apartheiders a state. One mistake South Africa made was not completely disowning the colonists. Palestinians don’t have to make that mistake.

    You’re basically advocating for genocide in a different way with a different winner. That’s not a sustainable or realistic outcome.

    Oh no not a “reverse genocide” apologist. You can’t do genocide against colonists. That’s called decolonisation.

    And a genocidal expansionist Apartheid around the corner is realistic? Like keeping Nazi Germany around the corner after 1945. Surely that can’t go wrong. Your idea is much less realistic.

    In the end you or I don’t get to decide what happens to Palestinian land or what’s realistic. Only Palestinians get to decide that. And unless they themselves give up their land voluntarily to Israel in exchange for some peace deal, all of the land still belongs to them. They are still fighting to get it back to this day who are you to tell them “Israel stole their land fair and square”?
