““As a Jewish American artist working in a time-based medium, I must note, I’m accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and 76th year of occupation,” said U.S. director Sarah Friedland as she accepted the Luigi de Laurentiis prize for best first film for Familiar Touch.”

      Quite simply, the hope is that it ends up being more ethnical for the Palestinians living in the West Bank - who currently are subject to Israel control - to be fully in control of their own territory.

      read the history of how Palestine was formed, people have been treating each other like shit forever. The future can be better… hopefully idk

        Don’t dodge my question.

        In what way is a two-state solution ethical and for whom exactly?

          lol I didn’t dodge anything, I am saying that given the historical context of how we’ve arrived at this conflict, there’s really one reasonable option

            You think it’s reasonable to expect a population of people who have been oppressed, displaced, and murdered by foreign colonizers for decades to happily be neighbors with them all of a sudden? And on top of that, you think that’s ethical?

              And on top of that, you think that’s ethical?

              I’d say that the ethical part comes in more on the side of “hey at least they got a govt of their own now, and are running their own country instead of being forced into part of someone else’s” as we see (for example) in the upper two countries of North America.

              You think it’s reasonable to expect a population of people who have been oppressed, displaced, and murdered by foreign colonizers for decades to happily be neighbors with them all of a sudden?

              No. I’d consider giving these folks land and territory that they can form into their own country as a required first step in a very long process.

              I’m curious though - if not a two state solution, then what is your preferred or recommended solution to resolve things here?
