Meeting in Paris with Jordan's King Abdullah II, the French president warned that an Israeli offensive in Rafah would be a new grave violation of international law.'
People did propose organizing a colored state in apartheid South Africa. More specifically, a white-colored state, which I suppose would inherently make the rest of South Africa the colored state.
There are still white South Africans practicing segregation, with a two-state solution as their goal.
I would have much preferred a one-state solution in Israel with equal rights granted to every Palestinian, but with the way the conflict has developed at this point, I don’t think Israelis can peacefully coexist with Palestinians, the former of which have shown they cannot stop oppressing people and the latter of which are understandably out for vengeance.
I would say probably. Not that the average Israeli actively demands the deaths of Palestinians, but that I don’t see a scenario anymore where the majority of Israelis would be willing to acknowledge the Palestinians as equals.
And I take it you speak as a person living in both communities with deep ties to both, and not as a random American that couldn’t place Gaza on the map a year ago?
I lived in Haifa for two years. I can speak more than 99% of Lemmy on this topic. But you don’t need to live there to know that the PLO has put a Fatwa on every Jew killed. The stance of Palestinians on this is all public knowledge. It’s not like it’s some big secret.

So basically you’re saying Israelis are too racist to live in peace with Palestinians?

The reality is both communities feel the same about each other.

Yes. They are. Anyone who’s ever been to Israel will be able to confirm this.
It would be so interesting to know what would have happened if south africa got divided like that.
