Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a “buffer zone” between the rival groups.
Find me one rational argument about Israel and/or Palestine. Any one, from anywhere, at any time in history.
Genocide is wrong and Hamas is wrong.
This is the argument nearly everyone has been making forever.
A two-state solution is the only way the situation should end, and that should include the removal of Netanyahu and an end to Isreal’s encroachment on Palestinian land. The people of the area have been failed by their governments.
Ok fine, this is a rational argument, although present company excepted I don’t really find other people arguing both at the same time.
But this is where the mainstream views lose me and seem to grasp at something that everyone should be able to see is just not gonna work. You have the gaza strip on one side, the west bank on the other, and Israel in between. How can this be two countries? Is there any other country that’s in 2 separate land masses with its adversary in the middle?
As I understand it, Israel would have to cede land to Palestine so that each can have a continuous land mass. That land was taken to from Israel in the first place, so it’s not unreasonable for some of it to be taken back.
But of course Israel the government is not fond of that at all.
