The Two-State Solution Sham, And Other Reader Questions
The answer to the 1st question is exactly how I think about it. It's the inconvenient truth.
Is the two-state solution a solution or a delusion?"
Israeli officials have been telling us themselves that it's a delusion for a while now, and I think we should believe them. Everything about Israel is stacked against allowing the creation of a Palestinian state. And even if the Palestinians do get a meaningful state somehow, what then?
Israel is constantly at war with its neighbors who refuse to obey its dictates. So a Palestinian state would necessarily either be a Israel continuing to bomb and massacre Palestinians just like they're doing now, or B Palestinians obeying the dictates of Tel Aviv and not being meaningfully sovereign.
The truth is that Palestinians will never be free as long as Israel exists as the hypermilitaristic racist settler colonialist state that it is.
The way to have peace and freedom is to give everyone equal rights, grant right of return for displaced Palestinians, write the wrongs of the past, and for Israel and its Western allies to pay so many reparations to Palestinians that the wounds of the past are no longer felt by future generations.
Israelis will never go along with this unless they are forced to. But they won't stop any of their other evils unless they are forced to anyway. The world is going to have to force them to stop, just like it had to force Nazi Germany to stop.
And you can already see the 2-state solution turning into 'obeying the dictates of Tel Aviv' with the conditions being put out up front in partnership with the Israeli sponsored PA.
It feels so unreachable, but the alternative is genocide or complete ethnic cleansing. And then you still have the problem of what next.
Hopefully with sanctions, leading to new elections in Israel, a more moderate government can be formed that ends the genocide and starts dismantling the settler terrorists. The problem is how to convince the Israelis.
