Comment on Israel has gone beyond self-defence in Gaza, Tory MP Alicia Kearns says
hellothere@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoI never said they should go anywhere. Israel not existing simply means Israel, the Jewish state, not existing, not its people being driven off.
Let’s think about this for a second. If one democratic state was created, and a government elected, given population differences alone and presumed voting along established political (ie religious) lines, you’d end up with a Jewish/Israeli government rather than a Muslim/Arab government.
Two independent, internationally recognised, and supported, nations is the only viable option.
Over a very long time powersharing may be an option, but that’s not now, or any time soon.

You'd end up with a government with both groups. It'd be possible to, for example, have a large Arab party in a coalition government with a left-wing Jewish coalition. And also someone like Netanyahu would've never won; because Palestinians would all rally around someone else.
This is especially true in a parliamentary government like Israel; the Knesset would look much different if the Palestinian population suddenly tripled.

There is no way that coalition would work together. I mean just look at the absolute mess the Israeli government coalition currently is.
It’s a complete pipedream, we can’t just wish the situation is different.

Isn't that coalition mostly right wing?

Yeah, exactly.
