What are the borders of the proposed Palestinian state?
“From the River to the Sea”?

Who are you asking? If you’re asking me, I’d say the 1947 partition plan. Or at least the West Bank borders from 1967 with the Gaza Strip + extended border with Egypt from the 1947 plan.
I mean, the ideal would be for a peaceful one state solution where neither side is privileged. Maybe even, at least temporarily, a Northern Ireland–style situation where any government is required to have representation of both groups. Because religious ethnostates fucking suck. But Israel has made it painfully clear that they have zero interest in that; they really quite like their apartheid.

I am not asking for opinions. I am asking what were Greens proposing?
I recall that when Labor first rejected the call for peace talks and Greens walked out of Parliament. The document Greens were expecting Labor to sign contained no acknowledgement that the October 7 massacre even happened (let alone condemning it).
A few weeks later the document was amended and Labor signed on.

The movement was only to recognise Palestinian statehood, not to define its borders.

Well then why hasn’t she actually recognised Palestine, like 146 out of 193 other countries already have?

You still haven’t told me what the borders of that Palestine are.
