US says 'no way' to solve Israel security, Gaza war without Palestinian state
There is "no way" to solve Israel's long-term security challenges in the region and the short-term challenges of rebuilding Gaza without the establishment of a Palestinian state, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Thursday.
Speaking at a news briefing, Miller said Israel had an opportunity right now as countries in the region were ready to provide security assurances to Israel.
"But there is no way to solve their long-term challenges to provide lasting security and there is no way to solve the short-term challenges of rebuilding Gaza and establishing governance in Gaza and providing security for Gaza without the establishment of a Palestinian state."
The comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a press conference he had told Washington that he objected to any Palestinian statehood that did not guarantee Israel's security.
You're viewing a single thread.
There needs to be one state with equal rights for all. That's the most realistic way forward.
Unfortunately, this is Utopia. Something like believing that Koreas could unite or that Russia and USA will form a single state. It’s just surreal.
Its happened before when East and West Germany unified. It's also happened in South Africa when apartheid was dismantled.
Yes but the hate between those 2 parties was far lower. In germany, western homies even welcomed their eastern colleagues. See how does it look when especially Gazans cross Israeli borders - they shoot everything what moves.
Thats literally the opposite of reality, there will never be one state as the jews wont risk a state in which they are a minority and most of the populus want them eradicated.
Christians live there fine. Jewish people lived there for centuries fine, and during the early days of Zionism they were broadly accepted up until the Revisionist Zionist project really started going for broke. They wouldn't get eradicated anymore than all the white people got eradicated in South Africa after apartheid ended there, even though the minority pissed off the majority.
Wouldn’t Jews be the majority still? Maybe my math is off, and I’m completely and embarrassingly omitting something in the count, but it seems even if you include Gaza, the West Bank, and the Israeli occupied territories Arabs would make up 20% and Jews would make up 75%.
Even if it was 30% Palestinians and 70% Jews. Imagine that you live in a country where roughly every 3rd person wants to kill you.
Thats a racist stereotype. There are millions of Arabs living in Israel and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians worked in Israel. End apartheid and the racist regime and there would be no more reason for conflict.
I wish it was as simple as you think. People in Gaza are from the youngest age taught to kil every single Jew in the world. There are bright exceptions but a considerable amount are radicals. Do you really think that they would suddenly change their approach?
I'm not going to engage with your Hasbara propaganda.
What propaganda are you talking about? I think all of us saw what happened in October and there is a lot of evidence of how education in Gaza works.
But yes, I guess it is popular to assume that Gaza and its leadership are ideal and each time someone dares to criticize it, they are spreading propaganda xD
