only issue i have with that is i do not know how a 1 state solution that removes israel's government and allows for Truth and Reconciliation commissions and poo poo can happen any time soon. So in the meantime is a 2 state better than just a ceasefire?

2 state is demonstrably worse than a ceasefire.

the 2-state solution as proposed by the US and by Israeli 'progressives' is just a reservation, even in the absolute rosiest most optimistic scenario where the settlements stop and Israel lifts the blockade it would still have no more meaningful sovereignty or autonomy than my tribal government does

for a more modern example you can look at apartheid South Africa's attempt to emulate the American reservation model with their 'bantustans', which South Africa insisted were separate sovereign and independent countries, and see how well that worked out

reservations in the US are at least usually territorially contiguous, though - even if they decided to completely lock down the borders of Pine Ridge or Standing Rock you could still travel from one end of the rez to the other

2 state solution is the “humanitarian pause” of options because we all know it would jus the another bantustan.

the palestinians will get to enjoy a new type of unbelievably petty band politics, which should be entertaining for a little while.

I feel like formally recognizing palestine while continuing to support israel's current form and policies and government, is less of a positive step toward real palestinian liberation and more like legitimizing what is effectively a palestinian bantustan

An old man in South Africa broke down crying to one of my friends, explaining that the domestic worker who cleaned his childhood home was kidnapped from a Bantustan. His parents paid people from one Bantustan to go raid a "rival" Bantustan and bring back a young girl.

I imagine this is what Zionists want.

Hamas sources: Haniyeh willing to accept hostage deal if guarantees for permanent cease-fire are provided

Hamas will go along with a hostage deal if guarantees for an extended cease-fire are provided, say Hamas political sources who spoke to Haaretz.

According to the sources, the head of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, is inclined to approve the outline of the hostage deal if the intermediaries provide guarantees for a comprehensive ceasefire in the final stage.

The sources added that Hamas would be willing to advance the mentioned outline even if it is not accompanied by an immediate declaration of a complete and immediate ceasefire.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,

oF ME GETTING HURT,


While a Palestinian state recognized and set up by liberal zionists would probably be just a bantustan, I think we've seen that even the fig leaves used to legitimize apartheid are too outrageous for the right wing who represent the actual bloodthirsty Israeli public. They want full sugar genocide, none of this diet neo-colonialism.

It's kind of like the ICJ report where the more canny zionists know they could just bullshit it by saying "well of course we agree genocide is bad and we're working to prevent it". Even that insincere answer though acknowledges the idea that the ICJ merits a response, so instead the ministers hold a dance party at a settler convention.

A lot of what the IDF is doing right now is "studying for the test." They're making a lot of performative gestures meant to prove that they're meeting their provisional obligations. Like, you can't blame Israel for not sending aid through Karem Shalom; it was protesters who stopped them.

US says it raised Gaza buffer zone issue with Israel

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller tells reporters that Washington opposes any reduction in the size of Gaza territory.

In recent days, there have been reports of Israeli forces demolishing a number of buildings around the perimeter of Gaza’s border with Israel, and Israeli media reported that officials plan to create an informal buffer zone about a kilometre (half a mile) wide to prevent potential future attackers from reaching Israeli communities near Gaza.

Asked about the destruction of a university in Gaza, Miller said that the United States had raised the issue of demolition of sites and Israel reported they were conducted only when they were sites from which terrorist activities were launched, plotted or planned.

I know that the U.S. is just trying to provide cover for the Gaza Genocide, but still... god drat America.

Israeli media is reporting that the demolitions are to provide a buffer zone, based on what they've been told from Israeli officials, but the State Department is positive that that's not right. Like, gently caress, they can't even do a good job of lying, they're just spitting in our faces and saying it's raining

"Hamas - A Document of General Principles and Policies posted:


20. Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. However, without compromising its rejection of the Zionist entity and without relinquishing any Palestinian rights, Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967, with the return of the refugees and the displaced to their homes from which they were expelled, to be a formula of national consensus.

If Palestine can get a UN seat it will be game changing. It opens up a bunch of legal avenues. Of course this is why the fascist United States of America will never allow it.
