You think it’s reasonable to expect a population of people who have been oppressed, displaced, and murdered by foreign colonizers for decades to happily be neighbors with them all of a sudden? And on top of that, you think that’s ethical?

Some random building used for parties that one person pays for regularly so everyone else can stand in social circles and talk about random topics because they have nothing better to do.

For those of you wanting to get into falconry and worry about this happening to you. Don’t worry. It’s a very rare occurrence, happening perhaps once per millenium.

Don’t dodge my question.

In what way is a two-state solution ethical and for whom exactly?

Really?? The Vice President of the United States, second only to the President, has no control over policies being made in the United States? She doesn’t have a podium to address her citizens and her fellow politicians to speak her mind and influence public opinion? She doesn’t preside over the senate to cast tie-breaking votes so that she can help sway decisions? She doesn’t have the ability to make a campaign promise, as the Democratic candidate for President, to stop arming Israel while they slaughter innocents?

No, she has a lot of power to help influence decisions. She’s just scared to because of that sweet sweet AIPAC money.

Ethical for whom?

Why should it be at the cost of someone else’s homeland?

If Israel gets a sane, non-racist government

If Israel was run by a sane, non-racist government we would never have had Israel to begin with. People would have recognized how immoral the whole founding of the country is and stopped right then and there.

Zionism doesn’t encompass all Jews. The anti-Israel Jews aren’t necessarily anti-Israel because of the current war or the historical mistreatment and oppression of Palestinians (which are VERY good reasons to dislike Israel as well). They’re anti-Israel because they recognize that Zionism is nothing more than a nationalistic ideal with little to no basis on their faith. The person in this article says as much herself:

As a Jewish American artist working in a time-based medium, I must note, I’m accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and 76th year of occupation

It’s not just the war she disagrees with. It’s the existence and justification of Israel as well.

Are you trying to justify America arming and funding a colonial state intent on wiping out the entire native population in addition to the routine execution and murder of international aid workers and journalists by saying “Well wouldn’t America do the same thing?”

And what actions has she taken to make us believe she actually means to protect Palestinians? Don’t give me quotes, give me actions.

I don’t think I can add to what people have already so I’ll just say that I sincerely hope you overcome this phase and get into better times. I know the feeling and it really sucks. Hang in there and remember to be kind to yourself.

It’s very telling how many Jews internationally are passionately anti-Israel. Kudos to them.

Biden has been saying that for the duration of the war. And everyday there’s a new war crime and all he does is repeat the same practiced sentences with no actions to back them up. Harris has given 0 indication that she would be any different. There comes a point where their words are meaningless on this topic and we are long past it.

I would agree with that statement if over 40,000 confirmed deaths of civilians in 8 months wasn’t what was happening.

Human rights are only important when politically convenient.

Words are empty if not backed up by actions.

The point of my original comment was on how bad compromise is in these scenarios. We got to this point where we are arguing for basic human decency with complete sociopaths. When I read your post all I could think of is “this is literally asking us to choose which demographic we should screw over for the sake of appeasement and compromise”.

I know I’m coming off really bitter, and none of it is targeted towards you. I’m just really tired of this all.

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with you. I don’t know what OP was thinking when making this post and listing those points.

How the hell did we even get into a situation where this is what we are choosing between? Or rather, a situation where roughly half our country actually thinks this is a choice and not just blatantly obvious based on basic morality.

Easy, we compromised :). We said ok we’ll meet you halfway on things that are absolutely crucial to humans rights for the sake of progress. Over the decades the right got more and more extreme as we continued compromising. It’s not just in the US. I see it here in Canada as well. I really hate it.

Aren’t wedge issues for stuff that are divisive for a group of people who usually agree on most things? Something like the effective tax rates for billionaires among democrats.
