A one-state solution with a robust diplomatic and internal affairs structure to support claims of hostility and bigotry, run by a nonpartisan and multiethnic Arab-Israeli human rights coalition. Dismantle the Gaza wall and blockade, and integrate Hamas as a political party (if the Likud are fine, then the Knesset has no god damn excuse.) Maintain a UN-managed board of human rights as counsel and a referee in matters concerning integration. Review the arrest of every political prisoner in Israel, and release nonviolent offenders. Extend a formal apology to conscientious objectors. Revoke the mandatory IDF draft policy and switch to volunteer primacy. Take every step and every measure to ensure that Palestinians ARE, IN EVERY WAY, equal in a state that is no longer an ethnocracy. REBUILD GAZA, with Gazans in charge, starting with homes and hospitals.

Furthermore, extend right of return to Palestinians, irrevocably and in perpetuity.

Depends. How much are we bending reality to make the question work? I'm going to need the resources of a superpower at absolute minimum. If I can change geography it obviously gets really easy, they're both on separate islands now.

automated turrets run by the UN general assembly (not the security council) to enforce the boundaries Israel agreed to before the nakba. If Israel wants to use bribery, fne, but they should be made to buy off half the world, not just the US.

We have tried a two state solution for more than half a century, it doesn't seem to work.

What about a single state solution, lead by a government representing both jews and muslims?

As you may realize, I am not a diplomat nor a politician, I am just an IT guy who don't know shit.

Whenever a country is surrounded by enemies, they have only two choices, conquer them, or be conquered. There are no other alternatives, maybe delays to the eventual outcome, it has to go one way or the other. Everything else is just delaying the ending.

By that logic there would never be a border between a weak and strong country. So reality itself disproves your idea.

March the UN in and take control of both sides. Extinguish both governments. Set up a deadline of 4 years to hold a single state election and state constitution. If not completed then they have to try again every four years.

Massive rebuilding projects funded by the UN but paying locals for the labor.

Establish modern healthcare for all.

Establish required education for all that requires 1 year abroad.

Remove all physical barriers.

Religious violence carries extra penalties.

Basically give them everything they need to figure it out and a common goal of seeking independence from the UN.

My solution is to break out the popcorn, sit back and watch the comments fly.

[–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth -4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

all countries should drop support for both sides and condemn them both for their extremist actions. neither side is in the right here and the only solution (without pulling a Vietnam and Korea) is to stop enabling them
