  • Nazi Germany is not, but it is still Germany nonetheless. Your proposal is equivalent to the elimination of the concept of Germany in its entirety.

    Basing your solution on a state that last existed in 1516 is an awful approach, and ignores the Israeli people's right to self determination.

    Additionally, the number of people who identify as Israeli significantly outnumbers the number of those who identify as Palestinian, so your one state solution still involves a state in which Palestinians continue to be a minority in a nation where Israelis have political control.

    And you haven't even begin to consider how you'd actually make it happen - are you expecting netanyahu to volunteer to join Palestine, or are you proposing a full fledged invasion of Israel, a regional military superpower?

    Really, this is one of those situations where an idea is so bad, that it's not viable to list all the reasons why it's a bad idea

  • apartheid regime, the land grabs, the ethnic cleansing, the genocide

    All of the above are consequences of Israeli colonialism/imperialism, not a direct consequence of its existence as a state.

    The German example is odd, because not only did Germany not cease to exist, but in fact the exact opposite of what you're proposing was done. That equivalent would be if a victim of Nazi Germany - say, Belgium - annexed Germany in its entirety.

    There isn't a one-state solution that creates an environment where both Palestinian and Israelis can live peacefully, because Israeli citizens are unwilling to live under a Palestinian state, and Palestinians are (of course) unwilling to live under an Israeli state.

  • That's not actually a viable solution though, in the same way as "deleting Germany" wasn't a viable resolution to the second world war.

    Their citizens won't just magically disappear, forcibly displacing them would constitute a war crime, and transferring ownership of the entire region to a Palestinian state is just setting up the dominoes for civil war and extending the instability and suffering in the region.

  • Isis is anti-Shia, considering them infidels, and has a long history of conflict with Iran, especially in Iraq and Syria. Islam isn't some coordinated power system, it's a complex, fractious religion with many internal and external conflicts.

    Russia, too, has been involved in lots of conflict with ISIS, including in Syria and more recently supporting north African countries' conflicts against them as well.

  • I assume the usual complaint, which is that it's the one of the only major servers where tankies are prevalent.

    That's, of course, not to suggest that even a majority of its users are tankies or that there aren't plenty of great communities there, but the users who are tankies seem to be almost entirely split between lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.
