A new mass grave has been discovered at al-Shifa Hospital where a two-week siege by the Israeli army has turned the facility into a graveyard and put what was once Gaza’s largest medical complex out of service.

      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.

        Deleting Nazi Germany was absolutely a viable solution. Israel as a state not existing doesn’t mean the citizens go away, it means that as an institution it doesn’t exist, which means getting rid of the apartheid regime, the land grabs, the ethnic cleansing, the genocide, etc.

        The country should not be based on a racial or ethnic identity, it should be a more fair system accounting for the diversity that is there, like it was back when it was known as Palestine.

          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 because we saw what happened to all the Jews living in other middle eastern countries. Hint: all expelled or killed

            and Palestinians are (of course) unwilling to live under an Israeli state.

            Plenty do. You just only hear about the ones causing terror or violence.
