Honest question: what is your ideas for a solution in Palestine/Israel

First off, I’m truly asking this in good faith, please be nice but correct me too on anything I saw that’s stupid.

As an anarchism, my ideal solution for Palestine is a no-state solution where people are allowed to move freely, interact freely, and work being done on both sides to heal from the decades of conflict and live in one society.

Now you folks (I love you folks) aren’t all anarchists and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Sometimes I’ll see people saying that all Israelis should just move somewhere else, but I think that’s really dumb. Both sides seem to be operating on the assumption that the other group will leave, which in my opinion is just as racist thinking as saying all the Palestinians should just leave.

So what are the tankie’s (/j) thoughts.

  • I'm a pusher-backer against the "two-state solution is suddenly bad" thing

    • I've believed that a single-state is the only viable solution for a while now, so I'm curious what you mean by this. Are there issues with a one-state outcome that you feel are absent from or more tractable in a two-state outcome? Or do you think that a two-state outcome is just more readily possible and that the problems inherent to it can be overcome? I guess where I come down on it is that a two-state outcome doesn't necessarily or readily address the problem of continued Israeli antipathy and colonial activity. While a one-state outcome wouldn't necessarily address this, I do think it more readily can, provided that the circumstances of its formation give power to the Palestinian population and disempower Zionists. Not to oversimplify or to say that any of this will be easy to achieve or will be particularly graceful even under ideal circumstances.

      • Just throwing this in here but honestly the one state solution is just folks (including myself) moving the goal posts in response to the destruction of the two state solution by decades of Israeli policy.

        It's not remotely close to ideal, but it's one of the last options that are even remotely viable (lol)

      • Not the user you asked, but I just just don't see a single state solution being viable given how much support Israel gets from the USA and it's allies, and given the amount of polarisation between Israel and Palestine. So yeah I think a two state outcome is more readily possible.

        • How is a two state solution more possible when Israel has spent its existence actively opposed to and working against the concept?

          There’s a tendency to assume that Israel’s existence makes the 2 state easier, rather than harder
