Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shares his message to voters in the Uncommitted Movement who are considering not voting in the presidential race over the Biden administration's handling of Israel.
I’m not who you replied to but I like the idea of a single new country for both Palestinians and Israelis. I think this would avoid the ethnostate issue.
Ultimately I think the only way forward is to aim for peaceful coexistence between the two groups.
Great idea! Maybe we could look to history to find the last time that Jews and Muslims lived peacefully together in a single state, and name the new country whatever that is.
Hmmm… Looks like in the 1900s there was a country called Palestine where Muslims and Jews live equally. Let’s get rid of Israel and Palestine, and replace them both with Palestine.
Isn’t the issue of a single country that the Palestinian population is much higher than the Israeli population, so if there were a single democracy, it would mean that Palestinians would basically be fully in charge?
I think this is why a federated or two state solution is often suggested. Both parties need at least some level of autonomy.

Should we segregate America just because some minorities are outnumbered?
Israel has made it clear that it wants to exterminate Palestinians, and is literally in the process of doing so right now.
Palestinians are not genocidal. They don’t want to exterminate Israelis. They just want to be able to go home and stop being killed and starved and tortured.
Israelis can assimilate into Palestine and stop trying to make a Jewish ethnostate. Palestine can be one multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-religious democracy.
The same thing that happened to them for the last 3000 years, they live in peace continuously ignoring grander geopolitics and instead focusing on living good lives.
This would simply require the unrelated European Zionists to go back to where they came from. That’s all Palestinians and native Jews have been asking for for the last 80 years, for the invaders to go back home.
What should happen to Palestinians if Israel is chosen? What should happen to Israelis if Palestine is chosen?
I by say we find land for each of them someplace in the US, build infrastructure and housing, evacuate Jerusalem and bulldoze it.

No, Gaza+ west bank are a little smaller than Israel in terms of population
