Sorry, Noah, but that's just not realistic. The adults in the room are talking, and we've decided that only a six state solution is acceptable. A hexagonal coalition of ursine states. In the very center where they all meet will be a hexagonal table where the hexbear council meets.
the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Only six? Are you really thinking about this seriously? 51 States. Imagine it. We will call it New Burgerland and impose McNugget law.
I support a 3 state solution:
- Palestine
- New Palestine
- Democratic People's Republic of Palestine
the Palestinian Union, if you will.
But Noah, why would having three Palestines be better than just one Palestine?
If number go up is good for capitalism, it must be good for international diplomacy.
PALESTINES GO UP
A Palestine for every Palestinian and each a seat on the UNSC!
Ethnic cleansing is off the table
The way that's framed makes it sound like a painstaking weighed decision that pains the liberal making it.
Well does he consider the colonists returning to Europe to be a form of ethnic cleansing?
The idea that it would be on the table is freak-brained and speaks to the Zeitgeist in ways that the author surely didn't intend. The same way you don't have to mention inventing a time machine to go back and kill Hitler probably isn't going to be the main focus, you don't have to mention that ethnic cleansing isn't a good solution.
People get paid to write this shit holy fuck
The main problem is not them lying and being paid to lie, it's that they actually believe this crap. Catching a liar is easier than overturning someone's ideologie.

Even his lapel is balkanized
"I'm putting together a crew."
More like: "I'm taking apart a crew"
Counter proposal - zero state solution
Counter-counter proposal: -1 state solution.
counter-counter-counter proposal: infinite state solution. sovereign citizens rejoice
And so it begins
I like how the subhead reiterates that "ethnic cleansing is off the table" as if it was once a reasonable option to consider.
YOU CANT HAVE A FUCKING CONTIGUOUS STATE OF PALESTINE WITHOUT ETHNICALLY CLEANSING THE SETTLERS.
edit: AND IF YOU'RE FUCKING MIXING UP PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS ANYWAYS THEN DOING ANYTHING BUT A SINGLE STATE IS JUST MAPFUCKER HUBRIS.
Can't you just subject them to Palestinian law same as everyone else?
There are no longer Israeli and it returns to them being Palestinian Jews. The way it was before Israel was invented. A national identity rather than the settler colonial ethno-state they have spent the better part of the last century trying to create.
The settlements are still built as an explicit plan to make a Palestinian state impossible in practical terms, their status as a settler and their entire current lives are a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.
What would the third state even be?
They're not like ice cream, you can't swirl nations!
I assume he means separating Gaza and the West Bank into separate states but that really isn’t the source of the problem
non-contiguous states just don't work
You're gonna need a little more than three then.
If you're gonna end up with a mix of Palestinians and Israeli settles within the same borders anyways, then thats literally just the single state solution.
Any further amount of states beyond that in this scenario is just an act of fetishistic masturbation on the part of these op-ed mapfucker freaks, finally reaching climax with the thought that they didn't miss out on all the fun due to being born after all the big wars.
Fuck it, everyone gets their own state
Matt Yglesias about to propose a one billion state solution
Ask me about my zero-state solution.
Thank goodness ethnic cleansing is off the table. Whew.
Palestine and Palestane
If borders don't work, make it one state! No border, not problem.
One state for Palestine
Pour one state out for the homies we used to know
One state for the fellas
who's the third
Choosing the right third is crucial for the vibe
we're gonna let Costa Rica annex the golan heights
Just keep adding states until you've gone full sovereign citizen.
Isn't there defacto three states? "Israel", Fatah controlled West Bank and Hamas controlled Gaza
How dare he steal Fehlingers bit.
