      So make a choice: Israel or Palestine.

      You say that like the choice hasn’t already been made without the input of the voters.

      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.

        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.

          Palestinians are not genocidal. They don’t want to exterminate Israelis.

          Even if some or most do wish to exterminate, this is arguably understandable. How many bombs would have to fall on you and your family before you were extremely angry? Maybe even, we could say, rationally angry?

      The two-state solution is a boondoggle.

      Better tell that to China, or do you know better than an AES state?

          I think it’s one of those weasel words some leftists use so they can ignore their own hypocrisy while they moralize like the evangelical Christians they were raised as.

            So you don’t know what it means.

            Critical support means supporting AES countries against the capitalist hegemon despite still having criticisms of some of their decisions. I don’t have to think every single decision they make is perfect because I don’t moralize about my politics.

            What you’re talking about is dogmatism, i.e. taking uncritical moral positions and then denouncing any deviation. Mao harshly criticized this in On Contradiction and On Practice.
