U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s defense of a phrase used by Palestinians in connection with the war between Israel and Hamas is drawing condemnation from critics, including two prominent fellow Democrats — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin.

    Two state solution also involves either genocide or pipe dream? There are so many Israel-backed settlers in Palestine.

      Two State solution is a dead joke. The only way forward is a one state solution and Truth and Reconciliation tribunals, similar to SA. Israel needs to return to being Palestine, and needs to be a non secular state.

      Anything else and the genocide of the Palestinians by Israel will continue.

        and needs to be a non secular state.

        This is where you lose me. Religion and government should not mix. No exceptions.

        The day the Palestinians puts down their weapons will be the day peace begins. The day Israel puts down their weapons will be the day all Israelis are massacred. That is the difference between the two sides - coexistence vs “from the river to the sea”. Don’t forget who started this war. Jews were already genocided once, so STFU while we defend ourselves after this latest attempt. Nobody else will protect us, so we’re doing it ourselves.

          “Jews were already genocided once” Right, I forgot that gave them the right to commit one free genocide themselves.

          (/s, in case that wasn’t clear)

          so STFU while we defend ourselves after this latest attempt.

          What Israel is doing right now isn’t “defense” it’s vengeance.

      Why would it be hard for the illegal settlers to be removed? The Israelis managed to do just that in Gaza 15 years ago.
