The settlements and lack of civil rights for Palestinians turned this American Jew against Israel.

I can鈥檛 support an apartheid state any longer.
Agreed. I have nothing against the Jewish people and they deserve to have a homeland but so do the the Palestinians. But so many people can't distinguish between the Jewish people and the state. They think to be against the government is to be against the people馃檮 But then I'm american and many people here think that criticizing the government makes you against the american people.

The real issue is North American imposed dominance of Israeli politics. This was not the case pre-Netanyahu.

A few days ago, the Tel Aviv City Hall did this:


And Bibi Jr. called it a crime.

The two-state solution is dead. There's no way to create a viable Palestinian state at this point. I like President Rivlin's idea of a federation of self-governing cantons, similar to what Switzerland has. Unfortunately, no one has any idea what to do with Gaza, including the Palestinian Authority.

@Northwest How would West Bank and Gaza be a single state? You鈥檇 need a bridge or tunnel to connect them, and that assumes Hamas and the PA could work together. Also, the problem isn鈥檛 just Netanyahu, it鈥檚 also Hamas that is committed to a Judenrein Middle East. Their charter calls for the death of every Jew in the world. They need to give that up and negotiate in good faith.

@LeopoldBloom It's a flat 30 mile run, the roads already exist. The problem is that the West Bank residents don't really want anything to do with Hamas. This is why I said it's more like three Cantons.

@Northwest That is Rivlin's proposal. There's no reason to force West Bank and Gaza to have a unified government. They never did in the past; in fact, until 1967 they were part of two separate countries, Jordan and Egypt.

Honestly,I don鈥檛 like israeli jews . Not because of their religion but because they鈥檙e discriminating against everyone basically. Like they鈥檙e some holy beings and everyone else is below them. I have seen this a hundred times

Wanting Israel to do the right thing, does not mean one is against Israel, but that's pretty much like when Trump or one of his supporters, accuse someone of being anti-America.
