Well lets think about this step by step
For one, I don't know how this is a "low-level occupation" I think a more correct characterization is that it is a brutal occupation. If they Palestinians are in fact a self governed nation, why do they not have any sovereignty, land rights, borders, or military? They absolutely cannot resist their Israeli overlords in any case, and their self defense force is only allowed to respond after Israeli soldiers have left. So even if they continued the status quo and the Palestinians got a "state", it would still be wholly dominated by Israel with Israeli's having freedom of movement through Palestine and Palestinians not having freedom to move through Israel. It would still have IDF presence within its borders and IDF checkpoints.Palestinians would not control their water supply. They would still not have control over their own borders and they would be unable to repatriate their expelled civilians.
So even under international law, if the Palestinians had a state, it would still be occupied by Israel in perpetuity, therefore further facilitating conflict. The parameters I am using for this Palestinian state are the offers made by Israel in the peace process, which is why the Palestinians had to reject it. After the Camp David Accords, a top Israeli negotiator said that if he were Arafat, he wouldn't take that deal either, and Camp David is widely regarded as the best deal ever offered to the Palestinians
There are
a lot of inaccuracies and misconceptions here. Israelis
do not have freedom of movement in Gaza, or Areas A and B of the West Bank. In fact, some Israelis were shot dead a few weeks ago by PA police for entering Palestinian territory, and Israel did not retaliate. They have to confer with the PA if they want to enter. Israelis also have to pass Israeli checkpoints to get into Areas C of the West Bank.
Like I said, low-level occupation. Palestinians have to cross through checkpoints only when crossing over into Israeli jurisdiction of the West Bank. Palestinians have their own legal system. Their own police force. No military, but plenty of well-organized "militants." The line between an army and Hamas gets more and more blurry as time goes by.
The Palestinians by the way, have no interest in repatriating their "expelled" civilians (mostly people who were born elsewhere). Fatah even said that under a peace deal, he would continue maintaining the refugee camps in the Palestinian territories (mindblown at "refugees" who are still inside their own purported homeland).
It would maintain the Jewish only highways
Jewish only highways are commonly reported in your circles, but they do not exist. There are highways for Israeli citizens only. They are not "Jewish only" highways. 1.4 million Arabs have access to those highways.
.What kind of state is a state that is non contiguous and carved up by private access highways and settlements? The international community would obviously not be fooled by such a farce and recognize that obviously this is a continuation of the occupation and so many prominent Israeli right wingers have abandoned this idea, including Bibi.
Israel has already demonstrated it is willing to dismantle settlements for peace (Sinai, Gaza). Deals offered to the Palestinans included over 90% of the West Bank. Within the 90% all Israel would need would be airspace, for obvious security reasons.
as far as your take on a solution, I feel that any emphasis on the culture of Palestinians is pretty thin at this point. I mean the Palestinians in the West Bank constitute the majority and haven't taken up arms against Israel in over a decade.
There have been plenty of incidences. However, do you really think that their lack of attacks has nothing to do with the checkpoints and security measures Israel takes? Either way, glorification of terrorism is a huge part of their culture.
Any type of solution that entails an ideological reshaping of the people seems to be moving the goal posts ad infintium. Your solution is literally that Palestinians should somehow be brainwashed from their current mind state to a new mind state, regardless of what that mind state is this seems to be completely unattainable and sets no time frame for something that feasibly could take a hundred years.
Which is why I said peace is not possible. Palestinian attacks will continue with or without a peace deal.
On the converse, Israel was formed by terrorist groups like Irgun, of which some early Prime Ministers came and has now become Likud (by all accounts). Irgun wanted to create a Jewish State with the biblical borders that included Jordan, parts of Lebanon, and parts of Syria. And of course they committed terrorist acts against innocent people, just like Hamas. So this idea that Hamas are unreasonable maniac's due to their medieval religion is in my view not grounded in reality. Even their demands for a ceasefire we're not unreasonable although you can argue they were untenable given the situation.
I am not talking about the culture at large being problematic. This is more of a problem than a militant group here and there.
The fact of the matter is, you may not understand it now, but I am more in favor of Israel than you are. You don't seem to like Israel but may sadly be partial to Jewish supremacy, which is not unfortunately for you what Israel is supposed to be. The further Israel deviates away from it's own laws, courts, international law, etc is the closer Israel gets to becoming a whole new entity very different than the one imagined by it's founders. The IDF will never be defeated in the battlefield but as it's appetite becomes more voracious it is defeating itself.
Out of your whole post, I would say this is the biggest nonsense. Its just empty cliche rhetoric. Here, watch:
The fact of the matter is, you may not understand it now, but I am more in favor of Palestine than you are. You don't seem to like Palestine but may sadly be partial to Islamic supremacy, which is not unfortunately for you what is best for Palestine. The further Palestine deviates away from acceptable global norms, international law, etc is the farther it gets from becoming a new state the Palestinians desperately need. Palestine will never be defeated in the international scene but as it's appetite becomes more voracious it is defeating itself.
are these chicks real life barbies? up there going hard for the killing of the innocent. now do i understand the logic behind "dont let some terrorist hide behind civilians. yes. but when you have the kind of capabilities that israel does and the minimal life loss and injury(not counting troops. you have to ask yourself, whats the point in blowing up an entire school more or less? are you really playing wack-a-mole with an atom bomb? whats the end game with that mentality?
