    This is my proposal to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it, but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.

      How about we abolish the idea of ethnostates at all and a policy of reparation amd reform is put into place as an actually democratic state is created. And Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, and Netanyahu are schekht. They aren’t kosher regardless of ritual, but maybe it’ll purify them at least a little bit.

        Ethnostates should not exist, but countries want to maintain a cultural identity. That’s the reason large influxes of migrants are causing resentment in Europe.

      Are you aware that Bedouin exist? That an area not being solid fields and cities on a map doesn’t mean people can just be resettled there without consequences? How Palestinians feel about Egypt, by and large?

        There are Bedouins in the Sinai but not many. Israel can employ them. Do Palestinians prefer to be ruled by Egypt or Israel?

      Ah yes, more ethnic cleansing because “hey, they’re all Arab anyways”. Some of the most racist shit I’ve seen today.

        What? Under my proposal Palestinians would have a homeland although under Egyptian control.

          A homeland under someone else’s control isn’t a homeland.

            Yes, it is. A place that is rented is a home. Palestine could be a state within Egypt.

        Egypt isn’t returning anything. It will be exchanging land in the Sinai for the West Bank and land equivalent to Gaza.

          The west bank is palestinians, rgypt has no right to get it. Israel is illegally colonizing and occupying other people land, they have to return it all. Israel want to get it all with their grester Israel project.

            Under my proposal Egypt is getting the West Bank in exchange for giving Israel a portion of the Sinai. How do you plan to get Israel to return it all?

        If Israel takes over Palestinian land, they’re going somewhere. My proposal would give them a homeland under Egyptian control.

            They would return to Israel, but how do you plan to get Israelis to leave? Under my plan, Israel would get land in the Sinai.

              I’m sorry, but your plan is just letting Israeli perform another Nakba, and that’s horrible. If that’s the level of planning you’re coming up with, we might as well just have the whole world militarily force Israelis out of the area. Making Palestinians lose more of their land is the last thing we want.
