Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza.
They sure as shit are not going to give up any land for each other, so they will have to live in peace with each other.
From a practical perspective, the West bank is now a bunch of islands, and not a contiguous region… the settlers have made it a near impossibility to have a two state solution that isn’t just Butustans
But remember you asked me, a lay person, to solve this intense geo political issue, I’m giving you my best stab at it… its not going to be perfect, but it beats killing each other in cycles and saying there is no other way.
Mate… that’s cramping 17 million Palestinians (who some hate each other as much as they hate Israelis) together with 9 million Israelis in this tiny region that can barely support the existing population, and all that without even solving any of the legal or values parts of this conflict.

Yes. Equality in the eyes of the law, ignorant of religion. If right of return exists it must be for all

I reckon it’ll be an all-v-all bloodbath…
All of them already live there now…
but if your saying right to return is unsustainable, thats something a unified secular government needs to work out amongst themselves
