70% of settlers live very close to Israel propper. If we can make a deal to swap land then I would take it. Enough with the war, our kids should not have to live like this. Look we can't have full justice, we should try to create a state and build and economy knowing that it is not fully just. But attitudes about trying to kill all jews and destroying Israel are as harmfull to us as the settlers.
@ahmed337799 That is not realistic if you want lasting peace. but long live the Palestininan state. And may there be a peace treaty where there are 2 states so that the palestinians can get their own country.
Actually the two state solution is unrealistic. Israelis are living in a bubble, and the only way to burst it is by inflicting a heavy toll on their economy and lifestyle through a long lasting war.
In which case most of the Jews who are carrying dual passports anyway will go back to where they came from and Israel can be dismantled.
As a Pal/Isr activist, who at times feels very hopeless, hearing Finkelstein and Rabbani this morning has given me renewed optimism to fight on. This evening the local group in Central New York committed to educating the public in pursuit of justice in Palestine/Israel is meeting, and I'll be bringing my notes from this lecture along. Thanks to Finkelstein for his pure heart and morality and his relentless work for what is "fair and reasonable", and also to Rabbani for his insight.
This could turn out to be a very strong and compelling partnership between Rabbani and Finkelstein. I hope that together they get an honest and attentive hearing from all people who are invested and involved, in big or small ways, in the struggle for Palestinian rights and a just resolution of this conflict.(3)
Finkelstein needs to focus more sharply on the shrewd political insights of Gandhi about mobilizing public opinion for resolving the conflict and much less time indulging his personal fascination with the "Mahatma," the 1000 page volumes of his autobiography that he pored over, the ashram, the ban on underwear yadda yadda yadda. Perhaps amusing to some, but it can also get people side-tracked. NOT on Palestinian time, please! (2)
Imho, Mouin Rabbani is excelllent! He is indeed the most ASTUTE and SENSIBLE commentator on I-P conflict today and he deserves to be heard more widely. Anyone who is interested in a just resolution of the conflict needs to at least carefully and honestly consider the strategy being proposed by the two speakers. (1)

I support the 2 state solution, but I believe it won't work, Israel will only comply if it's dealt a huge military blow.
There will be war
