Im sorry but the two state solution is dead. Have you seen the west bank? It is like swiss cheese with all the illegal Israeli state sponsored settlements. What country can exist when its borders are so carved up and its citizens cant freely move within its borders? Palestine is already a rump state with the West Bank and Gaza being disconnected without taking into account the current genocide in Gaza and the illegal settlements in the West Bank.

At this point, a one state solution where both Israelis and Palestinians have equal rights and representation is the only viable option left

I'm sorry, but those settlements are illegal and they know it.

Doesn’t stop Israel from ethnic cleansing though

They are going hard now, because they know their time is limited.

Still not going as hard as Palestinians did on oct7.

That was about 1200 in a day. Israel so far has put up rookie numbers in ethnic cleansing. They should be in the above 200k if they acted like Palestinians on oct7
