I mean good luck posting "isntreal will soon fall" while they bulldoze more Palestinian villages I guess. you're totally going to destroy the zionist entity by some unspecified means.

it's not about "caring where they'll go" because they're not going anywhere. they're the ones with all the guns and money. it's not serious to say you want to do anything about Israeli apartheid if you don't recognize they're not a fragile house of cards, but a successfully militarized juggernaut

it's definitely a real state, and there are no means at your or my disposal to destroy it.
I'd like a US-South African joint occupation to dismantle apartheid and write them a constitution, maybe change the name of the country, but that's not really likely.

I don't really understand what point you're driving at. My point was that of course it's a Potemkin village and it was nice being on a trip with people who would call that out.
Sounded like you felt where I was coming from earlier

"while saying the alternative is utter destruction"
what is this in reference to?

of course the Jewish supremacists call them Palestinian, they want a purely Jewish country. but folks who insist Israel is racially integrated will object to that with "they're Israeli Arabs! they don't identify as Palestinian!"
it's just easier to avoid the silly argument

yeah there are lots of Arab villages in Israel (and I don't even mean including the West Bank and Gaza because they are in reality parts of Israel). this one is called Deir al-Asad. it's one that the Israelis allowed some Arabs to move back into after being displaced in 1948

Arab village?

it's always propaganda but it's better when you have folks pushing back. like when they took us to an Arab village and said "you can ask anything, think about what it means to be an Arab in Israel" and the obvious question is asked, "why are the towns segregated Arab and Jew?"

I did my birthright trip back in 2015 and thankfully my group had a good number of critical folks so it wasn't just the propaganda tour. I'd like to go back if they become a free country

and you thought that one state would look like... Lebanon? famous failed experiment of political segregation? how's that same failed experiment going in Bosnia?
the one state must be a free state, and Israel is going to annex at least the West Bank eventually regardless.

emigrating where? Israelis have nowhere else to go

Lebanon is not an integrated society. Who's proposing "one Jewish president and one Muslim president and one Christian president"? Integration means Israel becomes a free country where parties cross racial lines, like they already do in Israel.
comment in response to

yes, they would be even safer if they dismantle apartheid and integrate their society, even if that means Jews become a minority in the single free state. there are enough Jews there with enough guns that they won't be dislodged, and governments would probably be Arab-Jewish coalitions.

I think Israel has demonstrated that even if it doesn't live in perfect harmony with its neighbors, Jews have the best chance of collective defense there. it's a place Jews won't be run off from, even if it's not a perfect halcyon refuge where nobody ever tries to hurt Jews
