@HardcoreHistory @AntiFashAK Israel (the vastly more powerful and consequential actor here) moves into the 21st century and stops trying to have a religious/ethno state (something we decided was bad a long time ago) and moves to 1 state with plurality and equal rights for all.

@HardcoreHistory @AntiFashAK We don’t accept that logic anywhere else (conservative freaks outs about ‘majority minority’ etc) nor say “ok go off and occupy and control areas with concentrations of different ethnic backgrounds” We shouldn’t accept it here either.
