Ive never heard anyone argue the land area is only big enough for one. That kinda makes no sense as it already contains Israelis and Palestinians? Its just that the Palestinians arent recognised? |
That’s because hardly anyone ever talks about it. Look at the proposal for a two state solution that so many people play blind lip service to. The pre- 67 borders that separate the two leave the Palestinians with a mishmash of land not properly connected and not really functional. And the Israeli side with a state that is strategically massively vulnerable from attack from the West Bank. How does that satisfy either side? That’s before you try to justify the 78-22% split between two people of roughly equal demographics.
I have enormous empathy for both sides, but that makes it even harder to envisage a viable resolution. [Post edited 26 Sep 2024 11:00]

It's not a tangent, you're just not capable of seeing a bigger picture. You can't judge Iran by the rockets it personally fires in retaliation when it goes against their strategy which is to provide weapons to and train groups like Hamas and Hezbollah to do it for them, in some cases (Hezbollah) from their very inception.

Iran are not the only state to support Hamas.

I can well understand how people get turned off from being willing to think about species history-defining things like Climate Change; I'm so sick of Israel's bullsh!t and the US, UK and others' pathetic non-intervention, that I can't really bear to think about it any more. What a load of sh!t. |
Saw this article some months ago and meant to post then ...

Latest statement from Netanyahu's office:
'The news about a ceasefire - not true. This is an American-French proposal, to which the prime minister did not even respond. The news about the supposed directive to moderate the fighting in the north is also the opposite of the truth.'
The contempt with which this hideous regime is able to treat even the US (taking advantage of the run up to the US election, of course) highlights the pathetic and corrupt nature of international politics. It's noticeable how even the BBC's journalists are having increasingly to bite back their opinions. |  |

The statement also went on to say:
"The prime minister instructed the IDF to continue the fighting with full force, and according to the plans presented to him. Also, the fighting in Gaza will continue until all the goals of the war are achieved."
Again, no one is suggesting Israel shouldn't defend itself, but the current regime are just out of control. The 7/10 attacks were abhorent and the BBC ran a harrowing piece on this last night, but my disdain for the current regime is growing and I don't like how it is making me feel about the state of Israel. |  |

They could ill afford another attempt, both politically and economically. The regime uses hatred of Israel to galvanise domestic support, so further failed attacks wouldn’t play out well. The Western intervention, as well as neighbouring states such as Jordan unhappy at having hypersonic missiles in their airspace meant another attempt was futile. The country is also in the midst of an economic crisis, and following the failed attack the Iranian Rial fell to an all time low.
It’s much more convenient to let their proxies do the heavy lifting, and whilst their control of Hezbollah is limited, they have also used groups in Syria and Yemen. Iran know that with nearly 100k irainian missiles at hand they (Hezbollah) are a threat to Isreal. It’s estimated that just 10pc of Hezbollah’s stockpile would be enough to overwhelm the Iron Dome.
I’ve already discussed Israel’s actions above. |
A bit more about why Iran have continued to let their proxies and allies fight on their behalf, rather than direct intervention-
“…gave Mr Nasrallah every reason to expect that Iran would come to his aid, especially after Israel carried out the astonishing assassination in Tehran of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas. That has not happened, in part because Iran’s leaders fear that they too have been infiltrated by Israel.
They also worry about how a public show of support for groups like Hizbullah might affect their standing at home. Faced with growing discontent over a moribund economy, the regime does not want to be seen investing more resources in a proxy that seems to be losing its war against Israel.”
With Iran’s standing damaged, and further involvement leading to worsening economic problems in Iran, it may be unlikely to come to the rescue of their proxies. Since Iran’s foreign policy (particularly in the post Arab Spring regional power vacuum) has been to fight for its interests through its proxies and allies, we’ll have to see if they rethink this strategy - especially given how badly Hezbollah appears to have been compromised. |  | | |
