Peace on Earth begins in Palestine
peoplesworld.org
Redemption, hope, renewal, peace—they’re in the prayers and wishes of many this time of year. Looking at the brutal and horrific war in Gaza, though, all of them seem in even shorter supply than usual.

    This ends 1 of 2 ways:

    1. Israel commits genocide against all their enemies.

    2. Israelis leave Israel.

    3. (Extremely unlikely but probably the best outcome for everyone involved): Israel makes sacrifices to make Palestine a place worth living.

    If neither of things have occurred, then the problem is still ongoing.

      What about 3. Israel reforms its treatment of Palestinians and stops settlements and the blockade on Gaza

        That would only work if Israel makes sacrifices to make Palestine a place worth living.

        They would have the raise the quality of life of Palestinians so much that they don’t feel like rebelling.

          So that’s one way for the war to end as well. Add it to your list.

                I agree! I initially was going to say 3 was even less likely than 2, lol.

                I personally think 1 is what Israel will try to do, but I’m not sure if I’ll be around long enough to see it succeed.

        Lets be clear. Muslims dont believe they have the right to a specific land. The most that come close is that non Muslims cannot enter Mecca and Madinah.

        Palestinians motive is not islamic in nature, its a resistance against a continues occupation.

        If you return lands taken from their owners by force. Allow for an actual democratic society to exist. Charge and prosecute war criminals and associates people who funded these crimes. Call it Palestine, or any other name. Arab and Muslim will have no issues.

        However, you get Zainoist who believes in Jewish rights to a “Jwish” state. And that’s the problem because it creates by nature the need for “Muslims” state. This idea is publiced by Zainoist who also believe they have the right to the Kingdom of Isreal which expand all the way to Iraq Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

        These claims and motivation is supported by the US government and many other controlled governments specifically evangelical who think this is what need to be done for the next coming.

        That’s the reality that people try to hide behind claims that one state solution is not going to work because Muslims and Arab and not because Isreal have no intention of doing so.
