Because the Palestinians are many decades late in accepting a two-state peace deal and their bargaining position isn't getting any better.

Because even moving 80% of West Bank settlement population is going to be difficult for Israel to achieve politically and we want the proposal to be something that can be actually achieved because we can see what the alternatives are. And this is with a hypothetical Democrat US president willing to bring ultimatums to an new Israeli President that is to the left of Netanyahu.

If you want to encourage endless conflict over what your vision of justice is then that's your right. But if there's no compromise there's going to be a lot of (mostly Palestinian) blood spilled yet and you should be aware of that.

In the spirit of wanting this thread to be more productive: I would like to see ~80%+ of the West Bank settlers shoved back into Israel as part of a peace deal and the infrastructure given as reparations.

When pressuring a witness, etc, the gangster will always end the intimidation with making the victim repeat whatever humiliating or farcical line the gangster wants to be the new reality. It's forcing a visible submission.

History does not support this assertion. The Israelis are very determined and capable in self defence.

The FUD about climate change is wayyyy to large and the advantages of cheating too great for advanced economies to all decide to co-operate and deindustrialise and return most of their citizens to some version of agrarian living.

Wouldn't the Trump right say they were a counter reaction to the radicalisation of the establishment left? Saying men are women, racial hiring quotas, record levels of immigration while respectable low to middle income manufacturing jobs offshored to China, the gleeful forcasting of America's "founding population/dominant culture" becoming a minority.

China doesn't get natural gas any cheaper from the European cutoff because of the way the infrastructure is organised and China is not going to unilateraly pay for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline like Russia needs, because Russia is too likely to collapse in the near future.

Thankfully, the Europeans aren't stupid.
