Yep. That's why I personally think it's dumb to try and argue for the dissolution of Israel at this point. It's too late. All you can do at this point is damage control and to try and find an equitable solution to the Israel-Palestine problem that gives both groups the ability to self-govern.

It'd be like kicking all the Russians out of former USSR countries, or Chinese out of Tibet, or white people out of the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Israel should be held accountable for what they've done to the Palestinians, but I also don't think you can reasonably expect for everyone in Israel to pack up and leave at this point.

A one state solution doesn't mean that everyone in Israel would have to leave. It would just mean that everyone in the region gets an equal voice in governance. Many people would probably choose to leave, in the same way many people left South Africa when their system of apartheid ended.

Does even Hamas state they want a two-state solution in their charter?

Eh.... I'm just... Not sure a one-state solution would end well, even if you could get past the US. It's not that I like Israel, I hate everything that Israel is doing right now. I'm absolutely disgusted by the way they've been treating the Palestinians. However, I also don't want to see more violence and bloodshed. I've been sickened by the never ending march of dead bodies that our horrid, god-forsaken species seems to crave.

I want a solution that will result in the least amount of violence and death, and I think something like a two-state solution is more likely to achieve that than telling Israelis that they're now under Palestinian control.

One state with all citizens as first class ones.

Two States mean there will be always a frontier and the hate and grudge will never disappear.

Yeah, I believe the two state solution is probably the most logical
