What future for Israel & Palestine? (Geopolitical fantasy) ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
United States of Palestine and Israel (USPI)
New Palestine (NP)
Greater Israel (GI)
State of The Holy Land (International Commission)
  1. United States of Palestine and Israel (USPI)
    This is a federal solution similar to the United States with different regions ruled independently and without real borders/walls, one single currency, airspace, job market, etc. plus international pressure to enforce democracy and not apartheid with military force.

  1. New Palestine (NP)

    This is a situation in which Israel disappears and Palestine returns to its pre-1948 borders. In addition this new state will have a duty to protect and enforce a minimum representation for Jewish in the government as well as Hebrew as main language together with Arabic.

  2. Greater Israel (GI)

    This is a situation in which Palestine disappears and Israel gets to rule all the land including all of Gaza and the West Bank (in perspective potentially Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the Sinai desert).

  3. State of The Holy Land (International Commission)

    In this case the international community takes over the land and make sure it is safe to access all the holy sites for the main three monotheistic religions. New residents would not be able to elect their representatives, the country will be completely demilitarised and even guns/personal weapons will be banned.

"Palestine returns to its pre-1948 borders" - you mean return to the British mandate? I don't think the British would want that (and no one wants to be riled by the British. Even the British)

All of these suck incredibly hard.

I find it odd that a separate 2-state-solution isn't an option here.

And what is the question? Are you asking us to vote on what we'd prefer, or what we think would happen?

@MatthewLeong Yeah I'd support a 2-state solution (which I thought was almost the status quo) very strongly.

@duck_master - While not explicit in the name, I think when people say a '2-state solution' they mean that the borders are settled, and each state governs itself within those borders.

Right now Israel's government imposes a lot of governance on Gaza (and to the extent to which the government that Hamas controls does any governing, Hamas has suspended elections, which doesn't seem like a 'solution' to the problem).

To put it another way, the status quo is a problem, and leaving it as-is is not a solution to the problems. So in my mind, to propose a "two-state solution" implies both that there are 2 states, and that somehow some problems are solved.

@MatthewLeong you should vote the one you think would be a better outcome for peace and stability in your opinion, of course it's fantasy as I said in the title
