Hamas is an Iranian proxy group, and October 7th proved beyond any doubt that a two state solution isn’t workable. Ever.Skimmed your post and I’m just gonna say that boiling Hamas down to a mere Iranian proxy is a vast oversimplification and totally misses the core of the issue.
Palestinians were completely cut out of the process that directly impacts them and they had to do something massive and heinous to thrust the focus of the issue back to Palestinians, rather than the “peace deal” ABOUT them that marginalized them.
The sooner everyone can understand that there is no sustainable solution other than a two state solution, the better (but I am not saying it will be easy or smooth). Trump and Netanyahu engineered the Abraham Accords to further the one-state non-solution.
Gaza and the West Bank have been an experiment that spanned an entire generation. In Gaza they had their own territory with no Jewish settlers, their own autonomous government, all the infrastructure they needed, foundations of industry, and enough of a stipend to make everything work.
Meanwhile, West Bank was the control, left to continue as an occupied territory with Jewish settlers, an Israeli security force, a pseudo-government, etc. This experiment ran for a full generation and conclusively proved which model was better.
The Palestinians in Ramallah, West Bank have a higher standard of living than Palestinians in Cairo, Egypt or Amman, Jordan. The *ONLY* Palestinians in the region with a higher standard of living would be those in Israel proper. Meanwhile, the two-state cohort in Gaza devolved into the worst standard of living in the region.
Those still suggesting a two state solution in the face of evidence are living in a fantasy world.
