    Religion is fucking stupid anyway, so a theocratic country is extra stupid.

    Yep, which is why granting Palestine statehood would be also extra stupid.

      I’m not a big fan of theocratic countries myself, but if my choices for the state of the world tomorrow morning are two theocratic countries or one theocratic country next to a field of charred bones, I think I could pick the former pretty easily.

      Really? Now?

      Palestinians deserve their own state, religious or not, that is not for you to judge

      Oh, ew. The preservation of Palestine is about the preservation of people and culture that have every right to exist. Not religion first (which isn’t wrong even if you are against it). This is a ghastly take.

      A two state solution is what was agreed with the UN. Although it is sort of stupid to assume that the hate from either side will die down anytime soon, there are workable solutions like not having a Palestine state be propped up by Hamas. A terrorist group that was propped up by Netanyahi and who alongside Israel eliminated people’s ability to vote for new leadership, it’s clear that Israel wanted to stoke hate and a boogeyman they could also easily defeat.
