Customer Reviews
The two state solution is absurd
1. Gaza and the West Bank is separated by Israel in between. Think East and West Pakistan.
2. Kushner proposed a tunnel connecting the two. What was he smoking? It would be a nightmarish security threat for Israel.
3. Look at the map of the West Bank. It is dotted with Jewish settlements, Palestinian controlled, Israeli controlled and jointly controlled areas. How is this going to be consolidated into two contiguous areas.
4. What are the proponents of a two state solution hallucinating about?
This is an unconventional situation that does not lend itself to a political, diplomatic negotiated solution.
What Israel should do is set up secured refugee camps for women, children and elderly. Take over Gaza and the West Bank. Turn these refugee camps over to the international community to serve, with the understanding that they will be relocated out of Israel. End the Palestinian cause once and forever.
Yeah... No
I'm gonna say the same thing I always do. Misinformation. Propaganda. Probably good people, just need to more research. Don't spread lies. #freethehostages #freepalestinefromhamas
Keep listening.
I listened backwards, stopped at episode 13. The summary of events leading to this conflict was quite biased towards Israel. There were significant events left out that give much needed context to the history. Episode 82, loved it. I could feel the nerves but truly enjoyed the open and honest conversation.
