“This refusal [of a two-state solution], and the denial of the right to statehood to the Palestinian people, would indefinitely prolong a conflict that has become a major threat to global peace and security,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres says.

UN council members roundly called for the two-State solution to be realized and for an end to the war, with many calling for an immediate ceasefire to end the suffering of Palestinians and allow the aid they urgently need to be delivered unhindered.

Many speakers from the wider UN membership echoed those calls.

    Israel has absolutely no right to reject the two-state solution. I’m beginning to feel that Israel itself has no right to exist any longer. The only outcome that will ever work in any way, under any circumstances, is to allow Palestine to have it’s own independence and its own territory. If Israel rejects that idea, we need to reject Israel and do our best to wipe them off the face of the earth for the good of the rest of mankind.

      We need to differentiate between Israel as an administrative-state/ country, and the literal Israeli people as individuals.

      And “wipe them off the face of the earth” sounds like you’re talking about the latter.

      If you are, please take that rhetoric elsewhere.

      No colonial state has a right to exist, but there is a difference between calling for de-col and calling for ‘wiping [people] off the face of the earth’.
