"The pro-Palestine march is now well underway, with demonstrators chanting "End the occupation now" and "Stop arming Israel".

Veteran activist Peter Tatchell has been arrested at the protest for carrying a placard reading "Globalise the intifada", his foundation said."

Thankfully he was arrested for his sign. Clear incitment. The Manchester attack on a synagogue and Bondi beach attack and still some of the pro pal marches want to 'globalise the intifada'.

You'd have to ask them what changed. I couldn't possibly comment.

No, that's a completely different sentence.

That gives a lot of information. Let me help you out: He's an Iraqi born Jewish man who lives and works in the UK. He's anti Zionist. He has lived in Israel and did his military service there but he is among other anti Zionists like Ilan Pappe. If he is your source for Israel and Palestine history may I respectively suggest you read more widely.

Peter Tatchell might like to go and live in Gaza then. He could do a report on how LGBTQ rights work there.

Indeed.

Recognising the legitimacy of the state of Israel (which Hamas, btw, do not) does not mean recognising the legitimacy of that state to take over your land and become your country, in your 'one state solution'.

Its a simple question. Either tell me what you think or summarise his argument as I don't have a copy to hand.

You what? Palestinians accepted a one state solution (Israel takes control of all the land) in return for a two state solution?

Tell me, why do you think there are so few Jews in countries other than Israel in the ME?

It will not happen because the Jewish majority would be taken over by a Muslim one. Ergo no longer a Jewish State.

If they don’t want to recognise Israel as a country in its own right next to theirs, why on earth do you think they would recognise Israel as their own country?

An Israel where Jewish people are a tiny minority, just like they are everywhere else. Often with consequences for their safety.

Utopia?

Major problem is that Israelies don't trust Palestinians and Palestinians dont trust Israelies. Terrorists roaming all through the area might be a little problematic. They aren't all going to shake hands, lay down weapons and trust everyone. Hence, the slower approach by peace deals, everyone needs to agree to it and they just wouldn't agree to one state given what's occurred.
