        Netanyahu has never pursued a 2 state solution. he's done everything he can to undermine it. -- nm - mafic Mar 26, 17:53 5

        he's been in power for almost all of the last 15 years. I think you have to define Israel by his actions at this point. - mafic Mar 26, 19:21 3

        I think there is a potential solution, but Netanyahu has to go for it to have a chance. It’s basically what Biden was working on before this - pmb Mar 26, 21:29
        
        I think, broadly speaking, the condemnation comes not from Israel’s intent to defend itself, but from its apparent acceptance - znufrii Mar 26, 17:49 1
        
        I don’t disagree with that and it is totally reasonable to disagree with their tactics. It’s also incredibly difficult to find easy alternatives that - pmb Mar 26, 18:55
        
        Israel is mostly condemned not for fighting back, but for the way they do. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 26, 17:01 11

        The difference is how we get there and understand the issues. You come from a place that started from equating it to a genocide and pinning blame on - pmb Mar 26, 17:48 8

        “Not for lack of wanting by some in his government”. - pmb Mar 26, 19:01 6
        
        Yes. Let's unpack that. - Marlowe Mar 26, 19:18 5
        
        “It’s not , but” would have been a good start. To assume it’s implied is much more difficult in these times when it way too often is very much not - pmb Mar 26, 19:24 4

        Again, point taken. - Marlowe Mar 26, 20:29 1
        
        That was not at all my intention. I don’t believe anyone here is. - pmb Mar 26, 20:37
    - Not for lack of wanting from some in his government. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 26, 16:23 3
      - Debatable. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 16:44 2
        
        Oh, I'm sure the ultra-nationalists that actually gave Bibi the mandate are all hunky-dory. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 26, 16:46 1
        
        Do they want the land and want to be left alone to do whatever they want? Sure. Do they want to wipe out a race? I'm not going to argue that there - pmb Mar 26, 16:52
