    How about the "No-State Solution": bomb the entire area of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank from orbit and make it uninhabitable (after giving a "humanitarian pause" so that people have time to leave of course). You guys fucked up again and again and are endangering the rest of us, so sadly no one gets to live there. Construct a statue of the Flying Spaghetti Monster over the ruins of ancient Muslim and Jewish religious sites as a cautionary tale.

    Only question is whether they would still keep trying to kill each other at this point.

    • The statue will be like the doll in Squid Game, watching over the territory and instantly vaporizing any religious idiots who try to enter.yuekit
    • Be sure they would continue killing each other somewhere else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯OBBTKN
    • how about having some principles and not posting fucking craven both sides shit like this.face_melter
    • face let's say in the most extreme scenario Hamas wins and establishes a Palestinian state...will you be celebrating that?yuekit
    • It would almost certainly just be another theocratic dictatorship that oppresses women and minorities. And continue fighting with Israel.yuekit
    • Humans are stupid, and religions do not help with that.ApeRobot
    • Sorry face, but I don't think you know me well enough to question my "principles"...OBBTKN
    • And I can assure you that I am not very wrong in what I say. I have experienced very similar situations firsthand for this...OBBTKN
    • seriously?!oey_oey
    • and people upvote this? this place is fucked.oey_oey
    • tell me you're american without telling me you're american. and if you're not american well guess what...oey_oey
    • lol, yes I'm an American, guilty as charged. The comment is not serious obviously... but someone needs to answer why it's so important for these people toyuekit
    • control this particular piece of land. Climate change will make it uninhabitable at some point anyway so my idea is arguably just getting ahead of the curve.yuekit
    • "Hamas wins and establish a Palestinian state" as has been the goal of every progressive Israeli politician? Yanks are obsessed with someone winning.kingsteven
    • No matter the outcome, nobody wins.kingsteven
    • stop pretending the solution isn't US/western withdrawal and trade sanctions on Isreal until there are peace negotiations. working towards a Palestinian statekingsteven
    • What's with the casual anti-Yank bigotry? The Brits did at least as much to create this situation.yuekit
    • I'm just pointing out that at the root of this conflict lies a somewhat irrational ethnonationalism or religious nationalism. It will very difficult to everyuekit
    • i'm irish, like joe bidenkingsteven
    • satisfy nationalistic demands of both Israelis and Palestinians. A peace process would no doubt be sabotaged by extremists as it was in the past.yuekit
    • Even after a peace process, there's nothing to stop these two states from going to war. Ultimately the only solution is to change peoples' minds.yuekit
    • I agree, it’s a shitty piece of land, one group demands they live there because an imaginary god they made up pretended to say that he chose them_niko
    • And another group who also believes in this god that the first group made up but they were told they have Devine right to this land by a dude in a flying horse_niko
    • And they’ve been killing each other ever since. They are both insufferable cunts, too dumb to realize the absurdity of it all so they keep on killing._niko
    • If it keeps going like this, yuekits solution will happen naturally sooner or later, they’ll turn the whole place into a giant crater and we’ll finally get some_niko
    • ...Peace and quiet._niko
    • It's not an exaggeration to say that in the coming decades the land is going to become less and less attractive to fight over.yuekit

    • Haha, This is a nice take, but who would take the responsibility of wiping them all out? Then in 20 years time we realise their Gods were real all along!Ianbolton
    • no-state is a fatalist mindset... to wish everyone dead because nothing else fits with US political narrative. it only highlights your lack of control inkingsteven
    • what is an obvious solution to a current ongoing genocide: sanctions on Isreal. but sure explain sectarianism to someone from Belfastkingsteven
    • I'm not wishing everyone dead -- I think their lives would be much better if they go live somewhere else.yuekit
    • My ancestors, the Yue people, were displaced from their land by the Chinese empire. That's an interesting historical detail but I could care less aboutyuekit
    • going back and reclaiming the land. It's absolutely meaningless.yuekit
    • I have a better solution: let's bring some mormons in to break the tie and see what happens. Or give the land entirely to them.maikel
    • Mormons? I think they would prefer an A bomb if you gave them the choice...OBBTKN
    • It's funny how certain posts are given attention, and some are not. Like THIS post, why would you even considering commenting on this nonsense?canoe
    • what's funny is how many people took it seriouslyfadein11
    • Mormons? Come on, Maikel. Please, be serious.
      If you _really_ want to go nuclear, you send in the Jehova's Witnesses. And Scientologists.
      Continuity
    • ^ you have out-cult me there. Scientologist, so we can have Tom Cruise jumping from a helicopter or summinmaikel
    • The Scientologists will be the special forces to the Jehova's Witnesses' front-line jarheads.
      Wouldn't be sorry to see either of 'em go.
      Continuity
    • @fadein11 Indeed... I post this nonsensical satire and one of the first comments is "how about having some principles you bastard!"yuekit
    • The irony being this actually is the policy of Hamas, drive Israelis off the land completely, destroy the state of Israel.yuekit
    • And it's also been stated by people in Netanyahu's government... all the land is ours, including Lebanon.yuekit
    • But when you suggest giving both sides what they want people get upset.yuekit
