    You can admire Israel’s natural beauty (which is just deserts really?) and still support a two state solution though

      I think a one state solution is ultimately better. Needs a heavy handed 3rd party arbitrator. But it will work out in the end.

        For that to happen Zionism needs to be banned and the indoctrination of children to believe that they are carrying intergenerational trauma in order to justify apartheid and genocide needs to end

      where’d you get that from? another “truthout” article?
      only the south of israel is mainly desert.

        I mean, I’ve been there. I’m aware of the geography. Not sure what the source has to do with it?

          you wrote “You can admire Israel’s natural beauty (which is just deserts really?)”.
          if you’ve been there, you’re supposed to know that while the south of israel is mostly deserts, you won’t find any deserts in the rest of it.

            What is your definition of “most” exactly? Because mine is “more than half,” which literally matches what I said. It’s almost 2/3rds desert.

              i wrote most of the south, not most of israel…
              and you wrote “just deserts”…
              the center and north don’t have deserts.
              there are meadows and forests. in some places there’s snow in the winter.
              so again, not “just deserts really”. which is what you wrote.

                  “You can admire Israel’s natural beauty (which is just deserts really?) and still support a two state solution though”

                  is the first comment i replied to.
                  i quoted this part “(which is just deserts really?)”

                  maybe you meant something else, but this is what you wrote.
                  calling me a liar after pointing out and even quoting exactly what you wrote is so ridiculous, that i have a hard time believing you aren’t purposedly misunderstanding.
