    I recognize Palestinian people’s right to identity, autonomy, self-governance, sovereignity, freedom of movement, etcetc. But I can’t in all honesty say that I recognize the two de-facto disjointed and powerless entities under Israeli occupation and control as a singular state, if any at all.

    Freedom to Gaza, end to West Bank apartheid, glory to Arstozka

      That’s part of the problem and why one recurring demand is for Palestine to have a single contiguous territory, instead of the bisection done by Israel.

        I don’t see it as that big of a problem, countries with exclaves exist, could be something like Armenian-Azerbaijani solution with mutual corridors (though this one has shown to fail miserably). The fact that Fatah and Hamas went their own direction is a bit more of an issue. My position is simple, though - Israel should fuck off all occupied territories, including those of Syria and Lebanon, and lift all blockades they have enacted. They can put as many walls and iron domes as they want, but fuck off the territory that doesn’t belong to them. Whether Palestine re-unites after that or remains as two independent states is then up to Palestinian people to decide.

          I can agree with that. Palestinians should get to decide whether they’re one state or more.
