ONLY if it is willing to exist alongside a free Israel and Hamas stops bombing Israel.

I hope you're joking Hamas was elected, the party who want to kill all Jews, and you want to US to fund their army?! Israel is a free democracy and one of the closest allies of the west. Palestine is not.

Of course

Yes, yes, a hundred times yes.

The holidays is always a **** show with my largely pro-Israel family. I have no time for it.

I hope if you aren't pro-Israel you are at least pro-two state solution.

Otherwise, what sort of anti-Semitism has led you to the belief that Jews don't deserve a homeland?

Yes, with Jerusalem as their capital.

I'm not anti-Israel. But I'm definitely anti anti-Palestine, which makes up the lot of my family. Of course a 2 state solution is ideal.

does making them a state mean they are free to make alliances with whomever?

create a palestinian state free to ally with any anti-israel/anti-western country they want like say iran(who is close to russia and syria right?)? and they will feel the need to make these kinds of alliances due to their obvious distrust of their neighbor israel and its past hostility towards their people

you'll have two countries with a DEEP history of conflict and vitriol bordering one another, both supported by greater military powers who also have history of conflict? what you're creating with the 2 state solution isnt a solution at all. its a powder keg waiting for any terrorist attack(or fabricated one) to spark a global conflict. THAT is when it will really start to feel like 1914.

no 2 states. find a way to co-exist. it doesnt matter if you think giving them their own state is the morally correct thing to do because even the morally correct decision can still come with catastrophic consequences.

Yes

Israel would happily engage with a two-state solution. What leftists seem to forget is that Palestine elected a party into their government in the Gaza who immediately murdered the opposition, never held another election and made the destruction of Israel their primary aim.

Yes.
Take Gaza and West Bank and leave us alone.
