As war in Gaza enters 3rd month, EU top diplomat urges to make 'two-state solution a reality'
[AFRICANEWS] 3 months of Israeli military intervention have decimated families, wiped out cities and left thousands maimed and bereaved.

Some dig to retrieve bodies from under the rubble.

More than 22,700 Paleostinians have been killed.
A possibly imaginary number, but never mind — it may well be a comparative proportion to the real population of Gaza compared to the official number. Bottom line: Don’t start none, won’t be none. But they did start it, and now they’re finding out.They should be more careful about complaining though, because as in all else, Allah wills this.
"There is no safe place in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, we are all under bombardment. We are all under death, and destruction. [Naked women under the rubble, that no one can recognize, who they were? we couldn't distinguish between one or the other]. Children killed for no reason; they did nothing wrong," Inas who lost family member says.

"Everything happening here is outside the realms of law, outside the realms of reason. Our brains can’t fully comprehend all this that is happening to us," she laments.

Israel's war with Gaza followed Hamas

’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel in which the turbans killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took some 250 people hostage.

"A week ago, I felt that the public is forgetting the hostages", Osnat Sharabi, the sister of Yossi and Eli, kidnapped from their homes in Beeri said. Eli’s wife and 2 daughters were murdered, and Yossi's family was rescued.

"The public got used to the situation. I felt the government and the world stopped doing any actions to bring them home. And I have this very, distressing feeling. And then I wanted to do something, to do like an act, like a movement....." Osnat Sharabi concludes.

The display, organised 90 days after the hostages were kidnapped, sits under a banner reading: "Let's show the kidnapped the way home".

Organisers collected shoes from people from communities in the south and people from Tel Aviv added to the donations.

An Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
hit a house between Khan Younis and the southern city of Rafah, killing at least seven people whose bodies were taken to the nearby European Hospital, according to an News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalist at the facility.

An apparent Israeli airstrike killed two Paleostinian journalists in southern Gaza on Sunday, including the son of veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Wael Dahdouh, whose wife, two other children and a grandson were killed earlier in the war.

TWO-STATE SOLUTION
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted the war will not end until the objectives of eliminating Hamas, getting Israel’s hostages returned and ensuring that Gaza won’t be a threat to Israel are met.

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
) in an attempt to tamp down tensions on the Lebanon-Israel border that he aims to jumpstart a European-Arab initiative to revive a grinding of the peace processor that would result in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.

"It is time to make our idea of two state solution a reality, otherwise the cycle of violence will continue generation after generation, funerals after funerals, because you cannot kill an idea. You can kill people, but you cannot kill an idea. The only way of killing a bad idea is to bring a good one. And the good one is to make the Paleostinians and the Israelis live together in peace and security sharing the land. ...
Or contrariwise, there will be no peace until the Palestinians and the Israel-hating portion of the world give up the idea of a separate Palestinian nation as the first step toward making the entire territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea Judenrein.
ISRAEL'S POST-WAR VISION
Israel's Gaza post-war plan unveiled Thursday (Jan. 04) doesn't include a political solution for all of Paleostine.

Israeli defence minister Gallant's statement underlined that the war would go on until Hamas' military and government capabilities are eliminated and the more than 100 hostages still in captivity are returned.

In the north, the statement said, forces will shift to a new approach that includes raids, destruction of tunnels, "air and ground activities and special operations." The aim would be "the erosion" of the remaining Hamas presence.

There was no word whether northern Gaza's population, which has almost entirely been driven south, would be allowed to return.
It will take years to make it habitable, and anyway, something like 75% of the population wanted to leave before the war started, so this is a good opportunity to get while the getting is possible.
The statement did not clarify how the new approach would differ from current operations. Israel began last week to withdraw some troops from northern Gaza, where the military says it has largely gained operational control after weeks of heavy fighting with Hamas. Still, Gallant has said several thousand Hamas fighters remain there.

In the south, he said, fighting would continue "as long as is deemed necessary."

After the war, the statement said, Israel will keep security control, taking military action in Gaza when necessary to ensure there are no threats and maintaining inspections of all goods entering the territory.

Gallant said there would be no Israeli civilians in Gaza, ruling out calls by some in Israel's far-right for a return of Jewish settlers to the territory.

Unnamed Paleostinian entities would run the territory, with Israel providing "information to guide civilian operations," the statement said without elaborating. A multinational task force, led by the U.S., would be in charge of rebuilding.
It won’t be Hamas, nor the Palestinian Authority/PLO/Fatah. There is some talk of turning communities over to their leading tribes to administer locally, but that is thus far nothing more than an airy concept.
The apparent picture of an Israeli-dominated Paleostinian administration for Gaza differs starkly from U.S. calls for a revitalized Paleostinian Authority to take control of the territory and a start to new negotiations toward creating a Paleostinian state alongside Israel. Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have rejected that idea.
President Biden is incapable of leading on this or any other issue, poor man.

#1 It is time to make our idea of two state solution a reality, otherwise the cycle of violence will continue generation after generation, funerals after funerals, because you cannot kill an idea. You can kill people, but you cannot kill an idea.

Tell it to National Socialist German Workers' Party, Hoselito.

#2 How would a two state solution fix anything? The Paleo fucktards will still support terrorist attacks on Israel, the official war will be declared and we are back in the current situation.

#4 Like automatic voter registration for illegals receiving drivers' licenses, the "new paleo state" would come with automatic NATO membership.

#6 "A multinational task force, led by the U.S., would be in charge of rebuilding." Of course, let Uncle Sugar take over. To that I say, if the Europeans want to take charge, let them, but stay the hell out.
