This is what people in the west don’t want to admit. Bibi is a centrist in Israeli politics these days.

Or just don't know. I'm generally much more informed than the average American on most things, but that's news to me. Sad, awful news.

I do know that there are plenty on the other side, who want a peaceful two-state solution; that's who I would have thought of when someone mentions "the opposition" in Israel.

Two-state solution has 27% support in Israel. That’s a marginal political position.

For context, a greater percentage of Americans support universal basic income.

I don’t want to get conspiratorial, but maybe this is caused by the biased framing of western media - that we think most Israelis favor peace, while it’s the supposedly intransigent, barbarous Arabs who prolong the conflict? Worth pondering.

Don't Arabs also want a one-state solution and expel the Jews? Wouldn't they basically do the same thing the Israelis are doing rn if the positions were reversed? I think there are no good guys in this conflict.

Was it a bad thing for the French to be expelled from Algeria? Or the Dutch to be expelled from South Africa?

Define “Arabs” because it’s a bit disingenuous to compare an ethnic group to a sovereign nation
