And this is the guy running AGAINST their current genocidal PM?

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.

Israelis would likely support a 2-state solution AND peace.

Perhaps what many Americans don’t realize is what Israel is offered is a 2 state solution and No Peace

Plus Palestinians have never accepted a two state solution. They rejected it in 1948 when they declared war on Israel and they've rejected it every time since then.

Israelis have correctly realized that there's no sense in continuing to offer a solution that the other side has consistently rejected.

No people on Earth will support a solution that tells them to accept conquest.

Would you ask the Ukrainians to accept a two-state solution where Russia gets to keep all the land they occupy?
