Um, I am not sure how I feel about this. Why would Xi support a two-state solution? Isn’t it more justified to have a one-state solution and return all of the land to the Palestinians? Won’t a two-state solution eventually lead us back to another genocide? This feels off. I did not expect Xi to make such a statement.
If the Ukraine conflict has taught us anything, it should be that holding on to unrealistic maximalist aims over the possibility of a negotiated settlement is very dangerous and possibly self-destructive.
Since most factions in Palestinian government are at least nominally on board with a Two-State Solution of some kind, I don’t think it’s my place to call for more maximalist goals than the Palestinian people are willing to accept. In other words, I don’t want to be the left version of those blood thirsty NAFO dogs egging Ukraine on from the sidelines.
If a two state solution is agreed upon (and everyone can find a peaceful way to move the 700,000 psychotic and armed illegal settlers), Palestine will 100% need a military force to safeguard their state and their rights. Can you imagine stationing Chinese troops in Gaza or the West Bank and having to be the one to explain to them why they can’t have water or electricity 24 hours a day? Most people don’t say a thing about that because they’ve no idea this nonsense is happening, but good luck trying to stop the military from one of the strongest nations on earth from building water and power plants.
