I can certainly see why the Israelis don't want it. I would start with ending the ongoing colonisation of the West Bank and end the war in Gaza before Israel ends up any more of a pariah state than it already is.

Colonisation in 2025 is a really, really bad look tbh.

Fair, although I I think it's pretty clear that no one would want that, just as you claim no one would agree to the UN partition.

And I think colonization is really the wrong term here, it's just two native populations fighting over a piece of land - not exactly a new historical concept.

Right, "settler colonialism" is probably the more precise term. Colonialism is too vague.

That doesn't mean it's not colonialism. And the Israelis have less right to the West Bank than I, as an Anglo-Saxon, have to Lower Saxony, which is still not very much.

TIL Americans and Europeans are native to Palestine.
