daranran replied to your post: Do you have any links handy of posts where you talk about why you support Palestine? I’m especially interested in your position and reasoning, given your Jewish heritage. My opinions aren’t fully formed, but any time I mention to a Jewish friend that I may not be 100% on board with Zionism, they flip out on me.
So does that mean you are for a one-state solution (Palestine?)

In an ideal world, yes, but the hope for a one-state solution at this point in time is wishful thinking. Palestinians make up roughly 25% of Israel and would the Palestinians in general be granted full citizenship rights and possibly the Right of Return, they would comprise a majority in Israel and since the state is “democratic,” the Zionists would no longer have a majority. “Israel” would become “Palestine.” For this reason, a one-state solution is not likely to happen, for the Israeli Jewish Zionists would never agree to it.
