עצומת הח"כים נגד מדינה פלסטינית - בכל מצבmobile.mako.co.il 61 חברי כנסת חתמו על ההצעה, שאותה יזמו ליברמן ואלקין מהאופוזיציה, וגם רוטמן ואדלשטיין מהקואליציה - מה שאומר שהיא תאושר עוד לפני הפגרה • "מדינה פלסטינית תהווה סכנה קיומית למדינה, תנציח את הסכסוך ותערער...

This resolution was not initiated by the Netanyahu coalition but instead by the right wing of the opposition in the Knesset, by the way. For those who think getting Netanyahu out will solve the central problem of Israeli rejectionisism.

Ugh... Yeah, I wanted to think that Would a collapse of the government coalition at least slow things down?

"oh." yeah, that's...very not good. fucksake.

are any of the center-to-left parties voting for it?

Israel has had one and the same plan since 1948: to seize all the Palestinian territories and make them its own. Israel is a monster since its inception under Ben Gurion.

can't wait for the Biden admin to spin this into support for a two-state solution

The Likud party platform already definitionally states that "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty" so this is just polishing the apple for the Kahanists. Making themselves feel content. Political masturbation, if you will.

And even this is somewhat a concession on their part, because the map that people who founded Likud used as a model of Eretz Yisrael in the 70s l included all of Jordan and Lebanon, and parts of Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. I'm not kidding.

jesus christ why

Well because a majority of Israelis oppose the creation of a Palestinian state of any nature at any time under any circumstances.

OK, that one's on me

actual lol

To attack Netanyahu from the right at a moment he feels vulnerable and because a majority of *Jewish* Israelis hold a position that's functionally identical to this.

Right before his little visit too!
