I honestly do not think a geographically separated Palestinian state would work exactly for the same reasons it did not work out for east Pakistan, which is now Bangladesh.

Clearly one of two things will ultimately occur:

1. A right wing Israeli government will eject non-citizen Arabs from the land either by settlement, starvation, or ejection. Then Israel will annex that land. This can only occur because everyone else implicitly authorizes it. This is the most likely scenario.

2. An international military coalition will invade and impose a military occupation like NATO did to the Balkans in the 1990s. This is easier than it sounds from a military perspective because Israel is small and simple to isolate. Just like Israel isolates the occupied territories they too can be isolated just the same. It’s only challenging from a political perspective.

A sign of things to come for the natives of Greenland if they are invaded by Americans.

Trump and his buffoon class havent done anything major in their lives beyond Attention Capture.

We live in an Attention Economy that massively benefits Attention seekers.

So it become easy to mistake attention capture with getting complicated things done.

Tell that to California. Trump and his ilk are buffoons but they aren't simply putting on a show for the 'gram.

It may have been a relatively slow response, but I don't think majorly so.

Not challenging, but undoable. All parties capable of it will never do it.

My (quite pessimistic) prediction for Israel is that the moment US is busy somewhere else, neighbors will attack en masse.

California and ICE actions in general are important to address, but I believe they were created as a distraction from the authoritarian provisions of the BBB tax bill.
