Palestine is occupied Israeli land and Israel is building settlements there. Israel only keeps Palestine de jure 'external' due to international pressure, with the extra advantage of not having to give Palestians the same rights as Israelis (i.e. Apartheid). Claiming it is not apartheid based on some territorial technicality is disingenious.
When Palestine gets full sovereign statehood maybe then we can watch evangelical politicans perspectives on far-right Christian Youtube channels.

- frobishercresc 4y agoIt is not Israel's state to offer. Either they annex the land and give Palestinians universal suffrage as the democratic country they claim to be, or unilaterally pull out of the land they are occupying (which includes land in Syria). They don't need to consult with Palestinians to withdraw to internationally recognised borders. There was no clear offer of statehood in any case, only negotiations where both sides accuse the other or themselves for failure.
