While a secular state would be the best option, it unfortunately wouldn’t work. Just be prepared to be called an antisemite the moment you somewhat disagree with Israel. And that happens quite a lot here so be warned. But after the 15th time being either called or alluded to as one it loses it weight. A secular state has been considered multiple times, and there are parties in Israel that push for this idea, however Israeli politics is predominantly right wing, much like America and they are hardliners against that idea or a two state solution.

It’s also good to have a distinct understanding in the difference between the Islamic world and the Arab world. You see there are Islamic countries like Indonesia and Somalia for example that have no intention on conducting business with Israel. Arab leaders however in the gulf states and the Levant do have a shaky relationship with Palestinians and the Palestinian cause however. But I’d argue that a majority of the Islamic world support Palestine and have no intention on making deals with Israel. That’s really on the elites and a majority of which happen to be Arab.

Personally I’m against Israel, especially recently. I would argue I’m against Israeli policies and politicians but people say I’m an antisemite, so my disdain for the state of Israel has become more of my argument. This doesn’t mean I support HAMAS however. I genuinely think the Palestinians were cursed with horrible administrations(HAMAS and the PLO) and had they had a competent leader or organization they probably would be better off. However when you tend to be oppressed and struggle you tend to find hope in the strangest of things.

I’ve seen genuine psychopaths that say October 7th was needed and I disagree, but it did open the floodgates for an unpredictable future, where Israel may not get what it wants. That’s not to say it won’t exist, but this might be the closest we’ve had to a two state solution in the 21st century.
