Yitzhak Rabin must be rolling in his grave right now. What 21st century Zionazis don’t understand is that an irreversible status quo doesn’t mean a thousand year Reich, but the likely very bloody destruction of their settler colonialist project entirely. The two state solution is the compromise.
Rabin woulf love what is happening today. He never planed to decolonize rhe west bank
He wanted it as a vassal state (“an entity less than a state,” in his own words), but he also understood that the (as of his time) would eventually destroy Israel. “Break their bones” Rabin was, as one would expect from a Zionist, the scum of the earth, but he was smart scum of the earth and clearly thought that a permanent settlement with Palestinians was necessary for the long-term survival of Israel. Well now the dominant faction of Israeli politics is against any such settlement; there’s nothing about this he would’ve loved except for the number of dead Palestinians.
He simply wanted a slower colonization to manage backslash and palestinians retaliation. With how israel is getting away with genocide, i wouldn’t be surprised that arrogance and the feeling of israel invinsibility he would still back this new plan
