The choices at this point are a flawed one state uniting two bodies, or one state with a successful ethnic cleansing. Two state solution has been taken off the table by illegal settlements of the west bank and, soon, Gaza.

The old fascist tactic of accusing the other side of the things you’re guilty of.
Really telling on yourself here! Would be funny if you weren't so sad.
This "failed state" Palestine would be the most free they have been in the better part of a century. Having a right of return, protections from illegal settlers, representation in the UN etc. The last free election in Gaza was also a narrow win for Hamas, and stability of statehood would be quite deradicalizing
Hell, even just control over their own electric, water, and internet access would be a game changer for Gaza.
You can maybe have a Gaza state, but Israel has destroyed any hope of a united west bank that could be meaningfully called a state. Unless they also returned all stolen land, but those illegal settlers are the most extreme.
Israel has no incentive to stop. Even cutting funding won't. They've made so much headway in their genocide they want to finish and set up their new canal through Gaza to rival Suez. (Surprise surprise another colonial asset to defend next time they want to do a massacre).
There needs to be a massive surge of BDS and frankly nations sending peacekeeping troops willing to check IDF aggression while rebuilding.
To be clear this is unlikely to be a long term nation wide internet blackout. Rather, e.g., turn off the Internet in a section of a city and send in troops to deal with a protest.
Thanks for the better article. Still wild how little restraint Israel is showing, even if this wasn't retribution. Though don't think they are above such things.
