The two state solution isn't workable, because Israel will never allow a viable Palestinian state. The only three options are

  • genocide
  • a permanent state of apartheid
  • giving the Palestinians the vote and letting the political chips fall however they may

All three options have downsides, but in my view the third choice is the only one that's sustainable in the long run and not morally monstrous. But I have no confidence at all that that's the pathway that will be chosen.

What, pray you, is the nuanced downside to genocide?

Edit: lol I forgot the /s didn't think it was necessary. Your wording was funny to say there's a downside to all 3 like genocide is even an option
