Any thoughts on Biden's visit to Israel, West Bank & Saudia Arabia this week ?

Saudi Arabia will be opening up its airspace to Israeli (and others) overflights.

The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) said on Thursday the country’s airspace was now open to all carriers that meet its requirements for overflights, in line with international conventions that say there should be no discrimination between civil aircraft.

The decision will “complement the efforts aimed at consolidating the kingdom’s position as a global hub connecting three continents and to enhance international air connectivity”, GACA added in a statement.

The announcement of an open-skies policy by Riyadh will mean shorter flights from Asia to Israel, as airlines serving those routes will no longer be required to take long detours around Saudi Arabia en route to Israel.

United States President Joe Biden, who is set to fly to the kingdom from Israel on Friday as part of a regional tour, welcomed Saudi Arabia’s move.

Screenshots of that may end up in the meme territory, with captions like "And in this moment i realized how great it is to rule a country without democracy".

Palestine is NOT a country. They're NOT going to be an independent country and with all due respect to Biden: FUCK the two state solution!

The day Palestine gets to be a country is if Greece gets back Istanbul and renames it Constantinople.

Oh, they don't sound any worse than your average high school band...

Palestine is NOT a country. They're NOT going to be an independent country and with all due respect to Biden: FUCK the two state solution!

Palestine agrees, because they've been offered a two-state solution in the past and rejected it out of hand. This is why courting Palestine is at best a fool's errand. Supporting Palestine is really the same as supporting the destruction of Israel, but then we've seen that mentality from the left, so it should be unsurprising to see Biden doing this shit.

 

[GoldRanger]

The problem us that a one state solution is also a no-go, because it means Israel will no longer be a Jewish country (plus all the inherent problem of doubling your population with extremely hostile immigrants that also have some of the most active, experienced and armed terrorist organizations in the world), or, alternatively, it will become an actual apartheid in reality (as opposed to the fake "apartheid" of Palestinian propaganda), and I don't like that either.

There's no good solution at the moment either way. My preference is a two state solution, but only after decades of deradicalization of the Palestinian population.
