Oof: “Russia & the US have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine. [..] Russia would have military & econ control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, imitating Israel’s de facto rule of Palestinian territory seized from Jordan in 1967.”

Sounds like a pretty superficial ploy to avoid EU criticism

They turn Ukraine into Gaza, we turn Cascadia into Ukraine. Tit for tat.

Why not just skip decades of violence and suffering and go straight to sending Ukrainians to S Sudan?

Or it could actually be part of a secret plot by Netanyahu to rid himself of the ultra orthodox parties that have been bedeviling him.Since Ukraine has some of popular Hasidic pilgrimage locations,let the ultra orthodox create “settlements” in these “territories” so they don’t have to travel as far.

Yeah, let's take the most intractable and inflamed unresolved conflict in the world and use that as a model... What the actual...?

Excellent idea. The only rational solution. Let's see the Ukraine/Israel flag shaggers combust at this one..

That ended so well for people in West Bank... No doubt the Rusamerican Quisling will xhit out some cringe 'Trump Donbas': vid with Russian settlers begging for golden 🐩 statues to mount in the apartments they looted from expelled indigenous population...

That model would surely require Russia not make the occupied population citizens, which they are already doing.

On the other hand, not extending Israeli citizenship to Palestinians in the West Bank has created a nightmare dual legal system.

Agreed. Worst of all outcomes and a bizarre model to copy.

Imagine looking at the Israeli occupation of Palestine and all that’s come of it over the past lifetime of international conflict and thinking we need more of that

What has been more successful, and a better illustration of the unifying force of democratic liberalism than Israel’s occupation of the West Bank?
