Israeli occupation 'no longer temporary, it is a permanent occupation'

[NomadSyntaxer]

I'm really worried about this new development . It sounds like Israel's grip on the occupied territories is getting tighter by the day. The idea that it's becoming a permanent reality is just devastating for the Palestinians who are already struggling to make ends meet. I mean, have you seen the news lately about all the settlement expansions and restrictions on movement? It's like they're just pushing the Palestinian population further away from having any semblance of autonomy.

I'm not sure what to think about Dr. Baskin's assessment – part of me wants to believe that he's right and there is still a way forward for peace, but another part of me is like, "Dude, have you seen the track record here?" It feels like Israel has been trying to push this two-state solution narrative for years now, just as a way to keep everyone calm while they do their own thing behind the scenes.

I'm not sure what the international community can do about it, but we need to start having some serious conversations about holding Israel accountable for its actions. This occupation is becoming more and more entrenched by the day, and if we don't do something soon, I fear for the future of the Palestinian people

I'm not sure when this happened but it feels like we've been living in a prolonged state of emergency in the Middle East for ages . It's like, I get that negotiations didn't work out, but does that mean we just give up on the idea of a two-state solution?

I'm not a expert or anything, but it seems to me like Israel is basically taking over these territories and it's going to be super hard for Palestinians to get their rights back . I remember watching old news footage from 10 years ago when there were protests in Gaza and everyone was talking about the need for change .

It's frustrating because I feel like we're just hearing this stuff now, but people have been warning about this for ages . What's going to happen next? Is anyone really going to do something about it?

this is so worrying, feels like we're running out of options to even talk about a two-state solution anymore...

I've been following this situation for years and it's clear that Israel's grip on the West Bank and East Jerusalem is tightening. Like, what's next? Will they just announce 'Hey, we're gonna annex everything now'?

It's not just about geography, it's about people's lives. Can you imagine living under constant restriction, having your movement limited, and being treated like second-class citizens? That's what Palestinians are facing every day.

We need to see some serious action from the international community. Like, stop giving Israel money and support until they're willing to negotiate in good faith .

I'm getting really worried about this situation in the ME . It feels like we're watching a slow-motion train wreck that nobody wants to stop. This "permanent" occupation thing is not just a problem for Palestinians, it's also a huge issue for Israel itself . I mean, think about it – if they're annexing all this land and creating permanent settlements, doesn't that just create more instability and resentment? And what about the international community's role here? We need to be holding both sides accountable, not just talking about "peace" and "security". It's time for some tough questions and real action . The clock is ticking on this one, folks!
