If you want people to support Israel's continued existence, you need to make it clear that you're not opposed to a Palestinian state's COMING existence, and the whole Zionist discourse has to change from it's present insistence that what the current Israeli government wants is all that matters, or the "there was never a country called Palestine" canard- it doesn't matter if there was a country in the past called that- or the "there's no such thing as a Palestinian" lie.

If you want people to back a two-state solution, make sure you're not unquestioningly backing the current state when it insists that the other state can never come into existence.

Peace can only come when Palestinians are no longer under Israeli subjugation- because nobody has the right to ask Palestinians to accept Israel if Israel doesn't accept that they have any right to anything at all.
