Going back in time to strangle Gavrillo Princip in his crib. Which is more workable than yours.

Wouldn't a "Palestinian state...run and secured by Israel" actually be Israel?

Not necessarily.
Think of it as 'overseen', 'inspected'.
Which is quite sensibly the last thing Israel wants. Unless they want to paint huge concentric red circles on the backs of the overseers and inspectors.

Well a two state solution is what the US, the UN, and most everyone else are in favour of.
The pro-Palestine protesters worldwide seem to hate the Jews/Israel and want them gone, with a new state of Palestine being "from the river to the sea". They are demanding it all.
You are arguing that Israel should create an Israel "from the river to the sea".

That's one solution, with the Palestinians relocated to Muslim Arab nations.
So your only problem with "From the river to the sea" is who is chanting it. Good to know there are some genocides you support.

Problem with that idea is that no Muslim Arab nation seems to want them.

If the US abandons Israel because it won't accept redrawn boundaries in a two state solution, from where will Israel then get its weapons for self defence?
There was a two state solution in 1948, but the Palestinians never accepted that, so they probably won't accept it today.
Your ignorance of history is boundless. Something like 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes in 1948. Why would, or should, they accept a solution that normalized and approved that? Would Australia? Would anyone?

Looks like the perpetual war continues...no solutions possible.
Not if you take subjugation of Palestinians as a starting point.

Relocating Palestinians to other Muslim Arab nations would not be genocide.
No other Arab Nation would take them unless Hamas is wiped off the earth.
What makes you think the Palestinians would accept the mass deportation from their homeland? They are already pissed about the part they were expelled from in 1948. The only reason to think that deporting Palestinians is a "solution" is if you do not think they matter as human beings at all.

The real reason Arab nations would not accept the arrangement even if Hamas did not exist is the cultural destruction of the Palestinian people is not in their interest, and would be stabbing the Palestinian population in the back.

But you think expelling Jews from the same area would be. It may be your understanding of the term is at issue.

Don't like my solutions?
What are yours?
Not simplistic ethnic cleansing that would solve nothing. When China conquers Australia and sends your worthless ass to whatever country will take it, would you consider that solution? Why should ejecting the Palestinians from their homes be acceptable to them?

The news is good, to be sure. 
I think that is as close as you can come to admitting we have under Biden a fundamentally strong economy with an inflation problem. I will have to take it..
Quote
still a long way to overcome the Biden inflation and get back to lower interest rates.
It is "Biden inflation" in the same way it was "Trump unemployment" in 2020.

The problem with touting the performance today of the Dow is that the index contains just 30 stocks.
Most of them represent old money.
Over the past 4 1/2 years, it is up 41%, while the S&P (new money)has risen 68%; the gap reached 30 percentage points last month. The Dow has remained that far behind.
LOL. So that is the take your right wing web sites are relying on? "Sure the Dow is performing well under Biden, but the S&P is doing even better"!

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), announced today it is committed to raising a minimum of $5 million  from its donors and from its RJC Victory Fund super PAC to help elect former President Trump in his November White House rematch with President Biden.
Thank you for bringing the shocking and unprecedented news of a Republican organization raising money to support the Republican candidate for president to our attention.

Who is complaining?  But think about how fast our markets would have recovered has DEI and ESG bullshit never existed.
That... is nonsensical and unrelated. Perhaps you were responding to some other post?
I bet you can figure it out.
What I have never understood is your inability to just say, "oops."

Hamas as an organization has no right to walk on this earth.  Nothing positive will occur if it survives. A fact that most, if not alll, of the Arab world agrees with.
Sure. But they do and they will continue to do so and be a power to be reckoned with. And military attempts to wipe them out will not work. It is already failing. Just ask the Palestinians not flocking to replace them in post war Gaza.

I suspect Hamas would be fine with that set up. A never ending insurgency, a steady source of targets and essentially a daily recruitment video.

There is a reason Israel wants nothing to do with any of that.

What US should be saying to Israel, regarding freeing the hostages and wiping out Hamas...

"Go get 'em"!
No, we should be telling them their current course of conduct will accomplish neither. Diplomatic blank checks are a bad idea. Just ask Wilhelm II.

But it will accomplish both.

N9, it will not. The hostages that have been freed have only been freed in the type of prisoner swap Hamas has always agreed to through diplomacy. And everywhere Israeli troops have been but currently are not, Hamas has returned.

Which means that Hamas is much of the people.
The borders will need to be sealed, all the tunnels destroyed, the whole of Gaza flattened to bare earth, and every one of the people disarmed.
Then if a two state solution is proposed, the Palestinian state must be run and secured by Israel so that history doesn't repeat itself and Hamas or other Islamic terrorists take over the new Palestinian state.
Or a UN army runs and secures it.
Nakba is the Palestinian's daily reality for the last 76 years. A second one will change nothing.
