Edit: Blocked the author's name, because it's not my tumblr. I didn't expect so many people to misinterpret it and respond in this way.

Edit 2: This is not from the same author, but it's a reply to them. I think it might help clarify the post for those that are confused:

I normally don't worry about usernames on tumblr, but since there've been some really out-of-pocket misconceptions in the thread, I don't want anyone to harass them.

I meant politically feasible, (lacks popular and leadership support) not that it isn't a good solution any more. If a two state solution could magically be established, I do think that'd be pretty good, though it'd be really complex and harry.

Conditional protections against consolidation of power would be great. Ranked choice voting while your at it. But making such a constitution seems like it would still need to be externally encouraged, rather than organically from the will of the majority, since I'd think they'd want to keep more power.

But those sorts of protections I think have been that Palestinians have been advocating more recently over a full separation two state solution, right?

But I want to keep in mind that me and most of us are pretty unformed about the challenges. Arbitrary uninformed lines on maps was how we got into this mess in the first place, with the British mandate coming out of WWI in splitting up the ottoman empire and again after WWII. So even though some degree of external solution may be necessary, it needs to be extremely well informed and thoughtful to not blow up again.
