Broadly speaking, there are 3 possible paths forward wrt Israel-Palestine:

1. One-state solution

2. Two-state solution

3. No-state solution

The ideal version of option 1 would be a neutral, benevolent ruler. This worked well enough under Roman, Ottoman, and British control of the region, but feels unrealistic in the year 2023, as Britain and the US and other countries no longer have the moral authority, power, or competence necessary for this. Not to mention the fact that neither Israel nor Palestine would readily give up their national sovereignty.

The more realistic version of option 1 is Israel continuing to rule over a single apartheid state, which clearly has not been working too well.

Option 2 is the most realistic, favorable option at present. Let Palestinians rule over themselves. Let Israelis rule over themselves. However, this option has been on the table for decades, and the devil is in the details (ie. Who gets what?)

Option 3 is the dissolution of statehood altogether via #Bitcoin and the rise of the sovereign individual. This option seems entirely unworkable and unrealistic, but is more feasible now than it has been at any time in the past.

Which is the right way forward?

If two state solution is overly optimistic, option 3 is a daydream - even if a beautiful one.
