Again though: National care service, ‘tough choices’ on triple lock, electoral reform, devolution, more public control of utilities, reopening red lines on Europe and (hopefully?) avoiding silly tax commitments is a good & coherent manifesto. But it should have been the 2024 manifesto.
![For most advocates of separation, the answer to this dilemma has been to maintain Israel’s overriding control over the entire territory. This position was detailed in March by Yair Lapid—a centrist Israeli politician—who called for a two-state solution “that consists of a power advantage in our favor, that creates two political entities that are not equal in power, or in value. One is a demilitarized Palestinian state, that is small and dependent on us, and [the other is] a strong Israel that has regained its self-confidence.” But this is no two-state solution at all. Instead, it would leave Palestinians’ lives and livelihoods in the hands of Israeli institutions that have consistently shown flagrant disregard for them. It is a vision of perpetual domination and conflict: the opposite of mutual self-determination and peaceful coexistence.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vlpy6zuqqum5tumv7b6dw5fp/bafkreihl7kltcbhqqwwfmp3nxozvlwkmmtykaekohmibxraod4sphxseh4)
