I’m afraid they can and will find a way … 😢

If you go there and look at the map you will realize a two state solution has been a dream of those who didn’t look at that map for decades.

Pulling those people out of there would be political suicide for the Israeli government, they can’t do it. Settlements sound like a house here and there, but it’s whole communities with universities, hospitals, fire departments, malls, etc. It’s all so extremely interwoven for decades, and yes, it’s getting worse.

They did exactly that in Gaza in 2005 and removed the 8,000 Settlers from 21 settlements. But in the Westbank we’re talking about a number 100 times that. And also, did it bring peace to Gaza?

I’m not saying that I have a solution, but just saying they should have 2-states is wishful thinking in my opinion.

Most developed countries don’t do it either, like he says you can get enough of it from other sources, especially toothpaste.

In Europe, only Ireland, Poland, Serbia, Spain, and the UK fluoridate their water. However, most developed countries, including Japan and 97% of the European population, do not consume fluoridated water. In Europe, only four countries have optional salt fluoridation (Germany, France, Switzerland, and Austria), while the majority have neither fluoridated water nor fluoridated salt.
