In the run-up to Thanksgiving, Dr. Hudson and I had an email exchange dealing with the woeful Palestine situation. He’s of the opinion that the two-state solution is dead as do most analysts. The reason Russia, China and others continue to voice support is because that’s the current International Law basis for settlement. As discussed, Russia via FM Lavrov has said the reason for the current crisis/conflict is because the many Mandates were never enforced, primarily blocked by the Outlaw US Empire and its EU vassals, along with the Zionists, of course. The key word from Russia, China, and the world is enforced, as in the use of force to make the agreed upon settlement reality. The non-employment of force was completely taken advantage of by the Zionists as the current situation attests and their assumption clearly is that the Global Majority won’t use force to halt the Zionist’s Project, which is the Genocide of All Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, thus arriving at the map depiction displayed by Netanyahu at the UNGA back in September. The Zionists have made no secret of the Genocide they intend to perform, and a very large majority of the Occupied Palestine polity favors Genocide as the solution to their problem of being incapable of getting along with other peoples. Dr, Hudson in jest said a Two-State solution is possible, the difference is the Zionists would also own the second state along with the first. That’s exactly what the Zionists want to attain.
Here’s what Dr. Hudson sent to me:
Well, Karl, what can you comment about the fact that Xi’s advocacy of a 2-state solution is no longer viable. Palestine must be EITHER Palestinian OR Zionist. They cannot co-exist. That has been broken.
How about settling the Israeli’s in Ukraine (a land without a people that they were looking for). I don’t see settling the Palestinians there.

After much thought about this problem and the crisis it poses to Humanity, I formulated the following and sent it to Dr. Hudson for his reaction:
Happy Black Friday! Just saw this note and query. I don't believe Zionists can live with anyone but themselves; they are effectively Anti-Human and consider themselves unique and thus not human. Palestinians have Humanity and are thus able to adapt and accommodate over time, a quality 100% lacking in Zionists. My judgement is based on observations of behavior over decades by both sides. IMO, given the hostility Zionists naturally arouse given their nature, they cannot have any neighbors but themselves, and thus an island state would be best. The problem of course is that all suitable islands are already occupied. It appears the Zionists face a Borg-like submission if they want to continue living--submit to the Collective. But then, being unable to carry out the Zionist Project means one ceases to be a Zionist for one must be a Genocidalist to be a true Zionist. So, effectively, if Hamas and the Palestinians are able to withstand the Zionist Genocidal Project, they continue to exist while the Zionists expire because their Genocidal Project failed. The Zionist Project having failed means Palestine reverts to being Palestinian. Such an outcome would need to be supervised to ensure the former-Zionists don't revert to their past ways. Two to three generations of peace-keeping to allow for readjustment seems minimal. Resources within the region are enough to support a prosperous polity provided equity is dispensed.
But yes, your basic answer is correct. I've just qualified it. There's a way out, but it means a very drastic alteration in basic values by the one group refusing to do so. As such, it must be forced to comply with basic human norms of behavior, which means destruction of the Zionist Project and its false premises. Humanity must come to terms with the need to use force to ensure compliance.
Best,
Karl
His response was terse, which is his norm when not discussing political-economy:
Hah! Great.

Given our previous communications, I take that as an endorsement.
The One State solution is the only possibility now that the two-state is beyond unviable as the Zionists are incapable living in peace with anyone. Pepe Escobar at the conclusion of his recent piece at The Cradle laid it out for what it is:
No mainstream media narrative, no PR move to soften the genocide, no containment of “public opinion turning on Israel” can ever cover the serial war crimes perpetrated by Israel and its allies in Gaza. Perhaps this is just what the Doctor – metaphysical and otherwise - ordered for mankind: an imperative global tragedy, to be witnessed by all, that will also transform us all. [My Emphasis]
The Zionists threaten not just Palestinians but all Humanity with their Anti-Human project that’s endorsed by the Outlaw US Empire and its vassals. In a great many ways, this crisis is almost a repeat of WW2 with Hitler’s Plan Ost calling for the elimination of 30+ Million Slavs, of which a small part of the proportion was Jewish. The actual extent of Hitler’s Plan still isn’t really understood by Humanity despite the original documents having been translated years ago, but obfuscated and buried by the West’s BigLie Media—and why would that be done? And it ought to be clear to those observing closely that the Zionists are allied with all other Anti-Human forces—the WEF, Neoliberal Parasites, and Merchants of Death patrons. Thus, the “imperative global tragedy” must be combated by “us all.” Not necessarily as combatants side-by-side with the Resistance Axis who are doing the “micro-work,” but as advocates on the “macro-global scale” to besiege the Zionists in every possible way and make life intolerable for Zionists everywhere. It took most of the world’s combined effort to aid the Soviets who vanquished the Nazis and destroyed their Project, and it will take the Global Majority’s combined efforts to halt the Zionist Project, provide justice for Palestinians and create the conditions for peace in West Asia that will defeat the Outlaw US Empire’s Project for that region and the world beyond.

Borrell borrowed that garden analogy from Ariel Sharon who, as I recall it. described Israel as a 'Villa in the jungle.'
Monticello was pretty well the same thing.
Borrell’s metaphor of the jungle vs the garden goes beyond its terms. A garden is the exclusion of all life for the inclusion of some life while the jungle is the inclusion of all live and absence of exclusion. This is the thinking “garden” that must die if the jungle, and all life, must survive. Fascists and zionists must be an endangered species and ultimately buried in the past. We might owe to the Ukrainians and Palestinians this burial.
