I guess he means a state that’s ok with illegal settlements and apartheid treatment.

Why would he mean that?

I think it's more likely that he's idealizing a future where Israel and Palestine forget their history and trauma and suddenly become best buddies who root for each other's success because no one is interested in inflicting any more pain on the other. This is a pointless exercise in imagination but it's probably what he's going for with this statement.

Very charitable but valid interpretation.

Extremely poor choice of a loaded word if so.

Either way, reason to be disappointed with him.

Extremely poor choice of a loaded word if so.

Totally agree. And tone deaf too. I imagine how ridiculous would it be to call for an "American exceptionalist" Canada.

Very braindead to hope for a future empathetic view of the agressor if the aggression hasn't even stopped yet.

Good comparison.

I believe in an independent Canadian state but it must be a MAGA state!
