It's probably possible to get an international affair resolved, but forcing them like that's no good.

Superman stopping one country from invading another country is plausible, but there ain't no way that Superman would be able to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict just by forcing their leaders to agree to his peace plan. The people underneath them would see them as compromised and just keep fighting anyway, especially Palestinians. Superman would basically have to spend most of his time hanging out at the Israel-Palestine border enforcing his rule to do anything.
What would Superman's peace plan be anyway? No peace plan would satisfy both sides, Palestinians want Israel gone and Israel wants Palestine gone. Despite intetnational pressure, neither side actually wants a two-state solution. What would the new borders even be? And what's Superman's solution for Jerusalem, one of the most contentious topics?

Okay. So don't let them accumulate tools and work with other powers such that the imperial authority never goes away.

>>149416497

The last legally recognized border? If Superman's feeling fancy he can even dig a bunch of tunnels connecting the broken up territories.
>The people underneath them would see them as compromised and just keep fighting anyway
Okay. And? How would that be any different from a gang war? I'm sure Superman has experience with groups that want to kill each other. Just arrest people that dick around. Palestinian attacks an Israeli, give em to the Israelis. Israeli attacks a Palestinian. Give em to the Palestinians. He'd also probably have to arrest everyone involved in war crimes on both sides and toss em to the Hague to begin.

Not possible, even putting aside that other powers are in direct competition with you for control there is no such thing as perpetually maintaining imperialistic authority. It will wane, whether its a nation or superman. Eventually people will lose respect for the force of arms, whether deserved or not, and begin acting out again. And in superman's case its even easier than a nation because he will eventually have to go deal with some crisis that forces him into absentia or gets hit by a green rock that puts him into a coma for months.
>The last legally recognized border?
Recognized by who's law? One party will legally recognize borders that more favor them or historical precedent over recent changes.
>Palestinian attacks an Israeli, give em to the Israelis. Israeli attacks a Palestinian

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Violent retards need to be threatened to stop causing harm to people by someone more powerful than they are, it’s no different than the concept of having a police force to make sure individuals aren’t allowed to get away with just beating each other to death and taking each other’s shit. Pax Supermanica.

I think at this point most people would prefer that to grifting politicians who are subservient to their donors and just set the people against each other to hold onto their seats on the gravy train without actually doing anything to improve their country or citizens’ lives. I know I would.

palestinians (even hamas) wants a two state solution, they just want to go back to the UN recognized borders (who are heavily in favor of israel anyways) but the jews just chimp out and continue to build illegal settlements while claiming arabs aren't willing to compromise.
Western leftists who think a one state solution is viable are delusional.

All this does is get the other countries to start building up a Kryptonite arsenal to make him go away so they can get back to their normal killing of each other. Basically, once Superman starts escalating world politics, so will everybody else.

Why not? The outcome for such conflicts *always* is the result of superior firepower. You think Israel is running an apartheid state using strong diplomatic arguments? No, its a matter of Force.

The only difference here is that the superior force deciding the outcome is a third party. But its no less legitimate an outcome so long as its ultimatums can be enforced. If Superman made a decree and then fucked off never to be seen again, it would never work, but so long as both sides have to play by the rules or Superman will come back and make them pay for it its no different than actual IRL geopolitics.

There is an easy, fair answer that Israel would absolutely fucking hate. We don't talk about it, but the location of the state of Israel was actually a matter of much debate post WW2. There were a number of places that it could have ended up being, including the United States, Argentina, Madagascar, and I think some place in Norway. Jews managed to swing the debate in favor of giving them the holy land, against the will of the people living there, but you could argue that this was itself an unfair mistake and the inherent source of all of the conflict since. The solution, then, is to *move Israel* and give the land back to Palestine to whom it rightfully belongs.

Now, obviously, IRL this is completely fucking unfeasible. You'd never make it work, the logistics for forcing an entire nation of people to move to another continent against their will is absurd. But for Superman... its really just a matter of finding a good alternate location for them all and enforcing that decision. Moving all of the people by hand would take him maybe a day, and even picking up and moving buildings isn't out of the question for him. They wouldn't be happy about it, but neither are they capable of stopping him and once they have all been relocated to south america or something there's not a lot they can do to undo that population shift.

Israel would love that. They'd just sit and explain how infinite right of return isn't feasible for maintaining a Jewish majority state (which seems neccesary since Arabs keep killing the Jews living in Muslim majority states) and that Paleslimes have all the material and funds they need to build a functioning society where they are right now if only they stopped digging up plumping to make rockets and wasting concrete on building bunkers instead of roads.

The Paleslime would insist that they won't sign any peace deal that doesn't guarantee every Paleslime "refugee" across the entire world the right to return to Israel, even if they weren't born there.

Superman would then laser the Paleslime representative and call for a replacement while the Israeli makes tfw. How many do you think Supes would fry before a fair deal was reached and the Paleslimes were forced to actually try building a society for the first time in 200 years?

Thats not a majority, anon. Thats a plurality. And the plurarity wins is already a flaw of american democracy. US democracy uses the electoral college to trick people until thinking that it represents 51% of the vote, but its just 51% of the electoral college. On a per district and per state level, its plurality wins.
You fix this with something like ranked choice voting, that prunes lowest entry until an actual majority manifests itself. If one doesn't manifest, you vote again. Lots of countries do this if a government fails to form.
