    Don’t get me wrong I’d love a two state solution or really any solution where they stop killing each other. But in order for a two state solution to happen, you need both sides to agree on the borders, and good luck with that.

      I would love a solution in which they both integrate into one state with equal rights… I know it sounds impossible

          Well one side is a lot more eager to kill the other. Meanwhile, the other side has just been trying to defend themselves and get their homes back for 70 years.

      Just remind the Israeli government who holds the biggest stick and which hand feeds them.

        Reminder that the UN has tried to implement the two state solution before but the Arab side said “No we want all of it”

          Black South Africans wanted the entire country too. That Mandela guy sure was radical about that

          The UN is the one that caused this problem by giving away land other people already lived in to Zionists. And rarely has Israel had any good faith in the negotiations. They’ve generally picked terms that were extremely one-sided to avoid a two-state solution. It’s why they supported Hamas in the first place. Israel doesn’t a sovereign Palestinian state. They want all the land, and their attempted offerings have always had that with them getting way more land, refusing right to return for Palestinians, and keeping de facto control over their territory and people. During one negotiation, even the US negotiator said they wouldn’t take the Israeli offer if he was in the shoes of the Palestinian leader at the time.
