The two state solution will never work. After this conflict, neither side trusts the other enough to share borders any longer. Israel thinks they're stopping terrorists, but in the process they're inspiring hundreds more.
A neutral body needs to step in and end the Apartheid state in Israel. Equal rights and protections need to be given for Palestinians, they deserve equal representation in government, and democratic elections need to be held that can be audited by the international community.
Dissolve the Israeli military and set up an international peacekeeping force in the region for at least 10 years. After that, they are allowed nothing more than a self defense force. Codify it into the new constitution that they cannot make any expansionist movements from that point on.
I don't think that would work much better to be honest, because the groups would still hold resentment against eachother for a long time after. I fear it'd end up like what often has happened in post-colonial states with borders arbitrarily drawn by outside powers, where power struggles follow ethnic lines and frequent civil wars involve genocide. If an outside power even could impose that (and one should consider that Israel is almost definitely nuclear armed), then that power could also set up two or more states and enforce a buffer between them, or with power sufficiently balanced between the two sides as to deter full scale war.
The day the Palestinians puts down their weapons will be the day peace begins. The day Israel puts down their weapons will be the day all Israelis are massacred. That is the difference between the two sides - coexistence vs "from the river to the sea"
The west bank Palestinians didn't seem to be armed please do explain why there are colonists and checkpoints popping up all over their land?
Peace will not come from israel, only destruction. They are Nazi's expanding their lebensraum for their "chosen people".
yeah nobody calls to "step in and end" anything for a sovereign country. Good luck trying to "step in" to China, Russia etc. Same for Israel. If you want to dissolve the military then you are welcome to go over there and give it a try.
Don't need to do much else than step back and wait. The israeli military is entirely dependent on western aid.
As a Jewish person who was able to escape antisemitism in Russia in the 1980s, the state of Israel should not exist. There shouldn’t be a Jewish state.It was taken away from Palestinians and given to Jews in order to keep Jewish refugees from ending up in England and the U.S. Its birth is based on antisemitism and is perpetuated on antisemitism. U.S. Christians are trying to fulfill the end times prophecy. They want us to be sacrificial lambs.
You can have a Jewish state or a democratic state, but you can't have both.
