The two-state solution is a proposed diplomatic solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The proposal envisions an independent State of Palestine that borders Israel. Palestinian leadership has supported the concept since the 1982 Arab Summit in Fez. In 2017 the Hamas (a Palestinian Resistance movement that controls the Gaza strip) accepted the solution without recognizing Israel as a state. The current Israeli leadership has stated that a two-state solution can only exist without Hamas and the current Palestinian leadership. The U.S. would have to take a central role in any talks bet…

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Yes
@9LZLFBD 12mos12MO
Two state solution won't work as Iranian leaders are sponsoring groups who have the primary aim of destroying Israel and by default, that means a massacre of Israelis. They don't want a rwo state solution,.they want to eradicate the Israelis and that sounds like Hitler and Naziism
Israel is an illegal settlement occupying stolen palestinian land while committing genocides, manufacturing famine, building concentration camps and creating scaremongering tactics such as the creation and support of hamas by the israeli government. therefore does not deserve recognition as a legitimate state and all representatives should be tried on multiple accounts of war crimes proven by the millions of videos easily accessible everywhere.
@9LXJJ8Y12mos12MO
A two state solution would still limit Palestinians freedom. There is not enough land for the Palestinians left due to increasing illegal settlements. I believe in a one state solution - the land should be called Jerusalem and everyone should have equal rights.
@9MD3XBD 11mos11MO
Do you honestly think the people of either side would accept that? Israelis would be subjected to horrendous discrimination and violent crime if they had to live together with Palestinians.
Palestine was offered this in the 40s and rejected it. As a result, they began a series of wars on Israel and lost each and every one. Make one state for Israel.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
No
@9M56ZH912mos12MO
Israel has settled on rightful Palestinian land without their consent and has done nothing but terrorize the people of Palestine forcing them into ghetto's and open air prisons whilst treating them with constant distain and cruelty therefor a one state solution in favour for native Palestinians is clearly the moral and only solution.
@9LZLFBD 12mos12MO
Hamas have already said openly they want get rid of the Israelis. This isn't about a 2 state solution, it's about Islamic fundamentalists who want to murder, rape and pillage. Normal everyday Palestinians and Israelis can live in peace but not with hardline murderous Islamic leaders that even Islamic nations neighbouring them shun.
@9LBP2KG1yr1Y
Palestine has always belonged to Palestinians, the Israeli's robbed them of their land, it was never theirs.
@9MS5WY6Liberal Democrat 11mos11MO
Despite Arabs making up almost half of the population of the land now split between Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, a Two State Solution would result in a new sovereign state of Palestine that comprises only 22% of historical Palestine - as stated by Chris McGreal in the Guardian.
No, Palestine should be its own country. Israel has colonised their land so why do Palestinians need to share
@9QFFRT410mos10MO
Only if the state of Israel relinquishes its army and nuclear weapons. Otherwise I support a one-state solution consisting of only Palestine.
@9KR9FBT1yr1Y
I would have before 7th October, but now it is clear that Hamas is baiting Israel to attack them to look like the victims
@B4M7N28 7 days7D
I will never understand how people use 7th October as a benchmark for the conflict, but somehow ignore not only the decades of oppression before hand, but the fact that palestinians had one of their deadliest years in recent times during January 2023 to September 2023, many fatalities of which were in the west bank, where there is no hamas and israel are committing unspeakable war crimes there. To ignore all of that just to acknowledge the 1 attack on israel on the 7th October shows as a humanity we are capable of any atrocity, no matter how progressive things seem.
@B22CRGX4mos4MO
Palestine has had a lot of land taken away from them over history, israel should be a small state like it was and palestine should get all their stolen land back
@9QQ2ZZDIndependent10mos10MO
Given the history and the immoveable ideology of the Palestinian regime there can never be a two state solution. If other Arab Muslim countries truly believed that it was possible they would have acted long before now. If you start a war then you need to know before going into it that you could lose everything.
@B4M7N28 7 days7D
“the immoveable ideology”
It is very ironic talking about 'immoveable ideology', as if the Zionist colonial project sole task isn't to take over Palestine and displace them from their homes since 1897 by Theodor Herzl. Don't forget who is expanding into the West Bank illegally to this day.
Yes, but it may be too late. Israel does not need to exist as a separate nation for any national or historical ties to the region to be valid
@9QKWYWC10mos10MO
Yes, most world nations such as the UK, Russia, China, Germany etc support this decision only the Israeli government and few others want only Israel to be in control.
@9QJMVZB10mos10MO
1 state solution that ends Israeli Apartheid and restores full human rights and citizenship to Jews, Muslims and Christians between the river and the sea
@9QHYCK9Independent10mos10MO
I support a completely free Palestine, residents of Israel should return to Europe and the United States of America
@9QH8XXR10mos10MO
Recognise the genocide and ethic cleansing of Palestinians and hold Israel accountable for its occupation.
My preference is a single state monitored internationally that treats the Jews as a respected religion but not a biological race.
@9QFNFLN10mos10MO
I think palestinians should be able to to return to their homes. Isreal and Palestine is the same thing.
@9QF8L6J10mos10MO
No. The land should be returned to the Palestinian people. The state itself should be overseen by the UN until the fascist and genocidal indoctrination has faded. There should be a single state shared between Arab and Jew. The holy city should remain a UN territory.
@9Q9M86S10mos10MO
Palestine should be it's own state and the 'State' of Isreal should be a part of Palestine, but under devolution.
@9Q8P56TConservative10mos10MO
Yes, it should at least be tried. Ok, historically it's been reputed but surely it's worth trying again to try and stop this genocide.
@9Q7GVG810mos10MO
No one state with equal rights for all citizens Palestinian and Israeli, Jewish, Muslim and Christian
@9PY39ZP10mos10MO
Yes in theory, but it is not feasible with Israel being founded as a settler colonial project which rests on the ethnic cleansing of indigenous people so I do not think supporting it has any merit in practice.
@9PS4Y9510mos10MO
No I believe in the dissolution of an ethnostate and for Palestinians and Israelis to live in one state with equal rights for all
@9V76MZ4Scottish Socialist7mos7MO
No, Palestine should become it’s own state and israel should give the original land back to the Palestinian people
@9TRZHF67mos7MO
I support Palestine. Israel should be abolished as it’s an illegal settlement built on the blood and bodies of the natives who have lived and thrived in Palestine for the past 200+ years. I only support a one state solution - Palestine.
@9T37TT68mos8MO
No, it should be one Palestine that is multicultural and multifaith, as it was before the British came in.
@9SJ74YG8mos8MO
There should be a Confederation between both Israel and Palestine that allows for free movement and the end of Israeli military occupation in Palestine.
@6VG8JZG 9mos9MO
No, Palestine should become the singular state in the region again and serve as a protected territory of the British.
@9R6ZB589mos9MO
Yes with more land for Palestine than Just Gaza and the West bank at least half of the holy city must be part of Palestine
@9R4N93V9mos9MO
No the oppression from israel and what they are doing is a war crime so we must destroy israel but hamas has to stand down
@9QSR6ND9mos9MO
No, Israel will expand even more into the West Bank, leaving the Palestinians in destitute and barren areas.
@9QNGDT510mos10MO
Palestine deserves to be acknowledged and treated globally as its own independent state, with the same rights that countries like Israel have access to — particularly foreign aid for when atrocities are committed on their soil. Free Palestine.
@9QKM8DH10mos10MO
One democratic state with one person one vote the two state solution is a smoke screen and a delaying tactic and with illegal settlements is almost impossible to implement
@9PGCXYY10mos10MO
Palestine is the country. Israel is an occupying force. They have disregarded the original two state solution that created Israel and Palestine.
@9M6SKGP12mos12MO
No, Israel is a vestigial relic of Britain, France and the US's colonial hegemony, and its further colonial activity is an affront to any notion of civility. Israel is a colony that should be returned to Palestine.
@9M4TBXM12mos12MO
No, I support the liberation of the Palestinian people and support their choices, Israel continue to build illegal settlements and denying a two-state solution
No, I only support a free Palestine and end to illegal occupation and Zionist apartheid
@NKHistory 1yr1Y
No, and the Palestinian Authority should be eliminated
@9KGWCNV1yr1Y
No, Isreal is not a state but an occupying force and should be disregarded as a failed western experiment in colonisation.
Palestine was the original country and should return that way as Isreal is a white supremist colonialist settlement aka Zionism which most Jews are against due to the fascist ideology Zionism is.
@9JXLSQC 1yr1Y
No, Palestine should be handed back in full to the people of Palestine and protected from any illegal occupation
Yes, and the West should recognise a Palestinian state and stop supporting Israel until it begins making progress towards one.
@9JLWYZY1yr1Y
Palestine should no longer be oppressed and the west should not support oppression from either side. Instead helping to resolve this issue
@9P6LYBDConservative10mos10MO
Yes, Israel was a construct by the US government to give Jewish people a "homeland". 2 countries should exist Palestine and Israel, and neither should have their current leadership in power.
@9N7QHC9Animal Welfare11mos11MO
Do whatever it takes to shut Israel down. It is not a conflict between the two, Israel are actively slaughtering children. Hamas has defended itself only twice, and both times the reaction from Israel has been out of control, they have been ordered to stop, and they have ignored, they ignored it and they burned people alive. They burned BABIES Alive.
Israel NEED TO BE STOPPED
@9MTQDVM11mos11MO
I support the abolishing of the apartheid and one state solution which creates the Palestinian state with equal rights and representations for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Isreal is not a place, palestine is the name of the country and it should be free from occupiers. Palestine for Palestinians.
@9MPSQWK11mos11MO
Yes, as it seems to be the only option to be given a sliver of consideration, however, it is still Palestine.
@9MPGKXGLiberal Democrat11mos11MO
Yes, but Palestinians must have the right of return and all land claimed by setters in the Occupied Territories must be returned to the Palestinians. 1947 borders must be returned to the Palestinians if there is to be any hope of a two-state solution.
@9LTFPNB12mos12MO
I believe the Israeli occupation should be eradicated and for the land to be returned rightfully to the Palestinians. Illegal Israeli settlers should return to their countries of origin.
@9LLTW741yr1Y
That would be ideal, but it is unrealistic, just look at Israel's tactics in Gaza and the West bank.
@9LF7GNY1yr1Y
No, sever all diplomatic ties with Israel and support a 1 Palestinian state solution.
@9LDRMDW1yr1Y
I support a democratic marxist federation of local communities across the entire region.
@8SHDQKH 1yr1Y
No, not at the moment. While Israel societally and politically split regarding settlements, Israel has no viable partner for peace. All Palestinian leadership, and all of normative Palestinian society views the eradication of Israel as a fundamental cultural aim.
@9L7TSFF1yr1Y
No and Palestinian land should be returned to their people.
@9L3R5231yr1Y
This is only workable once Israel is hugely deradicalized as a nation.
@9K3NSVT1yr1Y
Ideally, no. Palestinians should not have to settle for a two state solution with the government and people who have displaced and committed genocide against them. Israel would also hold an unequal power against Palestine in any negotiations and agreements.
@9JLQP291yr1Y
For a two-state solution to work, the Israeli government would need to be reformed while any current politicians who support the genocide should be punished accordingly.
@9PZ428Q10mos10MO
No, I support a One-state solution with freedom, democracy and equal rights for all people living between the river and the sea.
One-state solution that dissolves apartheid structures in Israeli law, constitution and society, and invites a right of return for displaced Palestinians. Heavy disarmament of Israeli settlers, disbanding/restructuring of the IDF and concurrent disarmament of Palestinian fighting groups.
@9Q22CX910mos10MO
Palestine should never been given to Israel. It should be the state of Palestine where Jewish people are allowed to live alongside Palestinians as was previously
@9Q2L2G810mos10MO
In theory yes. However, I do not believe that in practice a two-state solution would ever be a satisfactory solution to the belligerents.
@9P5P3BY10mos10MO
The land is historically Palestine's and Israel has illegally invaded, occupied and massacred Palestinians through genocide and apartheid. Israel is a terrorist state that must be dismantled, and all land handed back to the native Arab Palestinians.
@9P2MNVRLiberal Democrat10mos10MO
Yes, but Israel should be forced to return all land stolen with the proviso that Palestine is a true democracy and nobody involved with terrorism is involved in leadership of any part of the country. This should be overseen by The UN .
@B42642X1mo1MO
No, Palestine should be returned to it's pre-colonial colonisation state and should be it's own country again with Isreal not having any right to occupy and continue the apartaid it has been enacting since 1947
@B3ZT9QT1mo1MO
No, I support a one state solution that gives equal rights to all people in the area irrespective of ethnicity
@B3K4TXJ2mos2MO
One state solution ina state which is equal no matter who you are regardless of race, religion etc and regardless of the name of the state/countrie
@B2VRL4CLiberal Democrat2mos2MO
In an ideal world, a secular state similar to lebanon guaranteeing rights to Muslims Jews and Christians while granting autonomy. A 2 state solution will always be inherently worse for the Palestinians.
No the Israeli state is to damaging to the stability of the region and it's continuation will only result in more conflicts.
@B2LKKTX3mos3MO
Tougher than that. Israel should certainly not hold such a dominant position as it does hold within the area of the Levant and the Middle East.
@B2L782T3mos3MO
Palestine should be it's own nation with the Israeli invaders incorporated into their country. The zionist movements of Israel should be completely dismantled and removed from power and co-operative, socialist orented solutions must be found within the new state of Palestine prioritising cohabitation.
@B25CTYP4mos4MO
Support a one state solution of palestine- as the land once truly was- encourage cohabitation of jewish and arabs. eradicate zionism as a force of control and set up a secular way of governance which by elections will be democratically decided by the people in a quadrennial basis.
Yes, but only if it is viable, and the Palestinians are looking for peace. Otherwise it should not be considered if they'll keep on commiting terror attacks against Israel.
@B22684Z4mos4MO
No. Palestine is not a country. I support Israel and the successor to the kingdom of Samara and Juda
@9ZVGNW95mos5MO
No, a two state solution would lead to further conflict down the line. I support a one state solution where Palestinians and Israeli's are free and equal
@9ZSYF9M5mos5MO
All land in Israel should be given back to Palestinians and all Israelis should either be sent back to their home country (often western ones) or provided accommodation in friendly countries.
@9ZS952Y5mos5MO
I support a two state solution but it's not our place to interfere with foreign wars which don't concern us. Nobody from the Middle East cared about the Troubles in Ireland, so why should I care about the Middle East
@9XSXYJY 5mos5MO
As long as terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah are destroyed, and there are is no risk to innocent civilians and everyone's rights are respected.
@9XFDYGT6mos6MO
The region should be placed under a temporary UN mandate to resolve the conflict and restore stability, until which a referendum on the status of Israel and Palestine should be opened to the local population.
@9XCLWPV6mos6MO
In theory I do support but I do not support this stance as it is unrealistic, but other compromises should thoroughly be considered
@9WQKFWK6mos6MO
I believe Israel and Palestine should decide for themselves, whoever wins the war is just how it goes.
@9WMK3SC6mos6MO
I support a one state Palestinian nation, where everyone of Palestinian descent pre foreign Jewish immigration gets to live side by side, no matter if they are Palestinian Muslim, Jewish or Christian or the other minor religions. Everyone involved in war crimes in "Israel" should be kicked out.
@9T92ZMZ7mos7MO
Yes but only if Palestine is not under Hamas and there is better regulation. Hamas must be held accountable for October 7th.
@9Q6VJ4H10mos10MO
Yes, but a condition on the recognition of Palestine should require Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza and allow free and fair elections
I watched Omer Bartov explain why a confederation would be the only option with a differentiation between residency and citizenship. This would not be the perfect solution but it would be a step in the right direction or a different direction at least. a single state with two separate formations of governance
@9SBTMJP8mos8MO
No, but we are tolerant to the two state solution, while we accept and encourage there to be a one state solution so that there is validity in the global system given Israel's actions in the past. Don't encourage a one state solution if Israel apologises now after a demand to apologise and stop the war.
Indifferent as I don’t believe civility will ever be achieved in countries where corruption and religion supersede political democracy
@9R4RSQT9mos9MO
I believe that the people in the Levantine area should unite and live peacefully as they were previously
@9R3D2LPConservative9mos9MO
Nope make isreal an international zone controlled and looked after by the respective religious groups with their own law enforcement. The lands owned by Palestine in the two state solution should be given to their neighbouring nation states and isreal can have whats left over.
@9QWTN5M9mos9MO
No, The Palestibian Authority is clearly not interested in 2 states and has refused every previous offer. Israel under a 1 state is the best thing for the region
@9QRZ5BX9mos9MO
No the Palestinians refused a 2 state solution in 1948 and the state of Israel should remain, giving the control of Gaza to Egypt.
@9QQ4MKL10mos10MO
The land which was stolen from Palestinians, should be returned to them. Modern day colonisation and genocide. Have we learnt nothing from history? Free Palestine 🇵🇸
