"I hope the best for it and see they let go of their positions and compromise. But looking at two options is stupid Brexit or Remain :D. "

You do know that Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, The West Bank and the Gaza Strip do not have the right to vote in Israeli government elections? Nor have the right to leave the country without special state approval? In fact in East Jerusalem and The West Bank only Jews get a vote (no Jews live in the Gaza Ghetto). |

Over time, if there is some land, anywhere, where Palestinians had adequate space, and infrastructure and potential for agriculture and business, they ultimately wouldn't care about the geography.
The problem is nobody wants to give them this land or support and their obvious starting point is the land where they and their parents and grandparents lived. |

Correction, no Jews are allowed in Gaza all Jews were made to leave in 2005. And the Hamas charter talks about driving the Jews into the sea (not the lsraelis; but Jews. ''Al Yahud''

In all honesty can you see the ultra Orthodox Jewish right wing Zionists who continually disposes Palestinians of their lands and build fortified settlements across The West Bank ever allowing the people they persecute on a daily basis equal civil rights? I am sorry to say I cant, however I could see them arrive at their own final solution if the world stops watching them. ![](/icons/s/sad.gif) |

Fair point. Extremist Palestinians have done a lot wrong. Terribly wrong.
Has Israel? |

A 2 state solution was offered by Israel to Yasser Arafat and the Palestinians in peace talks in the 1990's. Yasser Arafat and the Palestinians rejected it. If they rejected it before what makes anyone think they would accept it now? Other solutions and options need to be looked at.
Many Arab countries in the region are now seeing Israel as an ally and not an enemy in the face of the growing threat from Iran so dynamics in the region are changing. |

No I can't but , if America threatened to cut support they might have to !
I see the Jewish right wing as no better than Hamas or Isis ! The same as I view Comunism and Fascism !

So lets get this strait your correcting me...
I said no Jews live in the Gaza Ghetto and you say this is wrong because no Jews are allowed into Gaza (expect for the ones in the tanks who go in to kill Palestinian children, and the ones in the planes that bomb hospitals, and the infantry and military engineers who go in to demolish peoples homes). And somehow you seem to think that the people the Jews of Israel have done this to for 70 years are the ones in the wrong. I know you are a supporter of the Jewish State, but cant you see that if you treat people that way for generations (remember there are now at least 3 generations of adults who have grown up under Israeli oppression) they will hate you and want to destroy you totally. |

A one state solution can be either apartheid where only isrealis get to vote and arabs and Palestinians dont get a vote.Or Everyone gets to vote and the Israelis are no longer in power.Isreal will choose neither one state or 2 state and keep it as it is. |

"The two state solutions the only way forward. Even the israeli leader admitted this, the worry now is that he'll feel free to roll back if Trump lets him."
Although i a gree there is one problem it legitimises terrorism and gives isis the hope that if they kill enough people eventually they get there way |

As the Palestinians outnumber the Jews they are likely to elect a Palestinian government, I wonder how the Jews would feel about that? |

"Many Arab countries in the region are now seeing Israel as an ally and not an enemy in the face of the growing threat from Iran so dynamics in the region are changing. "
No they don't!
The Sunni Salafists (who include all the Islamic Fundamentalist Jihadists) see Israel as blasphemy to be totally erased. However they consider Shia Islam to be an even greater blasphemy as they consider Shia's to be apostates and they believe it is the holy duty of all true believers to kill all apostates. If they can get the 'great satan' (USA) and its Jew blasphemy on Arab land to destroy the Shia stronghold that is Iran so much the better. That Trump is so ill-informed and so easily manipulated into siding with the very people he is so determined to destroy is very disturbing. One has to wonder has anyone explained the realities of the Islamic schism and how it effect regional politics in the Middle East or exactly who is who there? Or is this another case of Donny don't want to hear it, "get them out of here!" |

I'd say 2 states, but all religious and military/economically crucial areas must be joint run - eg, these would be semi-autonomous areas within the two states, the expenditure of maintaining all religious/historical sites and maintaining the services in these areas would have to be split 50/50.
Also, one main military base shared between the to nations - basically to try and checkmate them both and force co-operation.
Complicated, but better than shelling innocents and provoking terrorist attacks. |

They could level it and put a McDonald's a costa and a subway on it, then they wouldn't have to fight over it.
Or tell Trump he can build a hotel on the site and it will be levelled by Thursday lunch time! |

The rest of the world would chip in cash. Who chips in the land and the location is probably harder. |

ok try this for size . . and I stand to be corrected . I grew up being taught that Britain is the root cause of the middle east problems between the Palestinians and the Israelis.. Palestine, at that time was under British rule. Britain. after the war created the Jewish state of Israel taking land from Palestine.
Was anyone else taught this?

It was down to saying whatever they had to keep both the Arabs on board against Turkey and Jewish financing on board against Germany. WW1
They promised the the same land to both groups. Oops.
After WW2 with rising terrorism in the area the UK wriggled out with UN "proposing" the formation of The Israel, for which there was naturally much sympathy in the West. However, that had consequences because somebody was going to lose their land...
As ever, short term political expediency causing long term problems.
The UK certainly made an awful lot of money out of slavery. Not the state directly, but private companies and individuals. I don't think that's a particularly controversial take.
Very open to different views of either. |

So that would be "Palestine" then? Look on a pre-war map and the whole area was called Palestine..... And lots of Jews already lived there, together with many Palestinian Arabs.
There was already a one state solution...that state being Palestine.
Judaism (being a Jew) is a religion. Post WW11 a guilty west decided to create a Jewish state......there is quite a similarity with ISIS wishing to create an Islamic state!
And the tin lies a MAHOOSIVE PROBLEM......no I don't know the solution! |

Winston Churchill became colonial secretary in January 1921. The Middle East was now his. His responsibilities were enormous. He was in charge of drawing the map of much of the Middle East.Churchill's scheme was, in effect, to establish a series of pro-British client monarchies, all of whose rulers would owe Britain a debt of considerable gratitude simply for the fact that they were in power at all.Churchill made his mistakes, of which the most enduring was his failure to establish Kurdistan, a state for the Kurds, among the other new nations.Most of the results of this grandiose remaking of the map of the Middle East have remained till this day: Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Palestine(Israel). |

Churchill had one of the most fascinating lives of the 20th century. I would highly recommend anyone reading any of the many biographies of his life. He has so many different careers in politics, journalism, the military. His time at the heart of government and his years in the wilderness. A very interesting character. |

"Which is more likely to bring peace to both the Israelis and the Palestinians?" .
Sadly I belive nether will bring peace, it's a concept beyond reality, the reality is both sides hate the fucking guts of the other side, both sides wish to see the extermination of the other, they both want the land the other has, they both have completely diametrically opposed religious views.
The best solution is probably the one we have today and that's very sad |

We did not cause the problems in the Middle East and especially Palestine, in fact if you open your minds just slightly you will all realise that the Arabs have been using religion as an excuse to murder and enslave each other and anyone else they can lay their hands on since the dawn of history!
Just to be clear, what the fuck do you all think The book of Exodus is about? And exactly who do you think Ahasuerus (named in the Book of Esther) was? Let me give you a hint, there have been a number of films made about his fight with one Spartan king at a place called Thermopylae!
Now I understand that we British believe that the sun moon and stars shine out of our arses. And that we have given the world everything. But like it or not we haven't, and the records show Arabs have been killing each other since the Bronze Age and probably since the Stone Age! ![](/icons/s/rolleyes.gif) |

" Yes i know weve all been killing each other since the begining. Alexander the great had a hard time taking Gaza in 323 bc .It took 3 attempts .Nothings changed there then.
Churchill did draw all the straight lines on the map though unifying some dividing others.This map is the one we've got.Its the unholy land thats the problematic area.The crusaders and all the semetic people and arabs have shed blood in the desire to have Jerusalem.
