I really don't understand why there couldn't be a one state solution for Israel/Palestine. "The Republic of Israel and Palestine."

It works in the US, which has had long wars with it's neighbors and amongst itself. It could be a "mixing pot." My neighbors are both 1st generation Orthodox Jew and Palestinian/Syrian Muslim, and they get along wonderfully

I get there is centuries of animosity and war between these two peoples. It's Biblical. There will never be peace until Jesus' Millennial reign in Jerusalem. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't, or couldn't be attempted

Once I heard a good argument in a yt video.

Israel will/can never accept a sovereign state next to it which goal is to destroy Israel.

A state with an international accepted army named Hamas. No way.

They need another Palestine leadership first which doesn't act like a terror organisation.

You’re misunderstanding “centuries of animosity between these two people” is not necessarily the case. They lived side by side in relative harmony for 100s of years before the state of Israel was formed. The state of Israel *is* exactly the reason a one state solution can not (no longer?) work. The government of Israel will never be able to treat Palestinians as people. Erase the Israeli state and only then do you have a chance at a once state solution - not going to happen.

Unless you travel to Israel/Palestine and see first hand the depths that the Israeli government goes to ensure that the two sides remain separated, check points, harassment, preventing Israelis from even crossing into the West Bank etc. you really can not understand the situation on the ground from watching the news or reading history. The division and animosity is by design. It has nothing to do with individuals or even ethnic/religious groups, but everything to do with politics.

(These are my honest first hand observations from living in Palestine for four years.)

Because it’s not about living only that can happen anywhere

It’s more of who control specific piece of land
