I believe that the 2 state solution isn't just a solution, it's the only one that can work. Sure there are lots of people on both sides that want peace, but there are too many who hate the other side, that I just can't see 1 fully democratic state form. As an Israeli politician said before, if Israel absorbs the Palestinian territories, it'll either stop being Jewish (Since it'll quickly turn into an Arab majority), or stop being Democratic (Become an official apartheid system).
I blame the hate on religious/ethnic fanatics. I've yet to meet somebody in my daily interactions with Jews in technological areas that thinks of me as a "lesser" person because I'm an Arab, but you can bet I've met some in other areas.
I think Jerusalem should be joint control. |
Yeah people truly forget that the majority of Palestinians/Israelis couldn't give less of a shit about any of this and would opt for a 2 state solution.
Just the same few nutjobs who make it impossible. Regardless of what occurs, I just wish it resolves before I die. Nothing worse than when I go there and have to fucking avoid an armed conflict between some IDF soldiers and people throwing rocksm
