    The only long term resolution is ending Israel as an ethno-state. It’s a European colony built ontop of another group of people’s land, and it’s not just some regretable historical factoid from the distant past, the colonization is happening as we speak. It shouldn’t be talked about in the past tense because there are literally people alive today who were alive when Israel was first fabricated out of thin air.

    It should instead be a state in which both Israelis and Palestinians have equal rights as citizens. No more apartheid state and treating Palestinians as second class citizens.

    A two state solution, while still better than the current situation, is probably the least likely thing to bring peace. Just go look at a map of Palestinian territory as it is now, it has been divided completely into these territorial islands by the Israelis, the map is Swiss cheese. The Israelis did this deliberately to prevent a state from being possible.
