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…

@9VD6K7V7mos7MO
A strong counter-argument to the two-state solution is that the current realities on the ground, such as Israeli settlements, make a viable Palestinian state nearly impossible. Additionally, ongoing hostility from some Palestinian factions towards Israel raises concerns about security and the sustainability of peace. Past failed negotiations, coupled with internal divisions within Palestinian leadership, further cast doubt on whether this approach can effectively resolve the conflict.
@9KSKML31yr1Y
Israel is an illegitimate state built on apartheid ideology. I support a free, self-determined Palestine where (formerly Israeli) Jews and Palestinians can coexist.
@9KNP36F1yr1Y
I do not think a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is possible. I support the abolishment of the ethno-state of Israel, and the formation of a new state that provides equal rights for all people regardless of race and religion.
@9JWZHWW1yr1Y
No, Israel has continuously violated any attempt at peace.. The only way for the conflict to stop is by having a free Palestinian state.
@9KY7DCB1yr1Y
No, The land of Palestine should be returned to the Palestinians just as it was before the Zionist migration to their (Palestinians) land, claiming it as theirs (Zionists), and causing trouble amongst the locals(Palestinians).
@9JSGBK91yr1Y
Israel is a terorist state and should be charged with genocide of killing so many innocent children and families with a long occupation for 75 years
@9T6X9HJ8mos8MO
Only if it is done with justice, by implementing affirmative action for Palestinians in order to reconcile with the horrors and harms done to them.
@9T6GQ6F8mos8MO
I support a United Socialist States of the Middle East with the working class, Arab and Jew alike, in power.
@9S8JJDL9mos9MO
Israel is a country built on ethnic cleansing amd genocide, and our country is funding that genocide. There should only be one state, Palestine, and Israel should not exist.
@9S7RNBTNew Democratic9mos9MO
No, I support a one-state solution: the Palestinian state.
@9RC9XH4New Democratic9mos9MO
No, Israel is a settler state and should not exist.
@B2S35ZYConservative3mos3MO
Only if Palestinians officially recognized and Israeli state and the right to exist, and there is a peaceful entity to negotiate with. Otherwise, we should favour Israel only
@9T7LR7S8mos8MO
Theoretically, the two state solution should have been the best solution for both governments. However, with how hostile the current governments of Israel and Palestine are to each other, it does not work in it's current state; it would need reform in order to work.
@B46V7MRLibertarian1mo1MO
The formation of Israel was illegitimate and an act of terror. Since it exists now, the expedient solution would be to remove all support offered to any involved parties including the Zionists and Hamas, and force a resolution, either by peace or by war. 70 years of the west standing next to Zionists and handing them weapons and resources to facilitate Israel's "mowing the grass" has corrupted our souls, done permanent damage in the region, and made the world a more dangerous place.
To this day, the USA pays Egypt and Israel billions of dollars annually to NOT go to war, and that is considered a model for effective peace! Enough is enough.
@B3YW9622mos2MO
No, I don’t support anything to do with Israel or Palestine. I support Canada because I’m Canada. This is my country. I don’t care about Israel or Palestine or what happens or does not happen there. Not my country, not my business. Canada first means Canada first and Canadians only.
@9VCS9JD7mos7MO
Israel took Palestine. it is Palestinian land. Palestine will be free!!!
@9V6JTKN7mos7MO
It was a palestinian country , so obviously palestine & israel shoud be combined and recognised only as palestine
@9V5ZSM77mos7MO
The government should support a full ceasefire of the genocide happening on the Palestinian population by the Israeli military
@9TW98DJ7mos7MO
The two state solution is apartheid and Israel is committing genocide in Palestine
@9TTDYHC7mos7MO
One state, non apartheid solution or israel returns all land and removes all settlers
@9TTDV9F7mos7MO
I support a unitary secular, socialist, Palestinian state.
No, there is only a one-state solution to the apartheid state of Israel.
@9TFZDRM8mos8MO
I think there will never be peace until Israel is completely gone. It shouldn't exist in the first place. Israel shouldn't and should never have been considered a state. They have killed and murdered THOUSANDS if not millions of innocent Palestinians in order to fully take their land and get rid of Palestinians completely. Israel is an apartheid state, they aim to ethnically cleanse Palestine. If the Canadian government is truly sorry for what they did to indigenous peoples in Canada. Then they would condemn Zionism and Israel.
@9V4V9BF7mos7MO
No, Palestine deserves to have their land back since it was theirs to begin with.
No, dismantle the Israeli occupation and free Palestine
@9M789RR12mos12MO
Israel shouldn't exist and Palestinians should get all their land that belonged to them back.
@9LKJF591yr1Y
Israel is country that never should have been made and is currently committing genocide in the Gaza strip against the rightful people of that land the Palestinians
@9KXZ6Y7 1yr1Y
Israel must feel consequences for the damage it has done to Gaza, Palestine, and the Middle East as a whole through the terrorism of the IDF.
@9L7B9YK1yr1Y
No, the Israeli's are terrorists who violently stole the land from Palestinians as violent settlers
@9JZP7TY1yr1Y
Only if the Palestinians agree to recognize Israel and live in peace and prosperity and elect a democratic government
No, Israel should stop committing genocide, and Palestine should be given back its land.
@9TPPX3Q8mos8MO
No, I support one-state solution (called Palestine).
I would prefer if the Palestinian people were given back the land that was stolen from them before anything. Why a two-state solution when the Israeli people have no right to the land?
@B53C8X5New Democratic4 days4D
I support the dismantlement of the state of Israel and a decolonized Palestine, from the river to the sea.
Yes, but the two-state solution is only a reflection of the shortcomings in making a free, safe one-state for all people to live their lives and practice their beliefs in harmony. If this is the only way to end the killing, yes.
@B52HS5D5 days5D
I no longer believe in a Two-State Solution after the actions Israel has taken against Palestine. Palestine should be the priority.
@B4T9VKR2wks2W
No, I prefer a new single state that incorporates both Arabs and Jewish people with equal representation in government and enshrined protection of rights for both
@B4T6RNG2wks2W
A two state was available and now the massive genocide against palastinians have shown that a two state solution is not possible. Palastinians deserve the right to live as all humans are born with this right to live.
@B4T5CGGNew Democratic2wks2W
No - how can you expect Palestinians to live peacefully next to a country that has committed the worst human rights violations against them for 75 years plus!
@B4T27BX2wks2W
I support returning the land back to the rightful indigenous people of the land, allowing palestinians to rebuild and start without the terror of the state of Israel.
@B4SRCFB 2wks2W
Yes, but with a buffer state in between their borders that is occupied by a global military force to protect against further conflict
@B4RH9NZ2wks2W
Israel is a failed state and needs to be dissolved and The Palestinians have their right to self governance restored
@B4QTM2X2wks2W
The 2 state solution seems adequate, but I do not have enough knowledge of the Israel-Palestine conflict to answer this question
@B4Q9BGP2wks2W
I support a 1 state solution, where all people have the same rights and freedoms, similar to South Africa after apartheid
@B4PXQW5New Democratic2wks2W
I believe in a two-state solution however I do NOT believe that the United States should be involved. It's clear the United States is being run by a fool, and his exchange with the President of Ukraine is proof that he should NOT be the mediator between these two countries - and no one in his cabinet should be either.
@B4NZJ7LNew Democratic3wks3W
Israel is an illegitimate state built on apartheid ideology. The only way for the conflict to stop is by having a free Palestinian state.
@B4MY9SD3wks3W
It is a more important priority to cut ties with israel and create emphasis on humanity and the end of bombing and violence towards gaza
@B4M7DZS3wks3W
No, I support a single democratic state for all. Where Arabs and Israelis can live freely, free from apartheid.
@B4LZVWR3wks3W
Free Palestine. Israel is an illegal occupier and genocidal maniac. War crimes. Insane situation and I cannot fathom how Canada is still trading arms with Israel. Total BDS required on Israel.
@B4LXJVM3wks3W
NO. Israel should not impose on Palestine. There is no two-state solution when you have MURDERED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
@B4J3D6J4wks4W
Yes, as long as both the Israeli government/military are charged with war crimes in accordance to the Geneva Conventions for the endangerment of civilians (resulting in injury or death) , destruction of non-military targets, etc.
@B4HS26P4wks4W
Palestinians should be given back all their land and receive significant reparations from the former Israeli state and all the countries that supported the genocide. Israel should be abolished.
@B4G7PRW4wks4W
I support Palestinian self-determination and will support whatever solution the Palestinians support for themselves, but I personally do not believe a two state solution is possible because Israel has been founded on the genocide of Palestinians and has made it clear they will never accept a Palestinian state and Palestinian sovereignty.
@B4DK4XN1mo1MO
No, Palestine should be given back all of their land and extensive reparations & the Israeli state should be abolished.
@B48YRW21mo1MO
A Two State solution in which the palestinian state is supervised for an instance of time to prevent another Hamas-like terrorist group gaining control
@B45XN3LNew Democratic1mo1MO
This has been offered many, many times but the area governed by Hamas continues to utilize terrorist tactics and break ceasefire agreements so we can support it all we want but you can't reason with terrorists.
@B3YJGZH2mos2MO
Israel should not have right to colonized and unceded land, this question should be answered by colonized Palestine
@B3T4YY5New Democratic2mos2MO
While there was a time where a two state solution was ideal, because of the overwhelming and illegal settler project in the West Bank, a two-state solution would in turn force some several hundred thousand people from their homes. The most humanitarian solution is actually a non-religious one state solution, where all its citizens, no matter their background, ethnicity, or religion, would have equal rights under the law. Not unlike the dissolution of the Apartheid South Africa.
@B3PYW9C2mos2MO
This is a very complex issue. Israel has shown bad faith when it comes to offering a fair and viable solution to Palestinians. Israel should be made more accountable for the treatment of Palestinian citizens as they have a long history of mistreatment and abuse towards Palestinians.
@B3KFQF62mos2MO
No, I believe that Israel and Palestine should unite into the Land of God Federation (LGF) and that Israel should rebuild Palestine as well as remove its rampant extremism and terrorism. Both Israelis and Arabs will be equal in the LGF.
@B3DBHK62mos2MO
Palestine should be its own free state and Israel should be recognized an apartheid state as determined by the Amnesty International. Peace comes by placing the Palestinians in powers.
@B2W3NVZ3mos3MO
No, I think neither Palestine nor Israel should be states. They need to return to being territories of a Christian empire.
@B2VR8MG3mos3MO
not my country not my buisness. how are we supposed to have an accurate understanding of what should happen there being so far removed
@B2QWPLF3mos3MO
How are we sure that this won't lead to more disagreements on land borders and places of religious importance. it would most likely result in more fighting
@9X3V5MB6mos6MO
Both states should be dissolved, and a new democratic one should form that acknowledges and enforces equal rights and freedoms for Palestinians and Israelis alike
@B25LX3V5mos5MO
Yes, but I know it's absolutely unrealistic as both sides have demonstrated an unwillingness to co-exist.
@B23DHJV5mos5MO
No I Support A One State Solution For The State Of Israel To Turn Into The Secular Socialist State Of New Palestine Where Jews Muslims And Christians Can Live In Peace And Harmony
@9ZYSZHV5mos5MO
one state solution for palestine, israel is a genocidal state and a threat to the rest of the middle east
@9ZSZJPG5mos5MO
yes, but only settled through open (free from imposition) dealings between both parties. Israel should only begin negotiating when there is no longer a national security threat posed by Palestinian terrorist organizations).
@9ZNXMHS5mos5MO
...Honestly? Both are absolutely horrible, i would split the region among the neighboring countries if they weren't nearly as bad. As it stands, my stance is that we need either a massive restructuring or an entirely new government for the region. One state with two regions to slowly integrate together would be preferable.
@9ZJDSY7New Democratic6mos6MO
I believe they should share the land. Being a two-state solution and/or being two different countries has caused them way too many wars since the first people who settled there.
@9ZJ56426mos6MO
Canada must stop criminalizing dissent against the support of Israeli apartheid. The Palestinian people must have sovereignty over their land. Palestinian territory must be decolonized. The IDF must be disbanded. This is not antisemitism, it's anti-colonialism and anti-nazism.
@9ZGGXJ66mos6MO
I believe that there should be a conflict resolution system where both states are able to agree upon and as for involving other nations, there should be a consequence action taken by both states.
@9YMT6F2New Democratic6mos6MO
Israel should be integrated into Palestine and all Israelies and Palestinians should be considered Palestinian.
@9YKGRZB6mos6MO
I believe both of them are terrorist and wrong, that no one can salvage the situation and that it will end with one or the other dying.
@9XJ225M6mos6MO
No, Palestine should be the only state in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side
@9WHRDPN6mos6MO
there should be one state that encompasses israel, west bank and gaza with all people having equal rights under the law
@9W9DFQ3Conservative7mos7MO
No two state solution. Jordan is Palestine, already exists. The Arabs of Gaza and the West Bank do not have a culture that in any way supports a responsible, productive, peaceful national entity.
@9W2JC3R7mos7MO
One state solution with equal rights of Palestinians and Israelis - a two state solution cannot exist when Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians
@9VWTJQ67mos7MO
I support a 1 state solution, however due to the diversity of the region, it would have less centralization and be more akin to a confederation.
@9VW59ZN7mos7MO
This has been offered repeatedly. Unless these countries stop electing terrorists, there will never be in the Arab world. They just hate Israel, terrorists don’t want a solution.
@9VGGMWSConservative7mos7MO
It doesn't matter what I support. It's up to them.
@9V79QX47mos7MO
One post colonial, secular nation where both palestinians and israelis have equal rights
@9V5W8K77mos7MO
No, abolish Israel and establish a Christian state on the land of Judea
@9V249ZQ7mos7MO
Yes, but only after the demilitarization and deradicalization of Palestinian society.
@9TZBCQN7mos7MO
no, Palestine should be its own free country as it was before Israel came to be
@9TYZTWF7mos7MO
Only Israel rules. No Palestine, no Arabs, and no f... Islam
@9TVPNXW7mos7MO
i support the end of all wars which only takes a strong U.S President to do and has been done during the 2016-2020 election period.
@9TVMPLK7mos7MO
One state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. Abolish the Israeli apartheid.
@9TVBQKB7mos7MO
No. Palestine should be free. Israel has no right to exist.
I support a one-state solution in favour of the Israeli side and the expulsion of all Moslem Arabs from Israel's borders.
One state solution which is equal for both palestinians and jews
Abolish Israel as a state and give Palestinians sovereignty over their own land.
@9TQT6NC8mos8MO
I support a one state solution made up of a binational state containing both Israelis and Palestinians
@9TH4SPWConservative8mos8MO
Why do Canadians need to weigh in on this? I don’t think it’s any of our business.
@9TDY6LB8mos8MO
No, we can live together in one democratic and secular state.
