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…

@9VD6K7V6mos6MO
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.
@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
@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).
@B46V7MRLibertarian3wks3W
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.
@B3YW9624wks4W
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.
@9V5ZSM77mos7MO
The government should support a full ceasefire of the genocide happening on the Palestinian population by the Israeli military
@9V4V9BF7mos7MO
No, Palestine deserves to have their land back since it was theirs to begin with.
No, dismantle the Israeli occupation and free Palestine
@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.
No, Israel should stop committing genocide, and Palestine should be given back its land.
@9TPPX3Q7mos7MO
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?
@9TFZDRM7mos7MO
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.
@9T6X9HJ7mos7MO
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.
@9T6GQ6F7mos7MO
I support a United Socialist States of the Middle East with the working class, Arab and Jew alike, in power.
@9S8JJDL8mos8MO
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 Democratic8mos8MO
No, I support a one-state solution: the Palestinian state.
@9RC9XH4New Democratic9mos9MO
No, Israel is a settler state and should not exist.
@B2S35ZYConservative2mos2MO
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
@9T7LR7S7mos7MO
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.
@9VCS9JD6mos6MO
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
@9M789RR11mos11MO
Israel shouldn't exist and Palestinians should get all their land that belonged to them back.
@9LKJF5912mos12MO
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
@B4J3D6J4 days4D
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.
@B4HS26P5 days5D
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.
@B4G7PRW1wk1W
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.
@B4DK4XN1wk1W
No, Palestine should be given back all of their land and extensive reparations & the Israeli state should be abolished.
@B48YRW22wks2W
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 Democratic3wks3W
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.
@B3YJGZH4wks4W
Israel should not have right to colonized and unceded land, this question should be answered by colonized Palestine
@B3T4YY5New Democratic1mo1MO
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.
@B3PYW9C1mo1MO
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.
@B3KFQF61mo1MO
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.
@B3DBHK61mo1MO
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.
@B2W3NVZ2mos2MO
No, I think neither Palestine nor Israel should be states. They need to return to being territories of a Christian empire.
@B2VR8MG2mos2MO
not my country not my buisness. how are we supposed to have an accurate understanding of what should happen there being so far removed
@B2QWPLF2mos2MO
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
@B25LX3V4mos4MO
Yes, but I know it's absolutely unrealistic as both sides have demonstrated an unwillingness to co-exist.
@B23DHJV4mos4MO
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
@9ZYSZHV4mos4MO
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 Democratic5mos5MO
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.
@9ZJ56425mos5MO
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.
@9ZGGXJ65mos5MO
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 Democratic5mos5MO
Israel should be integrated into Palestine and all Israelies and Palestinians should be considered Palestinian.
@9YKGRZB5mos5MO
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.
@9XJ225M5mos5MO
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
@9W9DFQ3Conservative6mos6MO
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.
@9W2JC3R6mos6MO
One state solution with equal rights of Palestinians and Israelis - a two state solution cannot exist when Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians
@9VWTJQ66mos6MO
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.
@9VW59ZN6mos6MO
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.
@9VGGMWSConservative6mos6MO
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.
@9TQT6NC7mos7MO
I support a one state solution made up of a binational state containing both Israelis and Palestinians
@9TH4SPWConservative7mos7MO
Why do Canadians need to weigh in on this? I don’t think it’s any of our business.
@9TDY6LB7mos7MO
No, we can live together in one democratic and secular state.
@9TCHTQYNew Democratic7mos7MO
Yes, and Israel should pay reparations for the damage they inflicted on Palestinians
@9SW5R6B 7mos7MO
Yes, but first eliminate the terrorist group Hamas.
@9SL7F3M8mos8MO
Right now the government should Stay out of it (but support Israel’s right to self Defence).
@9SKWLRJ8mos8MO
Only if Iran and all of its proxy groups are unable to control the new Palestinian State.
@9RQNPMR9mos9MO
It is a mess and generations of hate encouraged by the political machinations of other countries. The only workable peace could come from the younger generations deciding enough is enough and opting to work together for the future.
@9RPNFCW9mos9MO
No, as the Palenstinians will never accept a peaceful outcome. They want war, they want the total destruction of the Israeli state. Isreal should reclaim all of its land from the Arabs.
@9RKXXXJ9mos9MO
Yes. As long as Palestine lays down their arms & stops starting wars with Israel
@9RJN3HS9mos9MO
But only if Palestine is not governed by Hamas or some other terrorist group
@RusticReagentLibertarian 9mos9MO
Palestine is so unstable that a split from Israel is not wanted.
@9RCSWCH9mos9MO
no, the land should be returned to the indigenous palestinian people. the israeli state should be abolished.
@9RCQ4NM9mos9MO
I support a single state with equal rights for all, similar to how South Africa is now one state instead of racially segregated Bantustans.
@9RC97PLNew Democratic9mos9MO
Yes, but only as a stop-gap between full integration as a single country granting full rights to Palestinians. A two state solution will prolong animosity in the long run.
No, one state solution with equal rights for Jews, Muslims and Christians
@9QYHT2W9mos9MO
They can figure it out themselves. Keep religious wars between those fighting them.
@9NHP5N910mos10MO
Only if the Palestinian state isn’t run by terrorists or any organization that doesn’t acknowledge Israel’s right to exist
@9MYNRMN11mos11MO
I support a secular 1 state solution with universal rights.
@9MW8Y2BConservative11mos11MO
no, nobody on planet Earth would like to share their house with thieves.
