Do you support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

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…

Israel is an illegitimate state built on apartheid ideology. I support a free, self-determined Palestine where (formerly Israeli) Jews and Palestinians can coexist.

 @9JSGBK9from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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

 @9KY7DCBfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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).

 @9V4V9BFfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

No, Palestine deserves to have their land back since it was theirs to begin with.

 @9TTDV9Ffrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

I support a unitary secular, socialist, Palestinian state.

 @9T6X9HJfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

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.

 @B2S35ZYConservativefrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

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

 @9T7LR7Sfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

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.

 @9VCS9JDfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Israel took Palestine. it is Palestinian land. Palestine will be free!!!

 @9M789RRfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Israel shouldn't exist and Palestinians should get all their land that belonged to them back.

 @9LKJF59from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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 from Ontario  answered…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.

 @9L7B9YKfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No, the Israeli's are terrorists who violently stole the land from Palestinians as violent settlers

 @B4G7PRWfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

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.

 @B2W3NVZfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

No, I think neither Palestine nor Israel should be states. They need to return to being territories of a Christian empire.

 @9ZNXMHSfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

...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.

 @9ZJ5642from Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

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.

 @9W2JC3Rfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

One state solution with equal rights of Palestinians and Israelis - a two state solution cannot exist when Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians

 @9VWTJQ6from Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

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.

 @9V79QX4from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

One post colonial, secular nation where both palestinians and israelis have equal rights

 @9TZBCQNfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

no, Palestine should be its own free country as it was before Israel came to be

 @9TVPNXWfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

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.

 @9TVBQKBfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

No. Palestine should be free. Israel has no right to exist.

 @9TRY8FJPeople’sfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

I support a one-state solution in favour of the Israeli side and the expulsion of all Moslem Arabs from Israel's borders.

 @9TQT6NCfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

I support a one state solution made up of a binational state containing both Israelis and Palestinians

 @9NHP5N9from Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Only if the Palestinian state isn’t run by terrorists or any organization that doesn’t acknowledge Israel’s right to exist

 @9MW8Y2BConservativefrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

no, nobody on planet Earth would like to share their house with thieves.

 @9QVT6N3from Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

One state, neither Israel nor Palestine, should have Arabic and Hebrew as official languages and recognize Islam, Christianity and Judaism as official religions. Protect holy sites.

 @9NQ4FYDNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

An united democratic democratic state consists all residents of the Palestinian region regardlessly.

 @9MGKJW2Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

If the Palestinians are willing to form an equitable and democratic society. Otherwise no.

 @9KLT7LCRhinocerosfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

It depends on the specifics of the suggested solution.

 @9KFNCCNfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

There should be a two state solution, where palestine is protected by a coalition of middle eastern countries. And Benjamin Nethanyahu's cabinet should stand before an international tribunal for commiting genocide and war crimes. Those found guilty should not only be removed from office, but receive the death penalty. Which I am normally against, but promote for any and all government officials complicit in genocide, and war crimes.

 @9MHCRJ2from Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Yes but this solution always get blocked by the Palestinian themselves

 @B35PD2Qfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

very complicated. Assuming both sides agree then Yes to a two state solution. certain areas of high conflict "such as Jerusalem" should be controlled by the UN. Normalizing relations between Israel and Arab states is also a huge priority.

 @9LVRV7Kfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

I support neither, for I am not a member of either religion

Supreme Court Clears The Way For Trump Sentencing

Donald Trump will face sentencing over his New York “hush money” conviction on Friday, after the US Supreme Court declined to grant him a last-minute reprieve.The decision will force the president-elect to face public proceedings in the criminal case that he has fought strenuously to avoid. His lawyers had appealed to the high court on Wednesday to postpone the proceeding, claiming that allowing it to go ahead days before his inauguration would create a “constitutionally intolerable risk of disruption to national security” and interfere with his efforts to get his 34 felony convictions overturned.In a 5-4 decision handed down just hours before the sentencing was set to go ahead in a state court in lower Manhattan, a majority of the justices declined to do so, saying “the burden that sentencing will impose on the president-elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial” especially as Trump was unlikely to face any prison time. They added that any issues with the evidence presented at trial — some of which Trump’s lawyers have claimed was inadmissible — “can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal”.Trump-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberals on the bench in refusing to grant Trump’s appeal.Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he appreciated the Supreme Court’s time but vowed to continue fighting the case. “For the sake and sanctity of the Presidency, I will be appealing this case, and am confident that JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL,” he said.Lawyers representing Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Trump’s sentencing was repeatedly postponed while he mounted his third campaign for the White House and pursued various appeals against his conviction. Last week Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the “hush money” trial in New York earlier this year, finally set a firm date, in order to bring what he called “finality to this matter”.Trump will probably not face any punishment when he is sentenced, however, as the judge previously indicated he would not impose a fine or condemn Trump to prison time.

Chaos in Europe: Germany’s Government Collapses As Trump Returns

Germany’s coalition government collapsed on Wednesday after Chancellor Olaf Scholz sacked his finance minister Christian Lindner, plunging the eurozone’s largest economy into political chaos hours after Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.Scholz told reporters he would table a confidence vote in parliament on January 15, which most observers expect him to lose. That will pave the way for snap elections in March.Lindner’s sacking and the departure of his pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) from the government brings the curtain down on a deeply unpopular coalition that had become a byword for discord and acrimony.It leaves a void at the heart of Europe just as concern is growing in EU capitals over what a second Trump presidency will mean for transatlantic relations.Germany and the rest of Europe now face a long period of uncertainty they can ill-afford as they brace for a trade war with the US while trying to fend off a growing economic threat from China.In a blistering statement delivered in the chancellery, Scholz blamed Lindner for the breakdown of the government, calling him “selfish” and “irresponsible”. He said he “cared only about his own clientele and the short-term survival of his own party”.The trigger for Lindner’s dismissal was a dispute over next year’s budget. The three coalition partners — Scholz’s Social Democrats (SPD), Lindner’s FDP and the Greens — could not agree on how to plug a €9bn hole in spending plans ahead of a meeting of parliament’s budget committee next week.However, the conflict became overlaid with deeper ideological divisions over how to deal with Germany’s economic downturn and how much public debt the government is legally allowed to raise.Scholz said he had asked Lindner to agree to loosen Germany’s “debt brake”, a cap on new borrowing which is enshrined in the constitution and which the SPD and Greens have long wanted to reform.That would have allowed Germany to take on more debt and so boost its support for Ukraine, at a time when fears are growing Trump might cut aid to Kyiv once installed in the White House.Scholz said he had also proposed capping network charges to bring down energy prices for industrial companies, creating incentives for businesses to invest, and passing a package of measures to safeguard jobs in the car industry, which faces more competition from China.

Trump’s Puerto Rico Problem Erupts in Pennsylvania: Latino Voters Fire Back

Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem — in Pennsylvania.Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state’s Latino voters, particularly nearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent.Evidence of the backlash was immediate on Monday: A nonpartisan Puerto Rican group drafted a letter urging its members to oppose Trump on election day. Other Puerto Rican voters were lighting up WhatsApp chats with reactions to the vulgar display and raising it in morning conversations at their bodegas. Some are planning to protest Trump’s rally Tuesday in Allentown, a majority-Latino city with one of the largest Puerto Rican populations in the state.And the arena Trump is speaking at is located in the middle of the city’s Puerto Rican neighborhood.“It’s spreading like wildfire through the community,” said Norberto Dominguez, a precinct captain with the local Democratic party in Allentown, who noted his own family is half Republican and half Democratic voters.“It’s not the smartest thing to do, to insult people — a large group of voters here in a swing state — and then go to their home asking for votes,” Dominguez said.The timing couldn’t be worse for Trump. Almost a week before Election Day, he’s pushing to cut into Harris’ margins among Latinos, especially young men who are worried about the economy. But the comments from pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchcliffe Sunday night, referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage,” has reverberated throughout Pennsylvania and elsewhere, prompting even the former president’s Republican allies to defend the island and denounce the comments. And with the race essentially a toss up, every vote counts — especially in Pennsylvania.“This was just like a gift from the gods,” said Victor Martinez, an Allentown resident who owns the Spanish language radio station La Mega, noting some Puerto Rican voters in the area have been on the fence about voting at all.
