on paper, but it's not going to had. The powers on both sides won't do it, the US won't back it, Iran won't back it. [/B]
That's true that no country has actually put it forward as a solution. But I've realised it is the only long term solution. Look at it this way, imagine the solution put forward for the South Africa apartheid was a 2 state solution!
Also Israel left Gaza, but then US and Israel embargoed it, and Israel completely controlled it, so I don't see how 2 States would be any different.
Could do a combo though, like a viable Palestinain state combined with right of return to Israel or Palestine for Palestinian refugees.
And yes agree Hamas don't help anything with their rhetoric (or their terror attacks), but come on, they're a backward militant group fighting an occupation, so what would we expect.
These kind of terrorist groups (ones only fighting an occupation) have to be ultimately dealt with diplomatically. You can try assassinating all of them, but that will just make them martyrs to the Palestinians.
And as disturbed as they are, I honestly don't think it's their mission to kill all Jews. Or say to lock them up in the Gaza strip.
