Does anyone actually believe a two state solution is possible in Israel-Palestine?

Palestine was never a 'state'. And it's past the point of compromise. Isreal has a huge army and could wipe out Gaza and take the west bank in a heartbeat. But they don't.

@SW-User Yep and that is why they are doing it slowly. Maintaining appearances is a bitch.

You take something that is already yours. And if they other side wasn't in a holy war against jews peace would be had. @Burnley123

@SW-User That's almost too ridiculous to even argue with but I'll try.

You have the fifth strongest army in the world building state in occupied land against international law and backed by the worlds leading superpower. Let's start with that.

Military occupations are clearly permitted under international law following an aggressive attack by a neighboring state. Under international law until a meaningful peace is achieved and all terrorism against it ceases Isreal has every right to retain military occupation over this area. Since no peace treaty has been reached and terrorism continues with new attacks threatened almost daily, Israel is under no legal obligation to leave. @Burnley123

@SW-User The Oslo accords exists and has been ignored by Israel.

GAZA is not a neighbouring state, legally or in practicality. Look at the one sided death toll, the balance of forces and the history of unforced encroachment by Israeli settlers for even more evidence as tk why this is not about defense.

It's all about defense. The peace agreement was broken when Isreal was attacked. @Burnley123
