Israel-Palestine: Can a one-state solution work? | The Stream

[@SirSX3]

I support a one-state solution, but only as a secular, multiracial, democratic state.

[@xyeB]

This multi racial bs is dumb

[@alexandrostheodorou8387]

And it has to be written in a constitution as such. Thats the only solution.

[@LordDirus007]

Yeah because that definitely works in Lebanon.

[@BruceD1776]

After the U.S. Constitution was written, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin what they created. Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it." The question is can and would the Islamic Arabs and the Jews be willing to "keep it" by accepting and supporting a secular state with non-establishment of religion. I doubt it. There is no solution. There will be perpetual war in Israel-Palestine. Get used to it.

[@Synodalian]

@esphaeraspraestans4212 Unfortunately, practically speaking based on the conditions we are seeing in Gaza and the West Bank _on top_ of the sheer scale of systemic discrimination that Palestinian citizens _of_ Israel already go through, the One Democratic State solution is going to be a ridiculously steep hill to climb unless every member of the UN Security Council or, more potently, the US military itself oversees the restructuring of the entire State of Israel to naturalize Palestinians as _equal_ citizens with Israelis. The amount of tension would be just like it was during the Civil Rights movement when Ruby Bridges became the first ever black American child to attend a former whites-only school in Louisiana. You would literally need _international troops_ monitoring the integration process to prevent all ethnically motivated discrimination and hate crimes from happening on both sides against each other.

i wish there can be harmony, but i dont believe that jews can be a minority in the middle east with equal human rights, there are to many people in the west bank and gaza that want islamic law and hate jews to have it happening, so i think israel should just leave the territories so there can be an independent palestine, oh and by the way the two state solution is possible: settlers existed throgh out history and were pulled out by the millions so that new countries can be made, in algeria alone one million french settlers were pulled out and if the settlers dont want to go out without a fight than israel can simply cut all funds to them cut their water supplies and withdraw the army from them, it is a lie that a solution is "to complicated" all israel needs for a 2 state solution is a vote in the parliment, people say well... the 2 state solution is dead because... i say the british left canada, india, australia, america, guyana, jamaica, south africa, eygpt, kenya and so on, israel leaving the territories is a joke compared to that, the 2 state solution is the best solution for a more democratic and equal society.

It could potentially work. The main issue is immigration. Who gets to decide who can come in. For example, in 1924 the USA stopped almost all jewish immigration. If it hadn't, the US could have had something like 50 million jews now (6 millions who died in the holocaust + their descendants + the jews in Israel) . That would have risked turning the US from a predominantely christian country to a much more jewish country. Conclusion, completely open borders are an illusion, at least in the next 100 years.

Omri basically spewed a lot of complex sounding sentences that left me repeatedly scratching my head, trying to deconstruct & comprehend exactly what the heck he was endeavouring to state………. In the end, I grew frustrated & gave up trying to unpack Omri’s “POV” as I realized it was all straight out of the Israel Playbook = say a bunch of fancy sounding things to look good during debates; but, in reality, actually say nothing at all. This is exactly why NOTHING concrete has ever been achieved & realized by the Palestinian peoples: because the smooth-talking Occupiers, with their fancy language, always make sure the Palestinians are never going to get beyond the fancy rhetoric (aka hot air).

Peacefully? The idea of multi-ethnic state did not work well in the Balkans , to say the least... It doesn't work in Lebanon , or Syria, or Iraq, or Yemen, although in most of these countries the ethnic groups are supposed to be more close to each other than Arabs and Jews. One state solution is a recipe for endless wars. Very bad idea. And to hold a discussion where all participants share the same views, is not a discussion... it is propaganda

[@thevisitor135]

@@oferpresente You should be aware that Yugoslavia only started to break up when Milošević unilaterally attempted to enforce his vision of a Greater Serbia upon the country and brutally repressed other people's autonomy and cultural rights in the process. That is what triggered the war. Ultranationalist extremism bulldozing people's freedom and trying to force them into a Serbian identity they simply did not want, and chances are that if Milošević did not rise to power and did not get to impose his ultranationalist regime on Yugoslavia, the wars would have been prevented and there would not be such a violent breakup in the first place. You are taking exactly the wrong lessons from such conflict. Multiethnic states absolutely can work and thrive if civil and political rights for minorities are strongly protected by law and all segregation and exclusion is dismantled by the government, exactly what a Palestine-Israel Confederation would entail, and civil and sectarian wars are in no way inevitable. They are always precipitated by a series of preventable events.

[@yuvalginbar6054]

This is supposed to be about a one-state solution, but only after 20 minutes out of 25, does anyone start talking about what such a state should look like. And then they run out of time. Very disappointing because that's what I tuned in to hear. Unfortunately, for many on both sides, the one state needs to reflect the history and culture, and fulfil the right to self-determination, of one people while the other is reduced to "citizens with equal rights" - but obviously with no rights as a people. And with neither side having a great record of treating members of the other with respect and equality, even these promises sound hollow. This is what's scaring people, and if you want to convince Palestinians, Jews and the international community that one state is the solution you need to show, in a very practical way, how such a state could (1) be truly democratic and respect all human rights for all its citizens (as well as refugees etc. of course); (2) acknowledge and fulfil the collective rights, and particularly the right to self-determination, of both the Palestinian and Jewish peoples.

I think one state from the river to the sea is an excellent option! The new government should have equal representation of both the Jews and Palestinians. Initial laws and regulations should be drafted by the international community for the new country. Once rules are established, the new leaders can begin to govern and change laws as needed. There should be only even numbers of Senators, Congressman, Supreme Court judges, 2 Prime Ministers, etc. There should be an equal ammount of representation for all bodies of government, for example12 supreme court judges, 6 Jews and 6 Arabs. Sure there may be many deadlocks, they will have to get along to govern. The miltary & security forces should be equal as well. The international community should force Israel to accept this.

I wish this discussion went farther, because that's where the interesting thing lies. I think it's not a waste of time at all to flesh out what one state could look like in real terms. Otherwise nobody knows what they're promoting in actuality. Palestinians could hypothetically hijack Israel's electoral system through a campaign for equal rights, but from their perspective this would force them to have to jump through Israel's hoops so to speak. Of course, the struggle would only begin at that point, but it could be a mobe forward that opens a plethora of political possibilities. Unlike now, when the only possibility is sustained occupation.
