Willingly they chose to be nazis... This was before Israel became a state... The palestinians were nazis and they murdered jews while the germans were murdering jews in europe... After the war, jewish refugees arrived in Israel and the arab nazis began attacking and have been attacking since then until today... You people hate jews because you are nazi sympathisers...

The reason Israel doesn't want a one-state solution is because they desire a Jewish ethno-state with a Jewish majority, this was the reasoning behind the Nakba and the mass expulsion of the Palestinians for the creation of Israel in 1948. In the one-state solution the close to 5 million Palestinians in the occupied territories would become Israeli citizens and there are close to 2 million Palestinian Israeli citizens already living in Israel. Meaning about 7 million Palestinians would be Israeli citizens total. There are currently 7 million Jews currently living in Israel. In addition, there is still racism and discrimination against the Palestinian Israeli citizens within Israel for example with zoning laws similar to Jim Crow. The Jewish nation-state law enacted in 2018 solidifies this Jewish Hierarchy within the Judiciary.

Hey man, please just make sure you remember that when you are talking about Israel you are talking about the government and not the people, the people want peace for all, and yeah there is racism, but it is not different then the racism you see any where else in the world, I have MANY Arab friends in Israel (both Muslim and Christians). Most Jews in Israel don't give a damn about Judaism, for most of us it just means our mom is Jewish and they cut our dick when we are 8 days old.. that's it.. And you have to remember, almost everyone (if not all) who took part in 1948 events is not alive today..

The cognitive dissonance Ansari is peculiar. Im not sure Ansari understands Palestinian politics from within Palestine. We are not concerned about what the palestinian muslim leaders in the west feel about what route is best, not because we have animosity towards them but they, while being muslim and palestinian, are not here with us on the ground. You dont get to dictate who are leaders are. The west has tried that with Abbas and we hate him and his forces. We dont want a government right now. There is no legitmate government under occupation. We want resistance. This foreign enemy in our land only understands one language. It is the language all colonizers know. We rally around Muhammad Deif and the men of Al Qassam. There is no negotiation. After 30,000 martyrs you want us to capitulate and call ourselves israeli for the sake of putting the occupation in a "awkward position"? I have lost 30 family members last month alone in one single airstrike. We will never stop fighting. You either fight with us and support our resistance or you are against us.

Lots of intelligent discussion . I appreciated this but would have loved to question further or push back in a couple of places for further progress . One large one was framing this as a religious conflict . I think that is counterproductive to progress , and it is how Israel tries to frame this conflict to impede resolution . It seems to me to be about land and justice ; but don’t just take my word for it ; I have heard other Imams say the same thing . Framing it as religion makes it epic and resistant to reason . The Zionist project is an irritant in the region precisely because it claims land for one religion exclusively . It tries to paint Palestinian resistance as Islamic intolerance , not a legitimate demand for justice .

Yes, but Islam doesn't and never has. Islam has a longer history of rule in that land than Zionism (and even Judaism in general), and its history in that land proves that the Palestinian Islamic framework has not exclusionary.

israel is forcing the issue despite itself: there can now ultimately only be a one-state solution but this new state will not be called israel (though it will hold former israelis as equal citizens with Palestinians, assuming everybody isn't killed, God forbid) - this is effectively a civil war in which one side has all the power and is trying to eliminate the other side. According to Gideon Levy Palestinians have never had any difficulty living with Israelis - the problem is the other way around. We can only hope that this persists. Perhaps otherwise the territory would have to be carved up and settlers turfed out (the recent settlers will probably have to go anyway). In a sense a one-state (apartheid in character) already exists in the west bank and israel itself (where 2 million Palestinians live). A military strategy isn't a strategy if there is no political goal: Israel has to be made to accept a unitary state and to reform its beliefs.

Id say second class citizens but Arab League has denied Palestinan Arabs citizenship for past 75 years, which occured after they expelled 850,000 Arabic Jews who made their way to Israel and became citizens.

You need to get your facts straight. Mark Regev admitted that even the proposal of a 2 state Soluton under Rabin would have left Palestine with less than a state. The Palestinians are entitled to reject bogus offers, which don't result in genuine sovereignty over its land. Having said that, every year at the UN, Palestine votes for a 2 state solution but the US and Israel reject it. Finally, Bibi is bragging that he worked to thwart a 2 state solution for the last 2 decades. Zionists need to come up with new lies we can debunk because the old narrative has been destroyed.
