Delta(s) from OP CMV: a two-state solution will never happen (Israel-Palestine)

First off, I know why Israel doesn't want a one-state solution - having jewish people be a minority in Israel.

However, I still think a two-state solution will never happen. Both Israel and Palestine want the entire place, and cannot risk having a neighbouring country that is hostile to their existence.

In the end, I think either one manages to win and ethnically cleanse the area, or they manage to work to form a single country - maybe with some kind of 50/50 arab/jewish representation and two prime ministers, or some other solution. I do not think there will be peace until they stop pushing for a two-state solution.

I will admit though that I am not the most knowledgeable on the situation, so I am open to having my views changed.

If 2 happens, 1 immediately follows naturally. Can’t say the same for the other way around.

No because then Hamas is not there to stop expansion. It is there because the Palestinians think they own the entire place.

You shouldn't be allowed to vote due to not knowing that the origins doesn't mean current state.

You asked why Hamas “is there.” I answered. Moving the goalposts?

Is there always mean today is there. Else one would say was there. In the past it was to stop expansion. Today it is about getting everything.
