France and Saudi Arabia hope to use this year’s gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly and the increasingly horrific war in the Gaza Strip to inject new urgency into the quest for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Those efforts include a new road map for eventual Palestinian statehood in territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war, and moves by several Western countries to join a global majority in recognizing such a state before it has been established.
Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, joining nearly 150 countries that have already done so,

Israel should simply point out that the two state solution has been tried in the past.
Both times it was rejected by the Palestinians.
This is a distraction from keeping Israel from destroying Hamas.

They have their hearts set on setting up radical Islam right next to Israel. It was stupid when the world first accepted it and it is still stupid. Make Iran take them. They all get along swell.

One good way to make progress is to ignore the media, especially the AP.

It is the (so called) Palestinians who want a one state solution - theirs. This is a self evident fact that Israel, whose very existence is at stake cannot ignore. It does not have the same luxury that the Sec Gen of the UN has. Palestinians were offered their own state in Oslo. Arafat declined. For a very simple. He would have been assassinated as soon as he went back. The three English speaking Commonwealth countries can afford a game of let's pretend. Israel cannot.

NO. Where were these meddling countries when Israel was wiping the scourge of Hamas animals out of Gaza? Now that they have spent millions of dollars and many precious IDF lives, Gaza once again belongs to them. If France or anybody else wants to help the parasitic and stupid sheep known as palestinians, they can carve out a state for them in their own countries. Israel won the 1967 war by beating the tar out of four countries that attacked them at the same time. One state, two states, a dozen states will not solve the problem of militant muslims. Bug off!

There already was a Palestinian state - Gaza, which Israel gifted to the Palestinians. If any country now supporting a new Palestinian state were to give part of its land to the Palestinians, Israel would applaud the move. Any volunteers?

Much of what is called "territory seized in 1967" was land reclaimed from Arabs who occupied it following the 1948 war.

Annexing Gaza is part of their "Greater Israel" expansion plan, they will never give it back and they are not done taking either.

Israel can retaliate by taking every inch of their land and refusing to ever give it up again. Let the nations call for all the two-state solutions they want. Israel should ignore them.
P.S. Why does everyone (who never lived in Israel) think they have the right to tell a sovereign country what to do with THEIR land?

Yes #1, they could point out that the two-state solution was tried and failed. But then Bibi was happy to help establish Hamas and fund it to counter the PLO. Worked a charm.

I'd consider giving the Palestinians Death Valley. But we'd need a huge wall to keep them inside. And we'd need to keep all the mineral rights,

The 2 state solution has been on the table for 75 years, and has resolved nothing. Keeping on doing the same will only get more of the same, which is more war.

Stories like this make me remember what my father would ask me after I did something wrong and blamed it on my friends telling me to do it: “If your friends told you to jump off the Empire State Building, would you do it?” Just because many are getting onboard with something, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. In fact, as I’ve grown older, I realize that if the world embraces something, the right thing to do lies in the opposite direction.

Here are a few "obstacles" the article omits:
1. In Palestine, you'd be giving birth to a terror state. Is that the impetus you wish to affirm?
2. Why must anyone recognize "Palestine" when palestine won't even recognize Israel, which has been a state for 80 + years?
3. The 2 state solution is absolutely NOT the only tenable path. The 3 state solution is more tenable as Israel wouldn't even take over any current pali territories which would be controlled by Jordan and Egypt. Except Egypt and Jordan don't want to absorb the rabid terror tribes hunkered down there in squalor.
4. Where. Are. The. Hostages????

Why not give ANTIFA the city of Los Angeles and call it a State?

Palestinians already have a state- Jordan.
But Jordan doesn't want them either.
The 1948 UN-proposed partition aimed to create separate Arab and Jewish states, but the Arab states rejected the plan. They had their chance.

The Palestinians don't want a two-state solution; they want to replace Israel. The UN would need to use force to round up Palestinians and compel them to live alongside Israel while recognizing Israel's right to exist. This is a non-starter from the Palestinians' viewpoint.
Erdowan tried to convince Brett Baer that Israel's actions in Gaza were genocide. This is what Nietzsche called "slave morality," a tactic employed by weaker parties to undermine the virtues of their more vigorous opposition. He knows that the reason Israel exists is because of a real genocide committed by Germany under Hitler. I don't remember Hitler ever giving Jews the opportunity to leave Germany, Poland, France, the Netherlands, and other European countries before loading them onto the railcars headed for the gas chambers.
