Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
Roberto, If you look back through the mudcats extensive discussions on Israel, I don't think you will find any advocates of a one state solution.

Certainly as far as I am aware, all the main players in the debate on this thread advocate a two state solution.

I personally believe the solution is for Israel to accept that they should withdraw to within the pre 1967 borders.

Though I understand the fear of Hamas.

As I understand it, most of the debate on here is about whether or not this solution would work, whether there is a historical justification for those borders as opposed to oters, and whether or not The Israelis or the palestinians are sincere in their wish to find a solution and stick to it once it has been found.


There is no innocent party in modern day Israel/Palestine.


Palestinians see Israel annexng more land in the form of settlements and humiliating them for seemingly gratuitous reasons.

Israelis see Palestinians as being full of Hate for Jews and wanting to destroy Israel.


2 solutions would be for Israel to stop expanding and for Palestinian extremists to stop firing rockets into Israel.


But who will take the first step?


Well - Israel is meant to be on our team - the allies - and they are funded by Britisjh and American Tax dollars and pounds which makes Me complicit in their actions if I don't publicly disagree.

Hamas do not claim to represent me or my ideology nor do they receive any funding from me.

So I know where the focus of my disssatisfaction has to be.
