There Will Never be a Two-State Solution: The mindset of the Palestinians themselves absolutely forbids it
American Thinker ^ | 10/10/2024 | Eric Dawe

Posted on 10/10/2024 6:08:07 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The countries of the West have watched the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians for decades, baffled because every diplomatic effort to establish the much-vaunted ‘two-state solution’ has failed. The atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, one year ago, left those of us in the West horrified by the barbaric savagery we witnessed, much of it documented and broadcast by Hamas itself. It’s been almost 80 years since the Nazis’ genocidal crusade against the Jews, but the heinous acts committed by Hamas have brought back the Nazi abominations of World War II with all their horror in stark relief.

The Middle East now teeters on the brink of a real war between Israel and Iran, made all the more harrowing as Iran has been developing nuclear capability thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, which abandoned any effort to discourage nuclear production in this foremost terrorist regime.

The perspective of many of the pundits in the West is that if the poor Palestinians weren’t under the oppressive rule of Hamas, we could easily achieve a ‘two-state solution’ for peace between Israel and Palestine. They firmly believe the Palestinians are the victims of a cruel, hateful regime, and without Hamas, they would readily adopt a ‘live and let live’ philosophy with Israel.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Palestine -- Land of Delusion and Hate

What the diplomats, politicos, and pundits in the media refuse to recognize is that the majority of Palestinians are far from being the helpless victims of a repressive Hamas regime that thwarts any two-state solution. Rather, the mindset of the Palestinians themselves absolutely forbids any two-state solution with Israel. Israel would accept it; Israelis have been amenable every time it’s been proposed.

To our western, civilized thinking, it seems only logical that Palestine would prefer peace over the endless fighting and death they have experienced under Hamas rule. But that’s exactly where we ‘civilized’ westerners go wrong.

It’s not just Hamas that hates Israel and all its people; the Palestinians themselves hate Israel and the Israeli people with an intense, even self-destructive hatred we cannot comprehend.

The only two things the Palis and Israelis agree upon are that it’s one country and it’s theirs.

Well said. Two States already exist: Israel in this world, and Israel in the World to Come.

They don’t want a Two-State Solution.

They want A ONE-STATE SOLUTION.......THEIRS!

Arafat could have had a Two-State Solution 50 Years ago. He turned it down flat.

He wants Israel GONE..............

They are taught to hate Israel, indoctrinated by Hamas.

Liberate Palestine from Iranian proxy and give it a generation.

We should remember that the religion of hate was allied to the state of hate during WW II. And now the religion of hate has managed to increase that hate. The logical solution would be to do to that religion what we did to that state. Waiting......

I believe that Arafat was offered everything he asked for and refused.

I understand it. It is the same hatred I feel for dimocraps and illegals that come here to nurse at our teats and not assimilate.

Not every problem has a realistic solution. There is no solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict. As the article states, the Palestinians want it all, “from the river to the sea”. I cannot see them ever giving up that dream.

So what does this mean? Unfortunately, it means endless war.

And as a side note, it really is amazing (in a bad way) how quickly the West has forgotten the horrific Oct 7, 2023 massacre of Israeli innocents. I want to blame that entirely on childish stupidity. But I guess antisemitism plays a part as well.

I wonder if the reality was/is so appalling that some people blocked it out and soothed themselves by substituting less horrific whitewashed mental images. I can neither forget nor forgive.

They want Israel gone!
That fact is lost on many people. The Palestinians will not stop until their goal is reached. #1 eliminate Israel, #2 eliminate zionists. They will allow Jews to exist under certain circumstances according to the Koran, submission.

Dan Gordon, a Jewish screenwriter, journalist, and all around good guy has a 4 part special on TBN that lays it all out.

Some of the vids have disturbing scenes, but overall very informative.

You have to join TBN, but it is free. Or you can check it out on TV on TBN.

Part 3 delves into the history of Israel. He explains it perfectly.
