  1. No thanks! Perhaps you can establish Palestine on a desert island in the middle of the pacific.

  2. This War is Out of Control and it Needs to Put to a Stop!

  3. He who divides God's land will pay a personal as well as national price.

    No 2 state solution now or ever.

  4. Israel got their independence from a land called Palestine for thousands of years expelled native Palestinians and brought European Zionists to Palestine.
    It doesn't make any sense 😂

  5. LOL a Two State Solution? That only works when one sides agrees to it. Right now, Israel has agreed to it and Palestine has declined time and time again. What people don't realize is that Palestine is a made up country named by the Turks and then ruled by the British mandate and during that time Jews had always lived on the land.

  6. 💥 NO TWO STATE SOLUTION… Read the Bible!!!!! Israel is NEVER to be divided with anyone! Israel belongs to the Jews ONLY through the Abrahamic Covenant given by God to Abraham regarding the Jews. Everything Biden said his Administration is doing is against God's Word. No President or Country is to divide Israel! If this happens God will divide America… We must pray against this. Anyone who thinks a "two state solution" is the answer hasn't read the Bible regarding Israel being the apple of God's eye and belonging to the Jews. It figures WOKE NBC, the Biden Administration and Christians oblivious to God's Word are decived! If Israel is divided… America is in trouble per the PROPHECIES from God. Get Biden and his Administration out of office and pray against a two state solution!!!!

  7. two state solution is not on the mind of the muslim brotherhood..that really sucks. Muslim wants the state of Israel to be errase thats the truth there. islam is always a terrorist race.

  8. Here's an idea – Have the Palestinians alter the covenants, charters, and basic laws that they live under, encourage them to have free elections, and encourage them to remove anti-Semitic materials from their public education system.
    The current covenants, charters, and basic laws of both Hamas and the PLO call for the destruction of Israel and the expulsion and eradication of the Jews.
    The Palestinians haven't had free elections since 2006, when Hamas won the majority of the votes across all the Palestinian territories and the PLO and Hamas had a civil war to decide who ruled where.
    The teaching materials, cartoons, children's media, and

  9. THERE'S NOT ROOM FOR 2 STATES THERE'S ONLY 1 NATIÓN 1 GOD 1 SAVIOR.
    JESUSCHRIST OF NAZARETH THE KING OF JEWS.

    OK. OK.
    JOHN 3:16 📜✍️

  10. This describes life in an alternate universe. In this one, the conditions for a two-state solution have been deliberately and systematically eroded for years.

  11. The ONLY SOLUTION is FREEDOM and EQUAL RIGHTS for EVERYONE PERIOD!

    A "two state solution " will NEVER work because there will NEVER be agreement on the boundaries.

    People need to face the FACTS :
    Israel is an APARTHEID COUNTRY
    Apartheid countries NEVER have peace until ALL citizens have EQUAL RIGHTS PERIOD! (U.S. riots, South Africa apartheid )
    Until Israel unifies it's Nation just like EVERY OTHER COUNTRY has had to do they will be at war with Arabs from ALL OVER THE PLANET!
    Just think if the U.S. treated one of our minority groups like Israel treats the Palestinians. You think we have a lot of mass shootings now? The only difference would be most of the shooters would be yelling "Free the Asians /blacks / or whoever "
    Before they start killing people
    Israel needs to get into the 21st century
    ZIONISM is RACISM, pure and simple.

  12. Shouldn't the first step for a 2 state solution by the US would be to acknowledge Palestine as a state?

  13. Country is different than state… Palestine wants to be a country

  14. The problem isnt the lack of a two state solution. The problem is the hardcore religious Zionists and Islamists that hates each other because they believe in different invisible guys in the cloud.

  15. Two states? you're being stupid. It can not work, will not work, and you make yourselves an enemy of God in the process. That which you hope to avoid, you ensure.

  16. As for the "two-state solution," Palestinian Arab hard-liners do not want it, because they want the entire country of "Palestine" (aka the Land of Israel) to themselves, and for Jews to become sub-ordinates under them. Israelis, too, do not want a "two-state solution," because that would imply a sovereign and independent Palestinian Arab state alongside that of Israel, and which would, invariably, allow for them to import tanks and warplanes to be used against Israel, similar to what Gaza did to Israel when Israel gave to them autonomy in 2005.
