Ahem, in my humble opinion...
This is avery complex issue (or so we have all been saying for many years of Political correctness)
the reality is that the Zionist movement got support form the world following the atrocities committed versus the Jewish people in WWII, and the world supported them to have their own new country.
Another way (Lets call this One state Scenario A) could have been to give them all Palestinian Citizenship as the new Palestinian State was being formed under British tutelage. This could have averted the ensuing War.
Following the 1948 events, the world should have acted to preserve the then borders for a Two State solution (two state scenario). It did not and the rest comes to today where there is really not much left for any functional State of Palestine.
In my opinion, the Two state Scenario is no longer possible, and of course the One state Scenario A has been nullified. So maybe there is the possibility of the One state scenario B, where Palestinians become Israel's citizens and all try to share their ancestral lands together in peace under one state flag etc.
The State could also be called "Israelstine", "Palisrael"...or adopt an ancestral name which would fatisfy both such as "The Republic of Canaan".
Whatever the case, the suffering of Palestinians needs to end. And the Healing process needs to begin. Otherwise Israel, I am afraid, no matter how much maneuvering it maybe doing to create friends in the region will never actually do because there is fundamental issues..which causes division rather than unity.
Yes, it is really complicated issue, in reality too..which the world has ignored...
Two peoples claiming the same land...in the United Nations and Declaration of Universal Human Rights World, CANNOT end with the eradication of one of the two...this path can only lead to further War...
In my humble opinion.
