Exactly. Well said.

Valid comment. But the problem is, no one is giving or has given Palestine any chance to do it. its been in occupation for 75 yrs with blockades, settlements, and discrimination all which have completely destroyed it. there's 2 sides to how people see Hamas. the Israel perspective "oh look, an organisation set on destroy us, and a corrupt and evil state. there can be no peace until they're gone" and the other "oh look, all the occupation and suffering has led to a radical organisations all because Israel constantly tortured Palestine". Palestine can absolutely recover if you give them a reason to actually consider. Rn, the whole world is against them so they don't exactly have a choice. I agree that you can't have a 2-state solution with current state of Palestine but how is it even possible when you're literally preventing them from attempting. I'm guessing and am sure that all Hamas were given were stupid and exaggerated peace deals which gives them no power, no rights, and no hope. Heck literally, the Israel's peace deal was lit "surrender every single thing Palestine posses and we 'MAYBE' will consider just 'talking' about a 2-state solution. How exactly are you supposed to work with this?

Agree with you.

Can you define the WHY the Palestinians need a state, how would it look like, how you'd know they finally achieved a state and what will they be doing once they have it? Will Jews be free to live in their homes which some of them never left the "West Bank" for thousands of years? or will they be depurted out for being Jew, like in N@zi Germany 1938? Will they have equal rights and be protected? can anyone gurantee their safety? How do we know that the Palestinian statea won't make new tunnels to the heart of Israel and allow radicals to murder more Israelis? Is there an example to show Israelis that giving terriroty to Palestinians = More Safety for them?

The plo recognises Israel already. And if we're talking about "both sides", I don't remember Israel asking the opinion of Palestinians to form a state of their own. We could say it was "premature" then as well.

they said most not all

Clueless comment. Maybe re-watch and try to pay attention to WHAT THE NARRATOR IS SAYING.

@@kenster8270 you are the clueless one. What is essentially being said here is that "Most of the EU countries that recognized the state of palestine did so in 1988 when they were communist states." (leaving out Sweden) and highlighting the other ones as communist states. This is 100 percent implying that all countries in 1988 that were selected with red were communist states. He made a mistake here. Stop shilling for misinformation.

Agreed. Muslim-Arab colonists have occupied Jewish lands for 1400 years. It's long past time for them to leave.

​@malogibeaux4946 so recognising Palestine as a state means the ISraelis have to leave? Stop regurgitating points that have been spoonfed by propagandists 😂

@@GetFochD nah dude. I was responding to a comment that said that arabs were the true invaders and the jews were already there 4000 years ago. I am for the recognition of a palestinian state.

@@GetFochD The ONLY block in a Palestinian state is the Palestinians. Israel wants to be left alone and Gaza was given automony in 2005, but decided to start a war in October.

@@A190xx big bs. How can Gaza be autonomous, when they cant get out and ISrael is the one that decides what gets in? Look up word autonomous that aint it.

Israel has made numberable offers for a Palestinian state, as it just wants a homeland and to be left alone. The Arabs rejected them all. Hamas constitution demands eradication of Jews "from the river to the sea". If Hamas lays down its arms, there will be peace tomorrow. And note Gaza was autonomous until it started a war.

At least one side is fighting for his right aganist settler occupation and his land like any ppl who were under occupation before

For his right to massacre Jews and Israelis? Do you think the war is against Palestinians or against Hamas? Because maybe you are not aware to the fact there are thousands of Palestinians in the IDF.

​@@NadaTae ... just that most of the Palestinians haven't lived very long in the area either. They are mainly Arabs that came from other areas in the last 300 or so years iirc. By your logic, lots of countries would need to be destroyed because a lot of the peoples who live there now had a migration history in the last couple of centuries. Yet, you seem to only care if it's about Jews. Why?

​​​@@user-gr9fq9gt9w Hamas killed about 38 children on October 7. The Zionists have killed over 14,000 children as well as spending over half a year starving and terrorizing and making homeless a million children the Zionists have kept locked up in a concentration camp all their lives. We know who the biggest mass murders are. And even if there are some Arabs who have abandoned all ethical principles and joined the oppressive IDF as you claim that doesn't change the fact that the IDF is a horrific, violent, oppressive force serving the goals of a racist, colonialist apartheid oppressive Israeli regime. Apartheid South Africa had some Blsck police officers working for the white supremacist regime. Nazi Germany had some locals working for it in various countries. So what?

I was looking for this comment

Malta too

okay he say most of these states so then it makes sense

American politicians be like Support Ukraine - nay Support Israel - yes

'2 state solution' meant greenlighting nationalism and exclusions of all sorts, cuz 'we may do whatever we want on OUR land, look, there is YOUR land (that we are currently conquering, lol)' 'one state' would be a country where you are free to be whatever and worship whatever - and US didn't like it

​​@@piotr_jurkiewicz Sure, but which country? Palestine was actually already the one state where both were free.

By the way, my source for that is Jesse Alexander's video on the issue from three years ago on the The Great War channel. It's called "How Zionists Came to Palestine Under British Protection (Documentary)".

There's also another problem: Iran. An independent Palestine will immedietly become an Iranian proxy. Palestine will never become a peacefull country. It's allways claim all of Israel.

nothing

*nichts*

Israel is sick of the threat from gaza and the west bank so close to home, also there are the Israeli hardliners who want to possess all of old canaan. What I mean is, as an outsider I think that Israel will most likely have it's feet in the sand doing everyting in it's power to not go back to how things were. I feel like they will need to be ensured a better security for a treu 2 state solution to be accepted by both parties.

@@HughJass-jv2lt Context matters. I see how this channel constantly makes false claims, doesn't tell the whole truth or looks for the fly in the ointment to explicitly put Germany in a bad light. Even on topics where Germany is behaving in an exemplary manner, such as the Ukraine conflict, there are still attempts to malign Germany. Germany is providing way more military aid than other european powers during its biggest economic crisis in decades. But whenever they do something good, this channel be like "oh yea, but remember the days before war when they only sent helmets?". In every video on this channel there is a point where Germany is used as a negative example. And some people in the commentary box takes this up to spread hatred against Germany. Obviously even with parallels to the Third Reich. This is shameless.

@@KupoxChan Hmmm.... Are you German?

It wouldn’t work at all. Israel is the defacto ruler of the area, but the PLO is more of an intermediary that tries to maintain some rest while fighting for some concessions. As long as Israeli settlements are allowed to exist, Palestine can never be a state in the western sense. The idea of a two-state has been poisoned from the get-go.

I disagree that there is any need for a two state solution and certainly no need for a Palestinian state. The problem, which will be exacerbated by a Palestinian State, is endemic Islamic terrorism. The only solution is to de-Islamify the area, much as the Allies de-Nazified Germany after the war, and moved Germans out of the new Poland.

What is their Catalan problem?

Spain recognises Israel despite the Catalan separatism. Why should it not recognise Palestine?

I see how this move could be confusing comming from the outside but there are a lot of internal factors that made spain swing like this. Ironically, TLDR: it was long overdue for the bloc to the left of PSOE, especially because of the catalan issue.

No, that only emphasises the difference between Western democracies and dictatorial and/or unstable regimes in the rest of the world. The Western democracies' quasi unanimous rejection to recognise the existence of the Palestinian State abides with international law (which says that you can't recognise the existence of a state that doesn't exist in reality). By contrast, the dictatorships of this world don't care about international law. On the one hand, they weaponise their UN membership to vote a ridiculously disproportionate number of resolutions against Israel. On the other hand, they veto any resolution that goes against their dictatorial antidemocratic ideology (through Russia's and China's permanent seat in the UN Security Council). They use their seat in the UN Human Rights Council to make a mockery of the very concept of human rights. Their social media trolls propagate outrageous allegations about a supposedly "colonial" west, while they are the ones who are guilty of actual colonialism and imperialism. Just a few examples: 1. China's occupation of Tibet (colonialism) 2. China's abhorrent treatment of the Uyghur minority (racial supremacy); 3. China denying the people of Taiwan and Hong Kong their right to self-determination (colonialism); 4. Russia's illegal occupation of large parts of Ukrainian territory (imperialism) and erasure of Ukraine as a nation (cultural genocide); 5. Syria's dictator Assad financing his rule with income from the narcotics trade to murder, torture, rape and terrorise his own people for over 10 (!) years; 6. This list goes on and on and on... These dictatorships and their satellite states recognise the "existence" of an inexistent Palestinian State only because it serves their agenda, which is discrediting the free and democratic West. Israel is as much a "colonial state" as Irak, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan (which means it isn't a colonial state at all). All of these states emerged after the respective British and French Mandates expired.

If you are European then it will become so big mistake. I give you an example of City of London look at that and gain inspiration from that

Exactly. Gaza was a large piece of land where Palestinian Arabs have governed themselves these last 20 years, and what was the result? No sane person would want to repeat the experiment on a larger scale

This is exactly the reason why 7 October happened. The world had turned a blind eye on the suffering of the Palestinians, let alone recognised their state so Hamas saw no reason for restraint. And Hamas doesn't represent Palestine internationally, the PLO does.

​@@razahassan8755 If the IDF is Israël, then Hamas is also Palestine. Pretty sure the Palestinians could have made something nice out of Gaza but they chose not to. Both parties are religious idiots who will are unable to think like us seculars.

If it's not heppen Europe will not left European

You are European???

@@nurulhudavijapurwala4936 why does it matter, one thing for sure, recognising something that doesn't nor ever existed will bring nothing, but more violence and conflicts.

Only resolutions that are passed under Chapter VII of the UN Charter are legally binding. Resolution 181 was passed under Chapter VI in 1947 (i.e. before the Arab-Israeli war of 1948-1949). It was a non-binding political declaration that recommended the partition of Mandatory Palestine after the expiry of the British Mandate for Palestine, which was due to happen on 15 May 1948. The UN's recommended partition of Mandatory Palestine was accepted by the Jewish delegation but rejected by the Arab delegations (because "from the river to the sea..."). Anyhow, Resolution 181 has become obsolete because the facts on the ground have changed too much over the past 75 years.

Israel offered to return the parts of Syria for peace between the two countries. That’s Israel’s entire policy, not expanding but just being safe. Palestine has invaded it over and over again, including last year. So Israel just doesn’t want to give them the chance to attack again. Having the Golan Heights helps to guard the border. Besides, most wars even back then involve taking land if it happens a lot. Like Germany constantly losing land I have no idea what you mean about them occupying Lebanon territory though. It’s literally just invaded once or twice and that’s it. Lebanon hasn’t lost land. Also, Palestine wants to occupy neutral Jerusalem as well so I don’t know how much that can really be pointed at Israel. Both want it as their capital, that’s a bit of the issue here

​@@Huminahumina465Palestine didn't invade Israel, the surrounding Arab states did. Israel continues to occupy the Lebanese Shebaa Farms and a few Lebanese villages like Ghajar.

@@razahassan8755 I mean recently Hamas invaded them with Gaza. But if we ignore that, they still used Palestine to invade and Palestine in particular fought a war instead of accept the UN deal. So that alone is a point saying Palestine did attack them
