The one state solution was never tried and never seriously proposed beyond some activist groups.

The two-state solution has been “in progress” since the Oslo Accords in 1993 to establish a Palestinian state on the territories occupied in 1967. The only party that prevented any actual progress is Israel with the continued expansion of illegal settlements and the 1995 assassination of the prime minister who signed the Oslo Accord. Since then successive Likud governments left the Oslo Accord in a zombie status before they officially killed it this month in the Kenesst.

Why are you talking about what you don’t know? It is frustrating to read people suggest the two-state solution as if the past 30 years never happened.

I suppose I'm misinformed here. As a person raised Muslim who lived several years in the middle east, most conversations I'm part of describe the whole area there pretty much being under control/oppressed by Israel, so a single state with a very limited Palestinian government, and in my had linked that to the concept of the single state solution I've heard about but never looked into.

Thanks for the correction, didn't realize single state is not what you call the current situation

Sorry if my response was harsh. It is very important to get the history right. Zionists always falsely claim that Palestinians never tried peace. It is the Israelis not the Palestinians who assassinated their leader when he made peace.
