what had happened to the
Palestinians who were suppressed, it
was obviously proving that Israel has
been ruling under One-State Solution
as the apartheid government.
The Palestinians were denied
their rights when the Jewish were all
about equalities but until when will
this last? Will they one day come to
the conclusion to apply the equality
between the two states and start the
Two-State Solution? It was in the
discussion for decades but up till now
there were no talks about realizing the
idea of Two-State Solution, which the
world was hoping there would be equal
rights granted to the Palestinians.
Gideon Levy stands to his point
that this must have come to its end
because this act was unacceptable in
the 21st century and the only way to
end this is equal rights and that equal
rights is the Two-State Solutions.
Does Two-states solutions s one of
Israel's propaganda?
When we talk about Israel, the
propaganda continues to play on our
mind. Israel is a mastermind and
they've been spreading propagandas
like posters, newspapers and so on. Al
Jazeera released the latest news about
Israel's propaganda war waged through
TV shows. It’s out on Netflix, “The
Messiah is the latest popular TV show
supporting Israel in its propaganda
war against the Palestinians”. Israel's
newest propaganda war is being waged
through slick tv shows on several media
service providers such as Netflix and
HBO. While racist depictions of Arabs
and the glorification of Israel is not
new in the film and TV industry, there
has lately been a surge in programs
venerating the Israeli underground
services while demonizing Palestinians
as threats to global security and
removing their history.
Back to the Two-State Solution,
most nation states are very good
propagandists, but don’t you think that
Israel has taken it to another level?
According to the Israeli historian Ilan
Pappe, he responded in an interview
about the Two-State Solution still
seems to be the only one on the table.
It is there and it’s going to be more and
more legalized as an apartheid state with
every passing day. If we will continue
to talk about a Two-State Solution, if
we will continue to talk on the basis of
the assumptions of the previous peace
process, there is nothing we could do to
change that reality, in which six million
Palestinians would continue to live
under an oppressive regime in various
forms.
Again, it goes back to a rationalist
Western way to look at reality. Now it
seems that there is such a wide coalition
for a Two-State Solution that you go for
it. You do not evaluate its morality, its
ethical dimension. It’s like this Jewish
joke, about the person who loses his
key and only looks for it where there
is light. Not where he lost it. The Two-
State Solution is the light, it’s not the
key.
“I know it’s difficult for some
people to realize that the Two-State
Solution is dead. Many of us still sleep
with the Two-State Solution, but you
are sleeping with a corpse. Many of us
still dine with the Two-State Solution,
but you are sleeping with a dead body.
It’s time to go to the morgue together
and watch together the corpse of the
two-state solution. Hopefully we will
all be invited to the funeral so that we
can get over it and move on,” said Ilan
Pappe.
Israel Democracy or Apartheid?
Israel argues that they are a liberal
democratic country. The Israelis enjoy
practising religious, civil, social and
political equality just like any other
democratic countries. However, are
they as democratic as they declare?
Apartheid is defined as a system of
institutionalized racial segregation. The
most common apartheid country is the
one and only South Africa. However,
most also see Israel as an apartheid
rather than a democratic country.
The obvious reason for this
idea is because the Palestinians are
treated differently from the Jewish
Israelis under the Israeli law. There
are dozens of Israeli laws and policies
institutionalized this existing system of
racial discrimination and domination
which strengthen the idea of Israel being
an apartheid instead of a democracy.
Among the acts carried by the
Israel that are prohibited by the UN
Apartheid Convention are forcible
transfer of Palestinians to allow through
for illegal Israeli settlements, denying
Palestinians their right to freedom of
movement and residence, preventing
Palestinians from returning to their
homes and lands, systematic and severe
deprivation of fundamental human
rights based of Palestinians identity,
murder, torture, unlawful imprisonment
and other severe deprivation of physical
liberty especially towards Palestinians
living in Gaza and persecution of
Palestinians because of their opposition
to apartheid.
There are many clear-cut signs that
can no longer be denied on Israel being
an apartheid. No matter the amount
of abnegation they throw whenever
the state of Israel is being called an
apartheid, the actions of biasness
shown towards the Israeli people and
against the Palestinians are visible.
Racism was part of the birth of
the state of Israel; apartheid is part of
its fabric. Nelson Mandela agreed.
Palestinians struggle for equality, as do
people of colour (both Jewish and non-
Jewish).
Is Two-State Solution the only
solution?
A Two-State Solution where
Israelis and Palestinians live sideby-side
as sovereign nations remains
the sole option for lasting peace and
containing the situation is not sufficient.
The building of Israel settlements
must stop immediately and completely
as they’re illegal under international
law, threatening the Two-State Solution
and also initiating a significant obstacle
to peace efforts.
A Two-State Solution is an
alternative to a One-State Solution
which is a door to abolish the never
ending conflict between Palestinians
and Israelis. There is a lot of hope at
the moment of seeing the Two-State
Solution being implemented.
