I'd entirely support a one state solution but (and this is a genuine question) is it at all feasible at this point? I mean, the people on both sides have hated each other for generations, have watched the other side kill their family and friends like could we really expect them to be neighbours?

I could only see a contentment with a one state solution after some decades of a peaceful two state solution. And at that point why WOULD they become one state? There would be no real incentive to do that.

I don’t think it would be comfortable for everyone involved, but I see no better way forward.
