Well that is the problem. Isreal has existed for over 5000 years. And will be around for another 5000. The sooner you and Hamas recognize and accept that the sooner there will be a real possibility of peace.

The irony of that statement is hilarious. You sound like you get personally paid by Netanyahu to spew BS
Lol. And you sound like someone who refuses to read history.
Israel’s false narrative on land swaps
The idea of future land swaps has been used to justify expanding Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, analysts say.www.aljazeera.com
Al Jazeera. Definitely the source for objective news about Israel.
Problem?
They are all illegal according to the UN. Every one.
Same with the occupation, its also illegal according to the UN.
Arguing that you'll swap out some desert for the choice bits you want isn't going to cut it any more.
There isn't enough land left and Israel won't give up any of those illegal settlements.
So you're stuck with the one state.
Which means its down to a campaign to end apartheid.
Which a majority of Canadians will support.
Did Palestine exist? It was almost part of the British mandate. As an aside, how many countries in the Middle East exited 100 years ago in their present borders. Do yourself a favor and pick up a history book.
Lol. You have cited nothing historical. You have cited Palestinian talking points.
Like this?
The UN supports the Right of Return.
toguy is one of those on this board who supports an ethnostate. But, he can always disavow the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Fiction. The kingdom of Israel existed for a very brief time an extremely long time ago (thousands of years ago…..yeah, you heard right) in a land that has been home to countless other people before and since. Your racist story ignores historical reality and the equality of other peoples.
Then tell us which book says that the country Israel has existed for 5000 years. This should be good for a laugh.
Probably true. Old English proverb: "Birds of a feather flock together."
Anybody been to Brampton recently?

Partition of land has almost always been contentious and maybe even have resulted in violence.
For example, look what happened when the Brits created Pakistan/Bangladesh out of India.
I lived through this kind of debate when I lived in Quebec and talk of separation was at its highest.
Question: Weren't the Palestinians offered their own homeland but declined?

Too bad the Palestinian leadership aren't willing to share the land with Jews. Otherwise a peace deal could have been negotiated decades ago.
Um. Have you ever talked to Palestinains because they sure seem to hate the idea.
Sure seems Palestinian leadership want their own ethno-state
But sure, demand the Palestinians accept a deal because you know better.
The idea of land swaps has been approved by the UN, the Arab League, and the PA. The only actual discussion was exactly how much and which land should be swapped.Israel’s false narrative on land swaps

Unfortunately, a peace deal means both sides need to accept some kind of peace that is acceptable to both sides and as of yes, neither the current Israeli government nor any of the Palestinian leadership seem interested in living with the other.
Um, the entire land belonged to the Brits and before that the Ottomans (and under the Ottomans, the province also included Lebanon, much of Syria and Jordan. The last self-rule in the region before 1948 was before the Romans.
Palestine has never existed in a historical context so I don't think that's a winning argument. The only real question is how to convince millions of Israelis and the millions of Palestinians to accept that neither will have a land that is free of their 'enemy'.
Bullshit. You may argue that the UN partition wasn't completely balanced but as the Arab and Palestinian leadership rejected it and chose war, it is pretty dumb to blame only Israel.
The only major party in the 20th century that wasn't given any consideration was the Kurds. (okay I'm sure there's more but at least in the ME it's true).
