No Palestinian State

[Humanity]

I'm not sure that is a relevant question...

It does exist, so it is....

Finding a peaceful solution to what already exists is far better time spent than wasting time on debating the legitimacy of what is legitimate!

Actually it is very relevant. Any resistance to Israel (there are many different types) like BDS, for example, is opposed to Israel. They can get much more traction if Israel is illegitimate than if it is legitimate.

If you look at the documents, the history, and the facts on the ground, there is nothing legitimate about it. Israel has a lot of political recognition but it has no legal standing.

This makes a big difference.

Can you please provide a link showing that Israel is illegitimate and has no legal standing.

Tell it to the arab muslims as they are the ones with the NO JEWS charter

So what is Netanyahu's solution?

Without any flexibility for negotiation of a two state solution then there can never be peace in the region...

To suggest that a two state solution will "giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel" is ridiculous... So, there would be no change then!

Offer a two state solution, withdraw from occupied territories and I for one will stand with Israel against any Islamic radical attacks and support Israel and international intervention!

Netanyahu's comments simply prove that the Israeli right wing has no stomach for a peaceful solution.

Been tried and the arab muslims made sure it failed, so what has changed in the last 10 years to show it wont fail again. They have been offered a two state solution and turned it down every time. So now Israel is saying what the arab muslims have been saying for the last 66 years and the islamonazi stooges don't like it.

When was a real two state solution tried?

2005 when Israel left gaza willingly and were bombarded with rockets all day every day. That was the first step on the road to peace agreed in 1999 at Oslo. So what have the Palestinians done again towards a permanent peace ?

Unfortunately Israel leaving Gaza is not a real two state solution is it...

That was Israel pulling out of territory that does not belong to them... As Israel needs to pull out of all occupied territory.

There can then be proper discussions on a two state solution.

That's because 'acquiring land' is a Tinmore pre - requisite. You made up that pre requisite.
OF course Israel has legal standing. Your pre requisites and rules don't apply in the real world, remember?

(COMMENT)

He believes that the territory in which the former Mandate applied, determined by the Allied Power, referred to as Palestine, was (in 1949 truce periods) an Arab Palestinian sovereignty designation. But, in the time of the Armistice Agreements, nothing could be further from the truth.

EXCERPT UK MEMORANDUM NAMES COMMISSION AS SUCCESSOR GOVERNMENT
UN Press Release PAL/138 27 February 1948

"Palestine is today a legal entity but it is not a sovereign state. Palestine is a territory administered under mandate by His Majesty (in respect of the United Kingdom), who is entirely responsible both for its internal administration and for its foreign affairs.

"After the 15th May, 1948, Palestine will continue to be a legal entity but it will still not be a sovereign state because it will not be immediately self-governing. The authority responsible for its administration will, however, have changed.

"Where the sovereignty of Palestine lies at the present time is a disputed and perhaps academic legal question about which writers have expressed a number of different conclusions. Where the sovereignty of Palestine will lie after the 15th May, 1948, is perhaps also a question on which different views will be held, but so far as His Majesty's Government are aware, it is a question which it is unnecessary to answer in connection with any practical issues.​

The idea that the UN or the Allied Powers considered the territory a state, under a government related to the Hostile Arab Palestinian Movement is ridiculous. The Armistice Agreements clearly show that the Israelis controlled a part of the territory, and the aggressor Arab States (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt) controlled other territories. The Arab Palestinians, displaced or not, had not voice in the Armistice arrangements (or the subsequent Peace Treaties) because they did not control any territory. The West Bank was under Jordanian occupation and the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian Occupation.

Let's answer one question at a time.

(COMMENT)

There are still two Armistice Agreements in play (between Israel and the States of Lebanon and Syria). But as pertaining to the more contemporary designation of "Palestine," the most appropriate documents are the Treaties of Peace between Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom (Jordan) (1995) and Arab Republic (Egypt)(1979).

• The War is over between Israel and Jordan --- as it pertains to the West Bank.
• The War is over between Israel and Egypt --- as it pertains to the Gaza Strip.

The permanent international boundaries are established.

With Jordan:

1. The international boundary between Israel and Jordan is delimited with reference to the boundary definition under the Mandate as is shown in Annex I(a), on the mapping materials attached thereto and co-ordinates specified therein.​

2. The boundary, as set out in Annex I (a), is the permanent, secure and recognised international boundary between Israel and Jordan, without prejudice to the status of any territories that came under Israeli military government control in 1967.
​

With Egypt:

The permanent boundary between Egypt and Israel is the recognized international boundary between Egypt and the former mandated territory of Palestine, as shown on the map at Annex II, without prejudice to the issue of the status of the Gaza Strip. The Parties recognize this boundary as inviolable. Each will respect the territorial integrity of the other, including their territorial waters and airspace.​

The Palestinians had no voice in the treaties. There was no boundary established for Palestine. And the treaties were executed with prejudice for the Arab Palestinians.

As to where Israel was at the time of the Armistice Arrangements (February and July 1949) between Israel and the 4 Arab States: You should note that the Security Council 69 Resolution (1949) of 4 March 1949, ---

The Security Council,​

Having received and considered the application of Israel for membership in the United Nations,1/

1. Decides in its judgement that Israel is a peace-loving State and is able and willing to carry out the obligations contained in the Charter, and accordingly,

2. Recommends to the General Assembly that it admit Israel to membership in the United Nations.

While the Arab League was fighting, Israel was working to assure its recognition and independence in the or the Armistice Arrangements. The Palestinians were doing nothing.

The Armistice Agreements clearly show that the Israelis controlled a part of the territory,...​

Controlled does not mean won. An occupation controls territory.

'One of the most important problems which must be cleared up be-
fore a lasting peace can be established in Palestine is the question of
the disposition of the more than 700,000 Arab refugees who during the
Palestine conflict fled from their homes in what is now Israeli occupied
territory and are at present living as refugees in Arab Palestine and
the neighboring Arab states.

FRUS Foreign relations of the United States 1949. The Near East South Asia and Africa Israel​

(COMMENT)

The FRUS cited is an opinion to the "Question of Palestine."

But as to refugees in the West Bank and Gaza Strip: UNHCR Convention and Protocol of Refugees.

C. This Convention shall cease to apply to any person falling under the terms of section A if:

(1) He has voluntarily re-availed himself of the protection of the country of his nationality; or
(2) Having lost his nationality, he has voluntarily re-acquired it; or
(3) He has acquired a new nationality, and enjoys the protection of the country of his new nationality; or
(4) He has voluntarily re-established himself in the country which he left or outside which he remained owing to fear of persecution; or
(5) He can no longer, because the circumstances in connexion with which he has been recognized as a refugee have ceased to exist, continue to refuse to avail himself of the protection of the country of his nationality; Provided that this paragraph shall not apply to a refugee falling under section A(1) of this article who is able to invoke compelling reasons arising out of previous persecution for refusing to avail himself of the protection of the country of nationality;
(6) Being a person who has no nationality he is, because of the circumstances in connexion with which he has been recognized as a refugee have ceased to exist, able to return to the country of his former habitual residence;
​

There are no longer 700,000 refugees. The first mass change happened in 1950 when the West Bank Palestinian became Jordanians under the right of self-determination and representation in the Jordanian Parliament. The second time is when, in 1988, the State of Palestine was proclaimed in an accepted Declaration of Independence.
