Dr. Shibley Telhami, who conducted the University of Maryland poll, wrote Wednesday that rising support for a one-state solution is likely a result of despair from the possibility of implementing a two-state solution. “When one considers that many Israelis and Palestinians, as well as many Middle East experts, already believe that a two-state solution is no longer possible, especially given the large expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, it’s not hard to see why more people would be drawn to a one-state solution,” he wrote.
This is her goal which will never happen according to the "INTERNATIONAL LAW" we hear so much about
Ms. Tlaib, a lawyer and former state legislator, said during her campaign that she would “absolutely” vote against military aid to Israel. She also said she would be open to a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that would create a single state that would include Israel within its 1948 borders, the West Bank and possibly the Gaza Strip under one democratic government, a position some fear would erode Israel as a Jewish homeland.

So let's clear up a few things...
Coyote claims that: Israel denies 94% of building permits to Arabs because of their ethnicity. She quotes news articles paraphrasing reports written by NGOs and then suggests she has proven her claim.
I don't think so.
What percentage of building permits are issued to Arab Israelis compared to Jewish Israelis? (The answer, btw, is no one knows because its freaking illegal to ask such questions on building permits. If measured by generally Jewish neighborhoods and generally Arab neighborhoods, its about the same, with Arabs receiving slightly higher percentages of acceptance. They do apply MUCH less frequently though and illegal building by Arabs is rampant.)
What percentage of building permits are issued to Arab Palestinians (not citizens) compared to Israelis (citizens)?
What percentage of building permits issued by the PA are permitted by Israel in Area C?
What security concerns need to be addressed for any given location?
Is there a Community Development Plan in place for that area or village?
Is the applicant building on land which is privately owned by them?
Is the applicant building too many buildings on the same plot of land?
Are the buildings safe?
Was the permit applied for prior to beginning construction?
I think if we were to look into this seriously, there are a whole host of reasons why these permits may not be accepted and "because Israel discriminates against Arabs" isn't one of them.
I agree there are a whole host of reasons but that doesn't rule out discrimination as one of those reasons.
Your GO TO claim was that Israel actively discriminates against Arabs because they are Arabs.
So if a non-citizen of Israel builds a house without a permit, gets caught, and only then decides to apply for a permit, on land which he says is his, but has no records proving such, which is legally actually State land, in a town with no development plan in place, on a plot of land where only one house is permitted, but three already stand, fails to get proper building materials and builds something unsafe, and also happens to belong to a terrorist group and stores weapons in his house.....WHOAH! Must be discrimination against Arabs.It is interesting that Israel claims "state land" in the Wast Bank when the West Bank is not in their state.which is legally actually State land,

Don’t believe that the majority of Israelis would be for the “ One State Solution” knowing they would be the minority, having virtually no say in their Gov”t, and actually being forbidden to travel to certain places within their own Country!
Are you trying to convince yourself that the majority of Israelis would be for the equivalent of “ Right of Return”, eventually becoming the minority, and NOT being treated as equals regarding having access to their Religious Sites,
