Letter to the I: One State Solution to the Israel-Palestine Conflict


In her column Deborah Orr tellingly said that "The fates of Israelis and the Palestinians are bound together".  Arguably this would definitely be true if instead of a two-state solution to the conflict there was a South African one-state solution.  This would necessitate both peoples working around their cultural and religious differences to live peacefully and prosperously.  Given the fraught state of affairs at the moment, this solution looks arguably just as difficult to get to as having two functioning states.  Unfortunately the Palestinians are stuck with blood thirsty Hamas, and do not have a forward thinking leader like the late Nelson Mandela to lead them forward.
