One State Solution (How the Israel-Palestinian Conflict Will End)

Before we go forward let’s go back…

The Kingdom of Israel was established around 1000 BC predating Christianity and Islam. We could therefore think of Jews as the region’s indigenous population.

The region was eventually conquered by Muslims and then Christians and then Muslims and then finally Christians again.

“Make Israel Native Again!”

Now, I don’t personally find genetic land claims persuasive. I don’t love the idea of passing down massive wealth from father to son let alone to draw a broad line from a millennia ago to the present. I recognize, however, that I may be in the minority here because there are many of my fellow Americans who believe that the federal government should give special privileges, reparations, and land to people simply on the basis of their genetic makeup.

Anyway, after many Jews were expelled from their ancient homeland, they were forced to live under Christian and Muslim governments who fluctuated between tolerance and genocide. This is known as the Jewish Diaspora.

Naturally, Jews became frustrated by being raped, killed, robbed, and scapegoated for centuries so they requested the League of Nations give them back a piece of their ancient homeland, which since then had basically passed from one colonial power’s hands to the next.

The bottom line is Zionist Jews recognized that the best way to defend themselves from antisemitism and preserve themselves from cultural disintegration was to have a state of their own.

And then after the most horrific genocide in history where basically the world sat by as Jewish men, women, and children were gassed to death, the British/United Nations offered to split the colonized land into two states: one for Jews and one for Arabs.

This should have been hailed as a triumphant victory for the region! The first time it would rule itself since perhaps the Kingdom of Israel, but do you know how the Arab League responded to this gracious offer?

War.

Genocide against Kurds? Nothing.

Genocide against Christians? Nothing.

Jews want to establish their own democratic state in a small piece of their ancient homeland where they make up a majority of the population after the most horrific genocide in human history? Arab nations unite in moral indignation to declare war!

They didn’t declare war because all of a sudden these theocratic governments developed a deep love for democracy, self-rule, and human rights. It was about maintaining Arab Islamic power.

The goal of the Arab League wasn’t a two-state solution or one-state where everyone would be “equal,” i.e. name a Muslim-majority country where Jews are treated as equals or where a single Jew holds elected office? The motive was as many Arab Leaders actively proclaimed to, “drive the Jews into the sea” or as the Secretary-General of the Arab League had threatened, “a war of extermination.”

And when I look at some of the quotes of the Quran and Hadas I’m not particularly surprised by the well-documented antisemitic sentiment in the Muslim world. After all, your beliefs affect your behavior.

What are Muslim beliefs about Jews?

Put yourself in the mindset of somebody who genuinely believes Mohammed was the “last true prophet,” i.e. the “perfect human” or some less generous Muslims consider “the closest a human can ever possibly get to perfection.”

Mohammed did what Hamas is trying to do, i.e. after Muhammad felt the Jewish tribes betrayed him, they were almost all exiled, executed, or enslaved. Medina was predominately a Jewish city until Mohammed forced them out. Isn’t it therefore logical for Muslims to want to follow in the footsteps of their prophet by doing to the Jews in their third holiest city (Jerusalem) as Mohammed did to them in their second holiest city (Medina)?

Also in the Quran, Jews were turned into “apes and pigs.” Moderate Muslims defend this passage by saying that only the Jews that broke Sabbath were animalized. Oh, okay.

And just as we could find quotes from Jewish leaders that strongly condemn Islam there are many quotes from Muslim leaders that interpret the Quran perhaps more literally.
