Canadian Politics Today

I appreciate you stating your position so clearly and succinctly, Rue.

In this thread, I would like to be able to provide information from alternate viewpoints for respectful discussion.

In Canada, Jewish and Palestinian children (and all others) are often in the same classes, neighbourhoods, sports teams, etc. How would we discuss Israel-Palestine in front of them? How would we expect secondary school teenagers to present and discuss Israel-Palestine issues with each other?
With respect, certainly, allowing all views to be presented, no disparagement due to ethnicity, no bullying, no interrupting, no silencing ... etc.
We would not encourage, expect or allow Canadian children and youth to indulge in personal insult or degradation, but at least to respect existence of all viewpoints and their peers' right to speak.

I only propose that we set the same expectations for adult discussion here.

If as you said, Rue ...
"The  two sides will find a solution. It will require a major shift ..."
Then there must be safe spaces to hold discussions that respect all views and experiences, hopes and dreams.

Certainly any solution requires a willingness of both parties to comply with International law.

A two state solution once seemed to be possible, and may still be as you say, but there's been no progress and the viability of an armed-and-walled peace between two states with historical and deep animosities seems remote at present, and perhaps it always was an oxymoron?
 
I'm not dismissing the possibility of a two state solution yet, but another possibility must also be considered.
The return of Palestinian refugees is quite possible

At this point, the only viable way forward that does not involve further violence and ethnic cleansing on either side is to re-arrange the current relationship between Palestinians and Israeli Jews on the basis of justice and equality as opposed to discrimination and dispossession.
