So what are Israel's plans to end the occupation, the apartheid, the discrimination against Palestinians?

Ya, I won't respond to that.
It's also called  ... Netanyahu's Israel has no intention of ever lifting the restrictions on water and other basic necessities of Palestinians, stopping the disproportionate violence and deaths, bulldozing Palestinian homes, incarcerating minors, etc etc etc - occupation, apartheid & discrimination will continue until ...
Until US Christian 'Zionists' (who are actually anti-Semites) stop funding Israel's war machine?

Rue and Vid have only explanations/excuses for why it 'has to be' the way it is, why 'It's Palestinians fault', no thoughts for a better future.
Sad, really.

And I am very glad to know that there are more moderate, more hopeful Jewish, Israeli and Palestinian people everywhere who work to understand, to try to improve relations, to put pressure on the Israeli government and businesses.

B'tselem human rights group in Israel publishes informative articles and ongoing stats:

Israelis have largely given up trying to convince Palestinians to understand their point of view, that they crave security from their history of persecution. This is largely because the overwhelming force of the occupation means they don't have to convince Palestinians of anything, but Palestinians have few other options.

I think everybody understands that Israeli Jews and Jews worldwide "crave security" from persecution.
What's impossible to accept is that some Israeli Jews justify inflicting persecution on others. 

Is persecution not just ... wrong?

Canadians are not blameless. We've persecuted Indigenous Peoples, and many have tried to justify that too, but it is just wrong.

It is my responsibility to other posters on this forum to practice what I preach and show them respect so I have done it here.. There is another side of this debate I offer. I can be more brief when I do and I am trying. Sorry but  My responses are done the forum spirit of two sided debate. Don't read it if you disagree. It is respect for what you try argue that causes me to resond not ignoring what you say.

Granny, nothing in what I share makes excuses

  but y es  it does explain that for every action is a reaction in a conflict and to understand it and try achieve peace we need to look at how both trigger one another.

Nothing in what I said blames Palestinians as people.
 It does explain though why Israelis and Palestinians are both equally caught in a conflict and how terrorism is at the root cause of it. There are haters on both sides. No hater is right.
Sad, really.

When will the World acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of Jews in Arab states?
