Deaths of the "no-state" Palestinians are Proportional to Life of the Two State Solution.

Want to find hatred of Jews -- go to Israel, where the secular Jews despise the Orthodox Jews, the European Ashkenazi Jews are contemptuous of the Arab Jews (Mizrahi) and all discriminate against the Ethiopian Falasha Jews. From UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs:

 

TEL AVIV, 9 February 2012 (IRIN) - Growing up in Israel, Shay Sium became accustomed to being called a "n-word". Sium, 32, has lived in Israel most of his life, but says he and other Ethiopian Jews are treated differently from other Israelis: factories do not want to employ them; landlords refuse them; and certain schools turn away their children. "The word discrimination doesn't describe what we experience. There is another word for it: racism. It is a shame that we still have to use this word today," he told IRIN. An estimated 125,000 Ethiopian Jews live in Israel , but while they are supposed to be full citizens with equal rights, their community has continued to face widespread discrimination and socio-economic difficulties, according to its leaders. A recent decision - as reported by local media - by 120 homeowners not to sell or rent their apartments to Israeli-Ethiopian families has brought discrimination against Ethiopian Jews in Israel back into the spotlight.

 

  Continuing with Uri Avnery's article:

 

THE PEOPLE who speak now of the "one-state solution" are idealists. But they do a lot of harm. And not only because they remove themselves and others from the struggle for the only solution that is realistic.

 

If we are going to live together in one state, it makes no sense to fight against the settlements. If Haifa and Ramallah will be in the same state, what is the difference between a settlement near Haifa and one near Ramallah? But the fight against the settlements is absolutely essential, it is the main battlefield in the struggle for peace. Other peoples have found it impossible to live together in one state.  

 

The people who speak now of the "one-state solution" are idealists for one reason -- although it is probable that the mass of Palestinians will accept the resolution, few Israelis will accommodate the proposal. Here again is an example in which the Zionist only perceive the crisis in terms of the preferred solution for themselves. Despite the fact that the crisis for the Palestinians is a Zionist creation, as long as they have overwhelming power, they are unwilling to sacrifice one shekel to resolve the Palestinian homeless situation.

 

Yes, if you select particular areas of the world, you will locate other peoples who have found it impossible to live together in one state. This view is a simplification of the total problem and ignores the real driver behind the plea for independence -- release from economic domination.

 

Let us survey the entire world. In Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, United States, Italy, China and many more nations, people of different ethnicities live relatively well together, some perturbations, but nothing to tear the nation apart.   The most cited nations of inner turmoil -- Spain, Canada, Belgium -- despite intense rhetoric, have continued united for centuries, weathering storms of relatively confined protests.
