Thread: The Palestinian people deserve a state of their own - Biden

The Palestinian people deserve a state of their own and a future free from Hamas. I, too, am heartbroken by the images out of Gaza and the deaths of many thousands of civilians, including children. Palestinian children are crying for lost parents. Parents are writing their child’s name on their hand or leg so they can be identified if the worst happens. Palestinian nurses and doctors are trying desperately to save every precious life they possibly can, with little to no resources. Every innocent Palestinian life lost is a tragedy that rips apart families and communities.

Our goal should not be simply to stop the war for today — it should be to end the war forever, break the cycle of unceasing violence, and build something stronger in Gaza and across the Middle East so that history does not keep repeating itself.

This much is clear: A two-state solution is the only way to ensure the long-term security of both the Israeli and Palestinian people. Though right now it may seem like that future has never been further away, this crisis has made it more imperative than ever.

A two-state solution — two peoples living side by side with equal measures of freedom, opportunity and dignity — is where the road to peace must lead. Reaching it will take commitments from Israelis and Palestinians, as well as from the United States and our allies and partners. That work must start now.

To that end, the United States has proposed basic principles for how to move forward from this crisis, to give the world a foundation on which to build.

To start, Gaza must never again be used as a platform for terrorism. There must be no forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, no reoccupation, no siege or blockade, and no reduction in territory. And after this war is over, the voices of Palestinian people and their aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza.

As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution. I have been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop and that those committing the violence must be held accountable. The United States is prepared to take our own steps, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank.

The international community must commit resources to support the people of Gaza in the immediate aftermath of this crisis, including interim security measures, and establish a reconstruction mechanism to sustainably meet Gaza’s long-term needs. And it is imperative that no terrorist threats ever again emanate from Gaza or the West Bank.

If we can agree on these first steps, and take them together, we can begin to imagine a different future. In the months ahead, the United States will redouble our efforts to establish a more peaceful, integrated and prosperous Middle East — a region where a day like Oct. 7 is unthinkable.

It's all bluff and bluster.

Meanwhile half the Gaza strip has been razed to rubble and is soon to be the new Israeli Costa del Sol.

Keep making the right noises Biden it's nearly over now.

I agree with Biden, provided that the Palestineans acknowledge Israels right to exist. They don't so this is not an issue. There was an agreement on the table that acknowledged the right to a state for both but the Palestineans - Yassir Arafat back then - did not sign it.

There have been several attempts to establish a 2 state solution. All have failed for one reason or another. Will another attempt be a failure or will this time given the magnitude of this "war" finally bring it about? Worth a try imho.

What other states have this precondition?

I do believe that all the decent plots are taken by now.

Arabs HAVE been offered a state of their own, other than the 22 established muslim ones in the area. From 1936 they have been offered their country, which they could have called Palestine FIVE times, they always said no as they don't want a 2 state solution just one, their own. Pity Israel always agreed while muslim hatred of Jews prevented them accepting, they thought constant war was a better option. Palestinian IQ is usually rated about 77!

they deserve fuck all.

This is a war between good and evil.

Thought I'd watch 5 minutes of this address at the UN by the son of one of the founders of Hamas but watched the lot, passionate and dead right

“ This is a war between good and evil.“

They are Palestinians you racist English prat and they already had their own land which another English prat (Arthur Balfour) gave to the jews.

The Balfour declaration acknowledges Palestine in its opening statement "Establishment in Palestine of a national home for the jewish people"

Offering the Palestinians their own state in someone else's land is not a solution, two wrongs doesn't make one right.

Arabs did not start calling themselves Palestinians until Arafat founded the PLO in 1964, he should have called in the IDO - the destruction of Israel organisation. The Arabs were not indigenous, that is the Jews who were there in their capital Jerusalem over 3000 years ago, and there were always Jews living there even after the war with Rome. When the PLO was founded Israel only occupied itself, all the other areas it went onto occupy, Sinai, Gaza, west bank and Golan height were all the result of it being attacked by muslim armies, the first war being the day after Israel was founded.
There is NO Palestine to free, Gaza has been since 2005 and the rest of the old mandate is Israel and part of Jordan. It has nothing to do with race, it's a problem of religious hatred on the part of muslims who could have had a two state solution over and over. Nobody mentions 'freeing' all the countries Islamic countries occupied, how about freeing Cyprus from the invaders or Constantinople ?

Whatever land the palestinians receive by way of an internationally agreed settlement, one thing is guaranteed and that is they will turn it into a filthy, decrepit and ungovernable corrupt shithole within 3 years. Their women will be subjugated, poofs will be jailed or worse, and the tribal infighting that has blighted the islam world for millennia will continue unabated.

in spite of the outpouring of hypocritical and mawkish handwringing by the wests wokester loons, fired up as usual by the cynical nihilist activist mob with their oppressor/oppresed colonial shite, the palestinians have no real friends. they are pariahs. duplicitous and untrustworthy.

best the israelis are left to kill hamas, and then show the women and children the path to democracy and human rights, because left to their "brothers", they will just continue to be used as pawns in the "river to the sea" agenda promoted noisily by iran and less noisily by syria, russia and the increasingly lawless scum of the yemen.

and its no good blaming the brits or balfour. that was 80 years ago. it's what is happening now that needs attending to.

Damn .you boys even got all the new members all fired up.

We've got to save the children!

To be honest; I have been searching for a decent excuse to kill them palestinian children.

Finally you came up with a reasonable one

Thanks
