The Israel – Palestine issue has been at the heart of multiple wars, political debates and ongoing tensions for decades. Both sides have their versions of history and both sides feel they are the ones who are right and the “other side” wrong.

It has been said of the two-state solution that it is a terrible idea for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict but better than all the other alternatives.
