The Israel Palestine conflicts

Cannot escape the Israel Palestine conflicts. They have been around forever. People have gotten used to typically seeing Jewish soldiers attacking Palestinians children and women. Of course, we do not see much of Palestinians attacking Jewish people in the media. But we all know such attacks exist. Most people have given up on solving this problem. The Human rights groups cry foul all the time. But the consensus seems to be that Palestinians live in an apartheid state of Israel. Apartheid is shameful in today's world. Israel resorts to it because of terrorism. And unless Palestinians have their own state there will always be terrorism. We all know that Israel has every right to exist. The only Jewish state in the world formed after a lot of pain endured by the Jewish community. Countries are formed randomly. The Britishers fought many wars and changed boundaries like crazy when they were a colonial power. Even before the British boundaries constantly changed and there were always wars. In modern times countries are formed on the basis of whether peace can be maintained. The solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict will be divide the region in to three states - Gaza, West bank, and Israel. Or redraw the boundaries so that two states are possible with secure boundaries. Unfortunately one state is not possible. Because Israel will not give up its only chance of existing as a Jewish state. And because in such a Jewish state terrorism will not go away overnight. Hence a one state solution will come with apartheid for a long long time.
