One state solution where all citizens are equal would make sense in Middle East

The establishment of a Zionist state in the middle of the Arab world for Jewish migrants from Europe was only possible due to the complicity of Western powers and their vested interests .

Israel‘s existence and ongoing expansion of Jewish settlements constitutes the continuation of European colonialism into the 21st century.

Palestine is the Holy Land of three religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity and the fact that a significant number of the Palestinian population supports a secular state, the solution to this seemingly intractable conflict could be the replacement of a Zionist state with a truly democratic nation in which all citizens have equal rights and responsibilities.

The only just solution to this entrenched conflict is to finally allow Palestinians to join in the shared independent state they should have attained following World War Two and to allow for the return of all refugees.

Such a one-state solution is not anti-Semitic, it is sensible.
