==Palestinian views on Bi-National State==

The two sources come from opinion pieces and don't really say anything. The part that says Palestinians wanted people to be second class citizens is not really supported and seems intended to make the Palestinians look like racists.

I propose either removing the section or adding more detail on the level of support such as polling. Right now it just seems a propaganda piece for pro-Israel voices.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2605:6000:ECC8:F00:20C9:8BEB:C926:84BD|2605:6000:ECC8:F00:20C9:8BEB:C926:84BD]] ([[User talk:2605:6000:ECC8:F00:20C9:8BEB:C926:84BD#top|talk]]) 17:37, 24 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Almost two years later, this section has not been fixed. The two pieces cited [25] and [26] in no way talk about the Palestinians views of the one-state solution after the 1930's. [26] states "Today, the prospect of such a binational state emerging is even more remote: Neither people wants a binational state, especially after more than a century of mutual bloodletting and warfare." This provides zero evidence of modern Palestinian support either for or against a binational state. Comparing the anti-immigration sentiment of Mandatory Palestine in the 1930's-1940's to the open air prisons and other such atrocities going on today is disingenuous. Either remove this section or flesh it out with actual citations containing real evidence. - User: Nyaalek 9:51 8 April 2021

the need for this section to be fixed is urgent & its disheartening to see two years of inaction on the part of the class of wikipedia editors privleged to be able to edit this section.  as other editors have stated, the article used as citation for the claim that palestinians do not support a binational approach (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/rashida-tlaib-misled-skullduggery-listeners-israel/589417/) does not actually cite any reliable source such as polling on the claim that the binational approach is unsupported among palestinians, nor is it even a news article.  its simply a one-sided opinion piece & which does not qualify as a legitimate source of information to cite something as important as palestinian views on binationalism. anyone can write whatever they want in an opinion piece, that doesnt make it a reliable source.  

as the conflict between palestinians and settler colonial israeli policies comes to the forefront of international attention, more people will be turning to this website for information, & currently what they are going to get when they go to this page is an uncited claim from a propaganda piece.  it is imperative that someone from the class of wikipedians who are allowed to edit this article take responsibility for the fact that as it stands, this article is spreading harmful misinformation.  everyone who can change that but instead stands around ignoring this years-long flaw is complicit in that.

:The wiki article on the London Conference of 1946-1947 directly contradicts the statement in the current article, as the Arab Constitutional Proposal describes a single state with equal rights and full religious freedom.

I agree with [[User:Neonpixii|Neonpixii]] and advocate for removal or clarifying with reliable sources. I came across this section and clicked through to the citation [26]. It is an opinion piece by written by [[Benny Morris]], who is a self-proclaimed Zionist and '''has no authority''' to speak on behalf of all Palestinians.

:Sauceweb's comments remind me of the infamous [[Reza_Aslan#2013_Fox_News_interview|Fox News interview with Reza Aslan]].  In that interview, Dr. Aslan was told that he '''has no authority''' to write about Jesus since he is a self-proclaimed Muslim.  Of course, the answer to that bigoted statement is that if Dr. Aslan did the research and is an expert on the subject at hand, he can speak about it with authority despite whatever religious/political views he may identify with personally.  --[[User:GHcool|GHcool]] ([[User talk:GHcool|talk]]) 18:04, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

::Where you miss is that Reza writes from a historical perspective, hence objective in nature. Whereas the source in question ([26]) is purely subjective as it is an opinion piece. Regardless of Benny Morris's credentials, what he writes as an opinion does not automatically make it objective and true. The same is applied to Aslan as well if he were to write an opinion piece. It's ridiculous to claim that Morris's opinion can be taken as an authority for what ordinary Palestinians want regarding their self-determination. It's doubly ridiculous that we are even sitting here essentially debating the meaning of "opinion". [[User:Sauceweb|Sauceweb]] ([[User talk:Sauceweb|talk]]) 20:23, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

There should not be a reference to the Green Party of the United States. That is one organization within a very small movement in the United States. This article serves a purpose of clarifying what the one-state solution is. No one in the US or Israel or Palestine is turning to the GPUS for guidance here. 

The section also equates Iran's policy that Israel has no right to exist with the one-state solution. That is very, very confusing. There is no reference to any information on Iran. This should also be removent.

"During the following years, a large population of Jews living in Arab nations (close to 800,000) left or were expelled from their homes in what has become known as the Modern Jewish Exodus and subsequently resettled in the new State of Israel."

This sentence from the article gives an impression that is not in compatible with the well sourced article [[Jewish exodus from the Muslim world]]. 

This article states that the number of Jews resettling in Israel from Arab countries between 1948 and 1951 was 260.000. 
If you instead focus on the exodus from Muslim-majority countries (not only the Arab ones) between 1948 and 1980 it is stated as being 650.000. 

The sentence should be edited for clarity. At the moment it seems to imply, that the number of Jews from Arab countries resettling in Israel during 'the following years' exceed the number of Jews resettling in Israel across more than three decades and from both Arab and non-Arab Muslim-majority countries.

Currently, the opening text in the "Palestinian views on a binational state" lack any sources and direct quotes. Please update the opening paragraph with the following text, quote, and sources:


Prior to the 1960s, a binational state was not accepted among Palestinians. The Palestinian position evolved following Israel's victory in the Six-Day War, when it became no longer realistic to expect the militarily powerful and densely populated Jewish state to disappear. Eventually, Palestinian leadership began flirting with the idea of a two-state solution.[28] However, some remained open to a one-state solution with equal rights for all; as a leader of the PLO’s prevailing Fatah faction observed in 1969, “there is a large Jewish population in Palestine, and it has grown considerably in the last twenty years. We recognize that it has the right to live there and that it is part of the Palestinian people. We reject the formula that the Jews must be driven into the sea. If we are fighting a Jewish state of a radical kind, which had driven the Arabs out of their lands, it is not so as to replace it with an Arab state which would in turn drive out the Jews. What we want to create in the historical borders of Palestine is a multiracial democratic state...a state without any hegemony, in which everyone, Jew, Christian, or Muslim will enjoy full civic rights.”[29][30] [31]

A fifth model is to establish two dozen or more co-equal cantons similar the Swiss model.  Such diverse figures as the prominent Zionist leader, [[Itamar Ben-Avi]], offered variants of this idea in the 1930s and 1940s.  In 1947, several nations, including [[Lebanon]], proposed dividing Palestine into multiple Jewish and Arab "cantons."  The UN rejected the plan in favor of a two-state solution. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Beito |first=David |title=A Way Out Of The Israel-Palestine Conflict: A Swiss Style Canton System|url=https://www.19fortyfive.com/2023/06/a-way-out-of-the-israel-palestine-conflict-a-swiss-style-canton-system|journal=19FortyFive|date=June 9, 2023}}</ref>

== But there are three "one state solutions"? ==

: There are two other, not entirely mutually exclusive, versions of the One State Solution that don't seem to be convered here? e.g. Netenyahu, Ben Gvir, and the guy who got killed on 2001-10-17 all seem(ed) to support a "one state solution" … but it doesn't sound like this one? There are infinite one state solutions, depending on what sort of state it would be, but there's at least '''three broad ideas'''.
:* bi-national
:* it's all Israel
:* it's all Palestine
: …and then each of the One Nation states (fittingly, the name of a somewhat [[Pauline Hanson | objectionable]] political party in my own country) have ethno-Nationalist and religios spins them.  It gets blurry in that advocates of each of the one nation solutions often claim - disingenuously, and intermittently depending on their audience - to want a bi-national state. But there are still 3 central ideas, even if the boundaries blur. 
:  '''If they have their own names or articles, they should have a prominant link in the "See Also" or "Don't Confuse".''' 
: Do such articles exist?
: What are their names? 
: If they don't already exist then this article needs a '''new subsection for each'''.

Hello, I'm a volunteer for the One Democratic State Initiative, a small Palestinian political endeavor advocating for the creation of one secular state as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We would like to request to be added on the page, under the ''In favor'' section, thank you very much.

This is our website if you need more information: https://odsi.co/en, and this is what should be put on the page if the request is granted:

''The One Democratic State Initiative, a Palestinian-led political endeavor, advocates for one singular secular Palestinian state, where all citizens have the same rights and freedom of movement.'' 

Please make small edits where you see necessary.

== Corrections and explanations needed ==

The Jewish "community" did not accept the two state partition plan. The Jewish Agency did. Zionists did not accept the partition plan.

More also needs to be said and described about what the one-state unitary democracy that was proposed by the Arab states in 1946 and 1947, what did it entail and why was it rejected? Otherwise it is a disservice to history and injustice to Palestinians to frame that rejection without any context or explanation and to follow the rejection of the two-state landgrab solution with the point of invasion.

== Group Rename and Broken Links ==
The ''Reut Institute'' was renamed to ''Reut Group'', and changed its website along with it. The citation https://www.reut-institute.org/Publication.aspx?PublicationId=346 is dead along with https://reut-institute.org. Someone needs to go through and rename the group on the page to ''Reut Institute'' and the sources to their new website at https://www.reutgroup.org/ --[[User:Swesham|Swesham]] ([[User talk:Swesham|talk]])  <!--Template:Undated--><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 06:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Change the reference link for 13 to this URL instead: https://apnews.com/united-states-government-e5c04516ee3c40d9800768573e2f7a8e 

The current link is dead, but this is likely the same wire copy filed by the AP reporter, Josh Lederman, and has the same quotes referenced. [[User:Paul Brescia|Paul Brescia]] ([[User talk:Paul Brescia|talk]]) 10:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

The British Mandate of Palestine also included modern-day Jordan. I feel this is important to mention.

== [[One-state reality]] should be a redirect to a section in [[Israeli apartheid]] rather than here ==

Right now, "one-state reality" is bolded in the introductory paragraph, but the one-state reality is a framework for understanding the status quo and is not directly related to proposed solutions, such as the one-state solution. The "one-state reality" as described by Michael Barnett ([https://mondoweiss.net/2023/04/the-one-state-reality-goes-mainstream/ see this article]) is that what currently exists in Israel is apartheid and that '''"what matters is that the apartheid label accurately describes the facts on the ground and offers the beginnings of a road map to change them."''' The connection that Bennett draws with solutions is specifically that the "one-state reality" is a direct challenge to the [[Two-state solution]] because '''"...this one-state reality contrasts with the illusory idea that there is a democratic Israel, however flawed, that is a distinct entity from the area under its military occupation since 1967."'''

David Remnick's 2014 New Yorker article (the one currently used in this article) uses the phrase "one-state reality" and refers to the status quo (of 2014). Again, the "one-state reality" is offered as a critique of the two-state solution through quoting several people who dismiss the two-state solution.

So basically, I propose that "One-state reality" is redirected to a newly written section of [[Israeli apartheid]] that would explain how scholars have used "One-state reality" to discuss apartheid and critique the two-state solution.
