Yes

 @B9MLXR3People’sfrom Quebec  agreed…4mos4MO

Requiring Palestinians to prove peaceful behavior before a two-state solution keeps delaying peace. In many conflicts, violence decreases after political solutions and clear rights are put in place. A two-state solution could help create peace by giving both sides safety, their own government, and clear borders, which reduces anger.

 @9VD6K7Vfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

A strong counter-argument to the two-state solution is that the current realities on the ground, such as Israeli settlements, make a viable Palestinian state nearly impossible. Additionally, ongoing hostility from some Palestinian factions towards Israel raises concerns about security and the sustainability of peace. Past failed negotiations, coupled with internal divisions within Palestinian leadership, further cast doubt on whether this approach can effectively resolve the conflict.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...6mos6MO

Yes, but I would prefer if all the land was given back to Palestine

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...6mos6MO

No, not until Palestinians demonstrate their willingness for peaceful coexistence

 @9KSKML3from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Israel is an illegitimate state built on apartheid ideology. I support a free, self-determined Palestine where (formerly Israeli) Jews and Palestinians can coexist.

 @9KNP36Ffrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

I do not think a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is possible. I support the abolishment of the ethno-state of Israel, and the formation of a new state that provides equal rights for all people regardless of race and religion.

 @9JWZHWWfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

No, Israel has continuously violated any attempt at peace.. The only way for the conflict to stop is by having a free Palestinian state.

 @9KY7DCBfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No, The land of Palestine should be returned to the Palestinians just as it was before the Zionist migration to their (Palestinians) land, claiming it as theirs (Zionists), and causing trouble amongst the locals(Palestinians).

 @9JSGBK9from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Israel is a terorist state and should be charged with genocide of killing so many innocent children and families with a long occupation for 75 years

Only if it is done with justice, by implementing affirmative action for Palestinians in order to reconcile with the horrors and harms done to them.

Only if Palestinians officially recognized and Israeli state and the right to exist, and there is a peaceful entity to negotiate with. Otherwise, we should favour Israel only

 @9T7LR7Sfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Theoretically, the two state solution should have been the best solution for both governments. However, with how hostile the current governments of Israel and Palestine are to each other, it does not work in it's current state; it would need reform in order to work.

 @B46V7MRLibertarianfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

The formation of Israel was illegitimate and an act of terror. Since it exists now, the expedient solution would be to remove all support offered to any involved parties including the Zionists and Hamas, and force a resolution, either by peace or by war. 70 years of the west standing next to Zionists and handing them weapons and resources to facilitate Israel's "mowing the grass" has corrupted our souls, done permanent damage in the region, and made the world a more dangerous place.

To this day, the USA pays Egypt and Israel billions of dollars annually to NOT go to war, and that is considered a model for effective peace! Enough is enough.

 @B3YW962from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No, I don’t support anything to do with Israel or Palestine. I support Canada because I’m Canada. This is my country. I don’t care about Israel or Palestine or what happens or does not happen there. Not my country, not my business. Canada first means Canada first and Canadians only.

 @B23CRQ3from Nova Scotia  answered…1yr1Y

No, only a 1 state solution, called Palestine from the river to the sea. Eliminate Israel from the world and we should finance, arm and train Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, Lion's Den, Ansar Allah and IRGC-Quds Force, PFLP, DFLP, etc.

I think there will never be peace until Israel is completely gone. It shouldn't exist in the first place. Israel shouldn't and should never have been considered a state. They have killed and murdered THOUSANDS if not millions of innocent Palestinians in order to fully take their land and get rid of Palestinians completely. Israel is an apartheid state, they aim to ethnically cleanse Palestine. If the Canadian government is truly sorry for what they did to indigenous peoples in Canada. Then they would condemn Zionism and Israel.

The entirety of Palestine needs to be returned to original borders, they must be given full reparations for the billions of dollars of damage and incalculable lives lost, and every single person accused of war crimes or who profitted from this must be tried at the Hague.

 @9WFR74Q from Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

I do not support a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine because I believe Israel is fundamentally rooted in apartheid and Zionist supremacy. This foundation is reflected in ongoing ethnic cleansing and systemic human rights violations, such as the displacement of Palestinian communities, the blockade of Gaza, and the unlawful expansion of settlements. I advocate for the dissolution of Israel as a state due to these war crimes and violations of international law.

 @B6YS9LYfrom British Columbia  answered…8mos8MO

I don't follow that and I have no idea what the initial act that caused the conflict was in the first place

A two-state solution is no longer possible, a one-state solution is now the only favorable outcome, and the only other one being a total expulsion of Palestinians, the "settlers" on former Palestinian land will not leave, and it would be unreasonable to make them, a one-state solution would allow for equal rights for all, Muslim, Jewish, or even christian.

They should just stop the war, because there has been no resolution for over 70 years now. Killing innocent people will not get one country the others land. They should discuss all their options but rule out continuing war.

First, I would like to express my thought by saying "I am against genocide", no matter who the victims are – Aboriginal people, Black people, Muslims, Christians, Jewish people, Palestinians, or anyone else. Stopping the killing of innocent people is the most important thing, because everyone is human, no matter their race or where they come from. History shows that this land always belonged to the Palestinian people. They even gave Israelis a safe place to stay when they were killed and was homeless. So, it's wrong for Israelis to kill innocent people now and say it'…  Read more

While there was a time where a two state solution was ideal, because of the overwhelming and illegal settler project in the West Bank, a two-state solution would in turn force some several hundred thousand people from their homes. The most humanitarian solution is actually a non-religious one state solution, where all its citizens, no matter their background, ethnicity, or religion, would have equal rights under the law. Not unlike the dissolution of the Apartheid South Africa.

 @B3PYW9Cfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y
