The two state solution creates difficulties primarily because it refers to both Gaza and Samaria (the West bank), home to two distinct cultural groups.
Gazans are said to be of Greek origin and may have Egyption connections. There are records of foreign kings, called Hyksos who ruled Egypt for 70 years or so, around 1650 B C. and it is thought that they may have later settled in what was then Canaan. Canaan, according to the Table of nations was a son of Ham and grandson of Noah. Canaanites were a Semitic civilisation, and the region of Canaan covered what is now Israel and a wider area that might consist of parts of present day Libya, Syria and more.
Current conflict between Israel and Gaza originated in 2005 with the election of Hamas. This marked the beginning of the mechanics of the two state solution. Some Israeli residents had to be forcibly removed from Gaza, the inhabitants of which are now subjugated to both Hamas and the Israeli authorities.
Protests by Gazans who want the same rights as Israeli citizens, to be able to move around freely and have equal opportunities, are not tolerated by the authorities and there has been reports of thousands of injuries and many deaths.
Current protests are called, ‘We want to live,’ and are mainly directed against the Hamas government in Gaza. It’s hard to say what’s going on there but there has been reports of mass executions. Poverty is also described as a major issue.
Hamas took over Samaria (the west bank) in 2006, after a conflict with Fatah who were formerly the Palestinian national liberation movement.
The two state solution in Samaria has resulted in disputes over Jerusalem, and Samaritan inhabitants seeing IDF presence as Israeli occupation. Worse are Israeli plans to squeeze out residents with the ultimate consequence of creating a refugee crisis.
Samaritans are an ethnic group. The first of which have resided in the area since before 1400 BC.
A United Nations initiative under Lord Carson, a British colonial administrator, resulted in a planned withdrawal of Israel from Samaria during the term of Ariel Sharon and a resulting plot to win back and recolonise Samaria systematically. Reports of Israeli activity in Samaria have been detailed.
A one state solution would work on the basis of civil rights for all citizens. The creation of what is now being termed a Jewish state omits to recognise other Isrealis and cultural groups, making Jewish people unpopular and leading to criticism. Hamas is said to be Saudi backed: The problem with elitism is that it leads to conflict.
