Long before discussing a one or two state solution, there must be an agreement to end the occupation.
Over the past 60 years or so the situation in Palestine has reached astronomical dimensions that stretch far beyond what could have been expected.
In the midst of it all, Palestinians past and present have watched their young killed, jailed or exiled, their homes blown up, their fields ravished and their olive trees uprooted, their freedoms ripped away from them and their country depleted by the day.
All of this was done to them by Israel and its supporters in the name of freedom, godly wish and imperialism.
How do you explain to a young Palestinian that his father is being kept in Israeli jail because he was born Palestinian? How do you explain to a young Palestinian that his sibling was shot because he or she wanted to look out of the window? How do you explain to a young Palestinian that he has to ration his drinking water so an Israeli youngster can swim? How do you explain to a young Palestinian that all of the countries in the world are against you because you keep saying no to occupation, corruption and imperialism?
