2. The original UN plan on the establishment of the new state of Israel

way back in 1957 was for a two state solution.

You know, two equal states living side by side with each other, equal respect and trade.

There is nothing wrong with stating that, but instead Israel has become a weaponised state over the last 77 years with the mindset to implement pre-emptive 'defensive' strikes on its neighbours.
Or to put it more simply, 'get them before they get you'.

Fairly pointless for the Australian Ms Wong to push that line, but it is the official line for many countries.
It's far too late for the two state solution to work, but the current alternative - of major forces - USA, Iran - fighting an escalating proxy war in the area needs a solution. Quickly. Yesterday.
