One of the most harmful and dangerous aspects of the conflict is the tendency to point fingers. The extremists on both sides-whether they are advocates for Israel or vocal supporters of Palestine-seem to find comfort in demonizing the other group, painting them as entirely responsible for the suffering of their people.

Israel will have to accept the reality that Palestinians will never forget about Palestine and Israel will have to engage with Palestinians about sharing Israel-Palestine as equal citizens of a united country.

Equality is not a new or foreign concept in the struggle for justice. Throughout history, marginalized groups have fought for basic human rights, and their successes show that equality is not just a moral ideal, but a practical solution to peace and stability. In the United States, African Americans fought for desegregation, civil rights, and equality before the law.

One of the biggest surprises to emerge from a survey conducted for Arab News by YouGov is the extent of support among Arab Americans for a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A one-state solution remains the most logical route to end the conflict and build a just future for Palestinians and Israelis.

The term most commonly refers to the idea of Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs sharing a single state with full and equal rights for the populations residing in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.

Palestinians, like many people from the Levant, share significant genetic and historical ties with Southern Europeans, which is why they are considered white.
