America's views of Israel have turned more negative over the past three years. More than half of U.S. adults (53%) now express an unfavorable opinion of Israel, up from 42% in March 2022.

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.

The term one-state reality describes the belief that the current situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the ground is that of one de facto country.^[3] The one-state solution is sometimes referred to as the bi-national state, owing to the hope that it would successfully deliver self-determination to Israelis and Palestinians in one country, thus granting both peoples independence as well as absolute access to all of the land.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rival Benny Gantz formed a governing coalition under a unity deal. Included in this deal is an agreement allowing Israel's government to start the domestic process of "annexing" parts of the occupied West Bank that includes Israeli settlements and the area of the Jordan Valley.

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