    The Israel–Palestine debate centers on two main narratives. Pro-Israel advocates emphasize Israel’s right to security, historical and religious connections to the land, and legal recognition as a sovereign state. Pro-Palestine supporters focus on the Palestinian right to self-determination, ending occupation, and upholding human and civil rights under international law. Both sides raise historical grievances, questions of legitimacy, and concerns about justice and peace prospects. The discussion navigates competing nationalisms, legal frameworks, and policy proposals—ranging from a two-state solution to alternative arrangements—while addressing the humanitarian impact on civilians.

    In my opinion both states are at fault and neither is wholeheartedly in the right. So that's why my vote is at 50 percent. Now focusing on what this websites more built for is to find the solution to this debate. So the options are: Two state solution (Create an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel), One-State Solution (One democratic state where Israelis and Palestinians live as equals), Confederation Model (Two sovereign states (Israel and Palestine) with open borders and shared institutions), International Trusteeship or UN Administration (Temporary - International community governs the territory temporarily to stabilize the situation) or no solution and you just instead maintain the current situation with periodic flare-ups and ceasefires.
