New era

Palestine must try to get a sovereign state as soon as possible. That is in their best interests. Status quo is only good for Israel. Palestine must come again and again to the negotiation table and push for their demands. Palestine would prefer that there be no Israel but that is not possible. Things do not go away by wishing it. Moreover, people of Israel are good people and will only add to enriching the culture of the region. So Palestinians need to see what they want with Israel as a state in the picture. That might be surprisingly a new approach to Palestinians. This is not the usual fight against colonization. Unlike colonization, Israel is home to the so called occupiers. They are not there to exploit the region and run but to live there forever.
Creating two states from one is easier said than done. When countries divide there must be some international laws that should be followed about property and life. What happens in practice is loot and murder. The division of India and Pakistan is an example that history should never forget. Unfortunately international history taught in schools is mostly about world wars which pertains to only Europe and couple other countries.
