The Zionist leaders of 1947 accepted this partition. The war that Hamas began on Oct. 7 was not in pursuit of a future state in which Jews and Arabs would coexist. It was a violent expression of the idea that Mr. Baconi expresses in more polite but nonetheless clear terms, that the presence of Jews in their ancestral and historical homeland is fundamentally illegitimate. Neil SchlugerBronxTo the Editor:Tareq Baconi argues against a two-state solution, considering it a ploy for continued Israeli domination. Yet he fails to articulate an alternative amenable to both Israelis and Palestinians.

☆ For Israelis and Palestinians, the Two-State ‘Solution’ Isn’t a Solution At All - The New York Times

More than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed, and the international community has reverted to a deeply familiar call for a two-state solution, where Palestinians and Israelis can coexist in peace and security. President Biden even declared “the only real solution is a two-state solution” in his State of the Union address last month. The language that surrounds a two-state solution has lost all meaning. And fundamentally, the concept of the two-state solution has evolved to become a central pillar of sustaining Palestinian subjugation and Israeli impunity. Palestine was largely absent from the international agenda until Israeli Jews were killed on Oct. 7.

Hamas derided the Palestinian Authority for its cooperation with Israel, including the use of Palestinian police to prevent attacks on Israel. Instead of firing rockets over issues in Gaza, Hamas was fighting for concerns central to all Palestinians, including those outside the enclave. “The Israelis were only concerned with one thing: How do I get rid of the Palestinian cause?” Mr. Hamdan said. But inside Gaza, Hamas’s capabilities grew. That restoration deepened the relationship between Hamas’s military wing in Gaza and the so-called axis of resistance, Iran’s network of regional militias, according to regional diplomats and security officials.

This is the reality for Palestinians living in Gaza without the protection of a robust civil defense infrastructure. “In Gaza, we don’t have anything…you have nowhere to go, no bomb shelters, no refuge, you are in the street,” Baroud said. In Gaza, the call or text alerts are far from guaranteed and – at most – give residents a few minutes to evacuate. These warning systems are able to calculate the location where a rocket is projected to land and set off a siren in the targeted area, often giving residents advance notice to find shelter. With far less resources, Gaza hasn’t built anything comparable to the Israeli defense systems.

Like Jenin, the Gaza Strip also has a history of resistance against Israeli occupation. Alongside food restriction policies and an economic chokehold, this took the form of devastating military assaults. In the time between the two invasions of Jenin, Palestinians throughout the West Bank have been systematically funneled — through land expropriation, home demolitions and expansion of settlements — into isolated urban centers surrounded by land occupied by Israel. Just like Gaza, most urban centers in the West Bank can now be, overnight, entirely severed from the ecosystem around them, as was witnessed in Jenin. “We have to settle the land of Israel and at the same time need to launch a military campaign, blow up buildings, assassinate terrorists.
