no more two-state solution

The Death of the Two-State Solution in Israel and a Practical Way Forward; and Impacts for Australia

26 February 2025

6 MINS

The Two-State Solution (2SS) is a proposed framework for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by establishing two separate states (within the current borders of Israel) for two peoples: Israel for the Jewish people and Palestine for the Arab people. This approach attempts to address the competing national aspirations of both groups by creating an independent Arab state alongside the state of Israel.

The 2SS formula utterly fails to provide the parties with genuine enforceable assurances of peace, protection, and safety. The chant, used by the pro-Palestinian agitators, ‘Free Palestine! Free Palestine! From the River to the Sea, Palestinians shall be free!’ means the utter destruction of the Jewish people, i.e. real genocide.

Refer to:

  1. “River to the Sea” (pipe) dream
  2. A Q&A Primer on Hamas – Part 5: What is the Occupation?

We now know that this solution can never work due to the overwhelming move by the Palestinians to see all Jews killed and for the land of Israel to be under total Arab rule. All ‘land for peace’ deals have failed miserably with significant loss of life.

Israel unilaterally withdrew all Jewish people and military from Gaza in 2005, handing over a thriving area with infrastructure, business, and agriculture. Hamas was elected in 2006 and systematically implemented a totalitarian regime to oppress its own people and terrorise Israel via tens of thousands of rocket attacks and many other terror incursions into Israel that have continued to this day. Similarly, the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Judea and Samaria allows and encourages terrorists to operate freely within the areas under its control.

Clearly, there needs to be a better solution.

A Radical but Viable Solution

We must pray, intercede, and take political action to bring about real solutions to the horror of what is really going on against Israel and the Jewish people.

If people around the globe really cared about the Palestinians, this is the narrative they would push: settle for what you have now, or start thinking about emigrating to other Arab states. This is the only practical, real long-term solution.

This has happened before, and while difficult, the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 after the British handed over control was needed for the stability of that region and prevented a major civil war. The 1922 Partition Plan of Israel, including Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank) and Trans-Jordan (now Jordan), is what we still need today.

‘The truth is that Jordan is Palestine, and Palestine is Jordan.’
— King Hussein I of Jordan in a newspaper interview, 26th November 1981

While both difficult and unpopular, there is no other viable way to ensure long-term security and peace in the region. Even King Hussein recognised this truth.

In 1920, the Great Powers, under the auspices of the League of Nations, agreed at a summit in San Remo that the Jewish people should have a state of their own, in what was known as the Mandate for Palestine. This was ratified in 1922. (Refer to “1922 League of Nations — Partition plans”.)

The land of Israel was to be all the land from the Mediterranean Sea to what is now Jordan. Because of pressure from the Arabs, the British government reneged on this agreement and created Transjordan for the Hashemite kingdom. So effectively, the proposed Jewish state was cut in half (actually 23% — 77%).

A Palestinian State Already Exists

A Palestinian State Already Exists

Following World War II, partition of the remaining area of Israel was mooted at the United Nations, giving an even smaller amount of land to the Jews. The Jews accepted; the Arabs rejected.

A vote at the UN brought Israel into existence, and Israel declared Independence. Five Arab armies started a war on the fledgling State of Israel, which Israel miraculously won.

The army of Jordan, with British officers, drove all Jews out of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.  Please note that Israel is a miniscule portion of land compared with the Arab territories. In fact, it would fit in Australia about 350 times.

So, in summary, the ‘promised land’ was cut in half, then cut in half again, and then its long-term Jewish residents were ethnically cleansed.

Following the end of the War of Independence (1948-49), hundreds of thousands of Arabs became refugees in the surrounding states of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Hundreds of thousands of Jews (over 850,000) living in Arab lands also became displaced refugees, and mainly settled in Israel.

The Arab League created a policy denying citizenship, passports or meaningful employment to refugee Arabs in any Arab state, effectively making all original refugees and their successors stateless. Add to that the dishonesty of “Palestinian” leaders, who in reality act as gangsters, stealing aid money and using their own people as human shields, glorifying the killing of Israelis and paying bounties to those who attempt murder, and you will understand that one side has firmly and indisputably been the main negative actor throughout the history.

The 1922 plan was continued by Article 80 of the United Nations Charter (see Note 1 at the end of this article), and no Arabs have ever agreed to any other plan than that Israel should include Golan, Judea, Samaria (a.k.a the West Bank), and Gaza.

Australian Impacts and Stance

The Australia-Israel Allies Caucus was re-formed a couple of weeks ago, consisting of sitting members of the Australian parliament who have committed to stand with Israel. This is a good step forward as we as a nation must support Israel, otherwise all else is in vain; all the battles are lost if we do not bless Israel. (Refer to “Australia-Israel Allies Caucus is part of a global network of parliamentarians who support Israel and the Jewish people”.)

We must remember our history. ANZACs have given their all for Israel since World War I. Remember Beersheba, Tobruk, and El Alamein. Australia has invested its blood into Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel). Please read “ANZAC Heroes” for more detailed information.

From the River to the Sea” is a call for true genocide of the Jewish people and must be vehemently opposed by all Australians, especially the Government. The lie that is propagated by the terror organisations that Israel is committing genocide is fully debunked in this article.

This spirit of death cannot be allowed, these are demonic forces. Thus, it is both a spiritual and physical war, and as a nation, we must take the lead to oppose the 2SS.

Around 2 to 4 June 2025, the UN will be pushing for some form of enforced implementation of the 2SS, which will lead to another Holocaust if implemented.

Australia has a voice in the UN, and we must speak against this proposal. Australia is at a crossroads in regard to Israel, and must take a godly and righteous stand for Israel and the Jewish people that will mean lasting peace.

We must also be aware that God’s judgement will be, in part, about how we treated His people and how we allowed His land to be divided.

I will also gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land. ~ Joel 3:2

The current UN-backed peace process is bankrupt, and the corrupt end goal is the destruction of Israel. The truth is the whole pro-Palestinian 2SS is pure hate for God and His chosen people. The concept of Palestine (as invented by Yasser Arafat and the KGB in 1964) is a weapon for the destruction of Israel. Australia must not be complicit with these plans.

Action Plan

The message that needs to be communicated most strongly to our governmental leaders is simple:

A Two State Solution is a 21st Century “FINAL SOLUTION.”
For Israel’s sake, DO NOT SUPPORT THIS GENOCIDAL PLAN!

Actions we all need to take:

  • Pray and intercede for Israel
  • Call and write emails to both your local federal members and senators opposing the 2SS
  • Tell as many people as you can about this situation
  • Tell your leaders, pastors, etc
  • Lobby your state politicians to police and protect us all from the madness of the pro-Palestinian movement

Please take action today!

If you need more information or want to discuss this call to action, please contact me via the Canberra Declaration office (or directly if you have my contact details).

Prayer:

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem according to Psalm 122:6. May all those within its walls have security. May shalom (peace and well-being) be known on every street corner. And Lord, I am willing to seek what is best for Jerusalem’s sake.

Hebrew: עם ישראל חי (Am Yisrael Chai)
Meaning: The people of Israel live.

Note 1:

Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, also known as the “Palestine Article”, protects the rights of the Jewish people to live in Palestine (which includes the land we know as Jordan). It also ensures that the rights of peoples under mandates remain valid.

How does Article 80 apply to Israel?

  • It guarantees the right of Jews to live in Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria, and in Gaza.
  • It preserves the rights granted to the Jewish people under the Mandate for Palestine.
  • It ensures that the rights of the Jewish people to Palestine and the Land of Israel are not to be altered.

    Thankyou Kym. This is an excellent, information packed article, which I needed to reread a couple of times to try to get my head around the complex history of this crisis. In regards to conversations with people, even christians, the stubborn belief in our culture is that geopolitical Israel is aggressive and genocidal, especially towards children and innocent civilians. Arguing against this is often met with a hostile road block.
    Ironically this desire to protect and defend innocent life belongs to the Judaeo /Christian world view, closely related to loving and fearing our Creator God. But the propaganda producers have nabbed western minds with this idea alone. Mosab Hassan Youse rightly identified the reality that western minds mostly have no concept or framework to really understand middle eastern interactions, steeped in history, and allowing lies and deception to achieve conquest and occupation. God alone can open hearts and minds to see things more clearly, and for this we pray, beginning in our churches.

      Thanks Andrea. Facts and understanding are missing from the anti-Israel lobby. Especially understanding middle eastern and islamic concepts.

    Appreciate your article, and information enclosed.
    To gain a God understanding requires faith in Adonai Elohim, and only comes with repentance and renewal of our thinking, disregarding by recognising media deception.

    Well said Andrea
    The truth is denied by so many so called Christians. Satan is doing an amazing job of turning the facts on their head.

    Someone close to me had their mind changed by the Book ‘Israel, whose land is it anyway’, available from The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, INC.
    I thoroughly recommend it.

    Could we have a list of all members of the newly formed Australia-Israel Allies Caucus?
    We can pray for them and also encourage them.

      Thanks Ian. Hilary was there and has a list (I think).

    Thankyou Kym for your complete summary.
    The western world has been deceived by activists and anti semetic voices who shout down truth with vitriol and hatred. Be this deliberate or simply stupidity, each actor would play the part.
    I well remember the time when Palestinian terrorism was abhorrent, instead of being labelled ‘justified’. How sad.

    • Kym in Adelaide 26 February 2025 at 6:33 pm - Reply

      Thanks Leonie. The whole pro-palestinian movement is based on a foundation of lies.

    After WW1 the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist. It became confined to Anatolia + the city of Constantinople, renamedTurkey + Istanbul respectively. Agreement was to transfer populations , eg all Greeks who had lived in Anatolia since antiquity were exiled ,with only what they could carry, to Greece , while the Muslims took over their homes + land in Anatolia ! The victorious Allies (UK + France ) were decidedly pro-Arab thanks to the advice of British Spy, ” Lawrence of Arabia”. It was on his advice that they decided to partition the Ottoman Empire by inventing Arab kings +countries. Today we see the result of this stupidity +the anti-Semiticism of the French + UK govts which is the the Arab-Israeli problem. Israel was from time immemorial all the land which is in dispute today. Time for the Arab invaders to be returned to the deserts whence they came or to be reunited with their Arab bretheran in Jordan , etc.
    Muslim religion is uncompromising . It will only acceptt he extermination of all Jews! That a 2 -State Solution would “solve ” the problem is Fantasy ! Read what Winston Churchill said about the Muslims ! Sorry about some of my spelling , since a serious injury which should have killed me , it is not what it used to be!
