I must put a huge bounty on this question, but I don't have a lot of money as a poor Palestinian :D
So excuse me for that!
The question is:
In your opinion, what is the ultimate solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
You should have good historical and political knowledge in order to give a good answer.
Let's hear your opinions !
Dear my friend, thank you to join our Steem-bounty family! We accept everybody from every religion or politic following, but we cannot say something which is over our control. You know they are fighting from the Christ years and now nothing is changed, so we hope someone can find a solution, but it is very hard and always the power of money win against pour people, unfortunately everywhere, not only in your country...:(((

In a perfect world there could be an ideal solution. Ever since i can remember this has been an ongoing conflict and so many lives have been sacrificed and martyred. Agreements are made, agreements are not followed through and nothing gets resolved.
To be honest i think that both parties need to take a step back and think am i being human. Am i treating these innocent people the way i would like to be treated. Its easy to sit back and judge when you not directly affected. But how can any be treated in this manner and still look in the mirror and think they are religious person and part of a religious state.
The basis of every religion is peace and humility. If everyone helped his neighbour then who would need help!!

Nice touch from you @mimismartypants
There is also a financial part of this conflict, where you can find some people in both sides benefit financially from this conflict. People with money are often people with power. So this is a big issue.
See now this is where it's getting interesting!! Ive never really thought of this angle, but of course!! War is one of the most profitable industries.
But taking a step back. Being a Muslim myself, my sympathies has always been with the Pakistanians. Of course i know Palistine is home to all religions, not just muslims and all the people are feeling the effects of the conflict. However, i have always seen Palistine as the underdog in the situation and the struggling state, even the persecuted state! But now you mention financial gain from both sides. So this changes my perception slightly, but not much.
I'm very keen to know more if you are willing to elaborate!

As a Palestinian, I can tell that 80% are sick of war and need peace. They are the poor, educated, rich in culture and understanding. A lot of them, including me, have Israeli friends and interact with them daily. If not friends, they would be traders and merchants who they work with. So those people usually want peace.
On the other hand you have %15 who are uneducated and can be driven by the 5% to cause any problems. The 5% are those people who steal the donors money to Palestinians and are very happy in this unstable situation where they can make more money. Poor people (The 80%) are doing their best trying to make a living, and they don't have the time to fight their own government.
So the 5% percent including the government officials abuse this situation to make a lot of money by maintaining the unstable situation with their 15% uneducated brainwashed people! And they call it Patriotism!
I hope this explained something :)
Aaah makes perfect sense!! And of course we only see the worst of the worst publicised!!
This is so enlightening for me!! I have been following this struggle for years but in a few messages, i feel like i have learnt so much more!!
I pray your struggle is only ended by justice and all your sacrifices are rewarded!! It will really be great to read more about your story here!!
While I was a graduate student, I wrote analytical article for "History of the Middle East" course about this issue. However its topic was "why the conflict can not be solved" First of all, is it Israeli-Palestinian conflict or Arab-Israel conflict? If you consider it as Arap-Israel conflict is there a consensus among the Arab states about the definition of the conflict? It seems that there is no consensus about the definition of the conflict. The first step should be to reach a consensus among the Arab states about the definition of the conflict. Only then possible solutions can be discussed.
That's right. Every Arab country has different view of the conflict and there is no One definition. Not even one thing agreed upon.
This is a good note from you @ozgurcinarli . Thank you !
You are Palestinian, so really I'd love to hear from you, what is your solution?
Well, I won't have posted that if I have a solution ! Haha !
My current job is in conflict mitigation and peace building. We currently group Palestinians and Israeli farmers together because they have mutual interest (Farming). This helps in increasing the trust and building relationship on the people's level. I know it's not a big deal, but it's contributing in building peace in one way or another.
I believe that finding mutual interests will make both sides sit together and talk about it, that would remove that barriers and build a new generation with better understanding on both sides.
That actually sounds like a very big deal, a HUGE deal! Do you post about your group's efforts? Those stories are ones I would love to share through my social networks to show hope and action for peace.
Thank you very much for your interest!
The work takes too much effort. I also have two other side jobs to be able to survive.
I also spend my time reading rather than writing. I'm weak in terms of writing in English. I will try to share some stories with you and more about this job.
I had also a similar post about how frustrating my job is. You can read it here: https://steemit.com/politics/@rushdbitar/war-and-peace
Will try to share more details, especially about some success stories!
To be honest, I don't think either side actually want a solution they want it their way, no one is going to compromise. Ideally you'd just want everyone to get along and live where they would like, just like any other country.
We went through the same thing in South Africa and its going to take years before we're fully put it behind us but hopefully we're on the right path.
Whah, it's the first times I read something important on steemit. I hope you will write as much as you can. I hope also, other palestinians will do it also. Continue!
Maybe, you can post some picture?

I think it's nearl impossible to find a ultimate solution because on both sides there are people or groups who don't want this conflict to end.
There is also so much hate on both sides it will take at least hundred years before the hate is forgotten. If it ever can be forgotten.

STOPSociety needs to move forward, and move on from the past, because it'll end up a vicious circle loop. Instead they should work together, push out the awkwardness and violence. All this who's land etc is a bit silly, we all live on 1 globe.. time minds were acting like adults, not childish mentality.
Friend , I understand you perfectly, to look for an ideal solution, it would be a wonder that happened, and I wish that it is so, for the good of all the Palestinians, Israelis, and all the neighboring countries, in short, for the world.
Another thing I see is that it is usually the minority who are responsible for causing a lot of havoc in a country, it is absurd but it is real.
I am sure that the immense majority wants peace, but when it is religious, economic, power, and historical, it is difficult to reach agreements (but not impossible).
I very much agree that you have to have a historical knowledge to offer a solution to such conflict, but from the human point of view, it is very basic, simply accept us as we are, children of the same universe, passengers on a short trip over this world, and seeing others as our brothers, that should be enough to end a conflict, but I accept that it is utopian.
I hope that this conflict will end quickly, and they will be able to understand each other as a nation, as a society.
