The truth shall set us free.
By The Bedouin Report
The world has been told, over and over again, that peace in the Middle East hinges on a two-state solution. This belief has been recycled for decades in UN forums, presidential speeches, diplomatic summits, and academic circles. Yet what has it produced? Endless cycles of violence. Diplomatic paralysis. Entire generations of Palestinians born and buried beneath rubble. And a region that remains hostage to a fantasy that refuses to die. But truth, when spoken clearly, carries its own force. It is time to say what many already know but few dare to admit: the two-state solution is dead. It was never viable. It was never just. And it was never rooted in reality, political, demographic, or scriptural. The only viable future for the land is a one-state solution: a unified Israel, governed justly, where all citizens can pursue safety, prosperity, and dignity.
In the long, painful history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, countless initiatives have come and gone. Each time, hope flickered, Oslo, Camp David, Annapolis, the Road Map, all sold as turning points, only to be followed by breakdowns, rocket fire, and funerals. Behind the headlines, one pattern remains: peace remains elusive because the frameworks themselves are flawed.
Know this: the two-state solution is dead. Not just as a political idea, but as a practical reality. In fact, it was never a solution, which would have defeated divine decree. Is that even possible?
Decades of diplomatic theater have only deepened division. The only workable, just, and sustainable solution is one unified state. Israel, as the sovereign nation over the Holy Land, must lead the way, through inclusion, law, and shared citizenship.
The False Hope of Partition
For years, diplomats have promised peace through partition. But it has become painfully clear that slicing the land in two will not yield harmony. It yields ghettoization, suspicion, and permanent insecurity. Gaza is a prison. The West Bank is a patchwork. The idea of two states has collapsed not because of ideology, but because of geography and power realities.
How many more decades of proposals will it take to realize this truth? How many more UN resolutions, border proposals, and ceasefire agreements must we endure before recognizing that we are repeating the same process and expecting different results? This is not diplomacy. It is madness masquerading as hope.
The Palestinian People Deserve More
In Gaza and the West Bank, the people suffer. Women, children, the elderly, they are the ones caught in rubble, hunger, and despair. While certain leaders live behind bunkers, fly on private jets, and issue inflammatory statements from abroad, everyday Palestinians are deprived of schools, hospitals, electricity, and peace. They are used, not served. Their pain is recycled for international pity and political leverage. The true betrayal is not a political boundary, rather it is the abuse of trust, the manipulation of identity, and the refusal to pursue what would truly serve the people: stability, education, infrastructure, and hope.
What the Quran Says Cannot Be Ignored
Scripture matters. And the Quran is unambiguous.
“O my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back, or you will become losers.” (Surah al-Mā’idah 5:21)
This is not poetic metaphor. It is divine instruction. The Quran refers to the Children of Israel more than forty times, affirming their historic and spiritual connection to the land. It is not given unconditionally. It is given. The covenant was contingent on obedience, not erased by rebellion.
No verse in the Quran assigns the Holy Land to any other people. That does not negate Palestinian humanity or their right to live in dignity. But it does challenge the narrative that modern Israel is a theft. The return of the Jewish people to the land is not colonialism. It is restoration. It is fulfillment of prophecy, and not violation of principle.
One State Is the Only Just Solution
The one-state solution is not a dream. It is the reality already in place. Israel controls the land. The question is how that control is exercised. The answer lies in building a future where every resident, Arab or Jew has the opportunity to live securely, freely, and equally under the law.
Consider the following. A single state can:
- Provide safety and sovereignty for Israel.
- Provide full rights, protections, and citizenship for Palestinians.
- End the cycle of warlords and militias.
- Create space for rebuilding Gaza with international partnership, especially with the Gulf nations and U.S. rebuilding proposals.
The one-state model does not erase Palestinian identity. It protects it. It ends the paralysis of “negotiations” that go nowhere while real lives are lost.
The Region Must Choose Courage
Arab leaders must also face a defining choice. Normalize with Israel, not as a favor, but as a strategic investment in regional peace. The UAE, Bahrain, Morocco have already done so. More should follow. Not out of weakness, but out of vision. President Trump’s call to rebuild Gaza was correct. The way forward is construction, not destruction. The region must stop outsourcing its political conscience to militias and media spin. It must invest in the future, not the grievance.
Tell the Truth, Even When It’s Unpopular
The truth is simple. Israel is a state. It has the right to the land, not just by force or history, but by divine decree. This does not nullify Palestinian suffering. It does not excuse injustice. But it forces us to think with clarity, not slogans. Religious leaders must return to scripture. Political leaders must act with courage. And journalists must report with fidelity, not to ideology, but to evidence. The land cannot bear another generation of endless resistance, false hope, and foreign exploitation. It’s time to build a future. Together.
One Land. One People. One Future. One State is the Beginning of Peace.
People often ask, “Has God forgotten the Palestinians?” “Why does He not intervene?” But the answer lies in the very scripture that millions revere. “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.” (Qur’an 13:11). Islam, after all, means submission, not to emotion, not to ideology, but to truth. When truth is ignored, when divine decree is distorted or dismissed for political ends, what remains is not resistance. It is rebellion. And rebellion against divine truth will never bring liberation. It will only prolong the suffering.
The horror will not stop until the truth is faced. And the truth is clear: for nearly a century, the same strategies, slogans, and cycles have brought only ruin. Isn’t it time to try something different? What do we have to lose by building instead of destroying? What do we have to lose by giving every citizen of the land, Jewish or Arab, the right to live, to dream, to pursue their fullest human potential in safety and dignity?
We will never know until we try. And we must try. Not just the Palestinian people, but the Israeli state as well. Both must rise to a new paradigm. It will take courage to break from the past. But it will take even more courage to ignore the truth and continue burying generations in grief. Those who profit from the chaos, who weaponize despair and keep the people locked in perpetual trauma, must be stopped. The Palestinian people deserve more than slogans. They deserve schools, hospitals, homes, and peace.
President Trump once proposed rebuilding Gaza, recognizing that it had become a place of total destruction, unfit for life. He spoke of Egypt and Jordan as possible temporary options. But the solution is larger than relocation. It’s reconstruction. The United States, and the world, must help. America should open its doors to Palestinians who seek to rebuild their lives in peace. Let them find refuge, perhaps even in places like Virginia, where opportunity can begin anew.
Why Virginia? Virginia is more than symbolic. It is foundational. As the birthplace of American democracy and home to the authors of the Declaration of Independence, Virginia represents a promise: that liberty, dignity, and the pursuit of happiness are not reserved for a few, but offered to all. If there is any place where displaced Palestinians could begin again with hope and support, it is in a state that once gave birth to the idea of freedom itself. From Thomas Jefferson’s pen to the fields of civil rights struggle, Virginia stands as a testament to rebuilding, not just infrastructure, but lives.
Because rebuilding takes more than money. It takes moral clarity. It takes unity. It takes truth. This is not just about Israel. It’s about ending a cycle of despair that has gripped generations. It’s about saving Palestinian lives from being used, manipulated, and buried under a war they did not start. A war they cannot win. It’s about giving both Jewish and Arab children a chance to grow up side by side, not die apart.
One state is not the absence of peace. It is the beginning of Peace.
