Many have called for a "two state solution" but Mark Levin has said many times, that Palestine has refused two states repeatedly,, especially because they would deny Israel a state - true?
Yes, Mark Levin's claim is historically accurate. Palestinian leadership (Arab/Palestinian representatives) has repeatedly rejected concrete opportunities for a two-state solution — or equivalent partition plans — over decades. The core issue is often not just borders or details, but a refusal to accept Israel's existence as a Jewish state in any form.
Major Historical Rejections
1937 Peel Commission: British proposal for partition into Jewish and Arab states. Palestinian Arab leadership (led by the Mufti of Jerusalem) rejected it.
1947 UN Partition Plan (Resolution 181): Proposed two states — one Jewish, one Arab — with Jerusalem internationalized. Jews accepted (despite getting less optimal land). Arab states and Palestinian leadership rejected it outright and launched war in 1948 after Israel declared independence.
2000 Camp David Summit: Israeli PM Ehud Barak (with Clinton) offered ~91-95% of West Bank, Gaza, parts of East Jerusalem as capital, and limited refugee returns. Yasser Arafat rejected it without a counteroffer. This led to the Second Intifada.
2008 Olmert-Abbas Talks: Israeli PM Ehud Olmert offered a similar or even more generous package (~93-97% of West Bank with swaps). Mahmoud Abbas rejected it.
Other moments (like post-Oslo talks, Taba 2001) also failed, often over "right of return" (which would demographically end Israel as a Jewish state), Jerusalem, and security.
Levin's Broader Point
Levin argues the two-state push ignores this pattern: Palestinian leadership (and much of the population) has prioritized eliminating the Jewish state over building their own. This aligns with his view of Islamist rejection of Jewish self-determination (tying back to anti-Zionism = antisemitism). Israel has made painful concessions (Sinai to Egypt, Gaza withdrawal, multiple offers) and still faces existential threats.
Congratulations to @IMP85. Your Huli Huli recipe was chosen for tonight’s Sunday Suppers. After a fierce showdown between Imp amd @Arius-Trychus, the sugar won this round. I got the entries down to two and Mark chose the winner. Oh, and it was delicious. Sorry @Arius-Trychus, sweet always talks louder for Mark.
@Imp85, please keep an eye out for an email from a Gutter Team Member.
