[Sy Borg]

After 1947, Israel agreed to a two-state solution, rejected by Arabs, resulting in a war that they lost, and the Arabs have been aiming to destroy Israel ever since.

It's always nonsense when people talk about groups of people by race, sex, ethnicity or such as if they were a singular entity with a single collective mind. It's a simple obvious pathetic fallacy (a.k.a. personification fallacy).

Example: "The Blacks (all of them together, every single one on Earth) are saying they like peanut butter sandwiches, but the Whites (all of them together, every single one on Earth) are aiming to destroy peanut butter because The Whites don't want anyone to be able to eat peanut butter sandwiches. The Whites want to eradicate peanut butter from existence."

Are you saying that the two-state solution was rejected by non-Arabs? Moon men, perhaps?

Yes, this is a multi-facetted issue, and cannot sensibly be discussed without considering many factual things, a great deal of non-factual things (propaganda), and many different perspectives connected to, but not limited to, (so-called) 'race', nationality, religion, politics, homes and homelands.
