The Palestinian state and its impact on the State of Israel

It used to be that Israel was the only democracy in the Middle East. The Palestinians are changing that for the better. Many Zionists are pro-Palestinian and support a two state solution, this means they explicitly support the creation of a Palestinian state. If Israel wants to have a secure border with a new Palestinian neighbour, and live not only in peace but in close cooperation and mutual support with this new state, the Israel government and people need to support the Palestinians. The good news is that they do, as seen by autonomy granted to the Palestinain Authority, the withdrawl of troops and more recently the unilateral withdrawl from Gaza. They also support them through cooperative projects as well as projects run by Israel to improve things for Palestinians. This section of the site is intended to high light stories and issues related to the state of the Palestinian people that may be of interest to those supporting them and wanting real reform. To much propoganda about the Palestinians is available and very little real information. Too often when Palestinians are mentioned the conversation turns to anti-Israel rhetoric and Israel bashing. We hope you find the articles here enlightening.
