The Israeli-Palestinian conflict produces separate narratives from both sides of the conflict. To understand the issue better, the Charlatan has compiled some terms you might commonly hear.
Zionism: “a policy for establishing and developing a national homeland for Jews in Palestine.”
Israeli Apartheid: the belief that Israeli is an “apartheid state,” similar to the former apartheid state in South Africa. Apartheid is defined as “a social policy of racial segregation involving political, economic and legal discrimination against people who are not whites.”
One-state solution: combining the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Israel to create one unified state, where Israelis and Palestinians would co-exist.
Two-state solution: a resolution currently under discussion that would likely give Palestinians full sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza, and possibly split control of Jerusalem or leave the city in international hands.
