Without a perceptible attention given by the Palestinian Authority or the
world community, Israel is effectively annexing more and more Palestinian

scientific studies document the political and not science based Israeli
designations). See also this paper on politics, environment, and power:

Important & just published: Report of the UN Independent commission of
inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
and Israel: The Commission finds that the human rights to freedom of
association, expression and opinion, and the right to peaceful assembly,
are being violated by the Government of Israel, the Government of the State
of Palestine and the de facto authorities in Gaza…. The Commission finds
that the Israeli authorities’ silencing of civil society voices that
challenge government policies and narrative is intrinsically linked to the
goal of ensuring and enshrining the permanent occupation at the expense of
the rights of the Palestinian people.

I saw Israel’s ‘final solution to the Palestinian problem’ in Lebanon 41
years ago, and I see it again today
The one state solution is inevitable. I wrote a whole book about this
published 20 years ago (see http://qumsiyeh.org/sharingthelandofcanaan/). I
am glad more and more people so its inevitability
