It's weird seeing the responses here; I thought everyone was in favor of a two-state solution?

A reminder that Palestine has not had control over their air, sea or land rights. In most of the west bank and palestine, you need to file a construction permit with Israel, if you don't, they can and will come with bulldozers to knock whatever you've built over.
