Absolutely! Its the ONLY solution!
But Hamas don't want a two-state solution do they?
Well, you could get into a long discussion regarding this, but ultimately Hamas are not occupying Israel. Hamas' action I do not necessarily agree with, but surely some sort of reaction to what's occurring is inevitable? Furthermore, the number of Israelis that have died in this conflict is trivial compared to the number of Palestinians. Yet the Western media pretty much always implies, certainly the broadcast media is guilty of this, that Israel is being besieged by Hamas, and is defending itself. This is literally the total opposite to what is actually occurring. Palestine isn't even recognised as being a state by most Zionists. You get articles like this when it's even suggested:

The 1947 plan involved asking many of the Palestinian people to give up their homes and land. It was in no way reasonable. Yet even suggesting that Palestine should be recognised as a state is apparently "racist". Even if it was justified, the slaughter that took place on Nakba Day, in 1948, certainly was not. But we never hear about this. We never see Israel's conduct being held to account. Chomsky, the Jewish writer, recently described it thus:
news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20121118003140399
Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a population that has no air force, no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armor, no command in control, no army… and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder.
When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing. You can't defend yourself when you're militarily occupying someone else's land. That's not defense. Call it what you like, it's not defense.
I respect people's concerns about repression in Islamic countries, but this is simply a nuclear power slaughtering pretty much unarmed civilians. Religion plays little or no part in what is going on.
