Spelling

[edit]

Just a note. Isratine has 28,000 google hits, compared to hundreds for Israteen and tens for Israstine (and none at all for Israsteen, FYI). --Dhartung | Talk 21:20, 20 February 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Qaddafi talks about an united Israel/Palestina

[edit]

At the Swedish TV-channel Kunskapskanalen they showed a documentry that is part of a series called "De skapade historia" and the episode has been named "Khadaffi" (Aired first time as I know of 2006-02-07 21:30CET and rerun 2006-02-08 18:00CET). Qaddafi talks about the White book with what he belives is the only way to get a lasting peace in todays Israel/Palestina and naming the new state as Isratine.

As far as I know the documentry was produced by DR in a project founded by the nordic state owned tv-channels (at least DR, YLE, SVT, NRK).


Myself I have had thoughts in a similar solution, as Israel is depending on the Palestinan labour force and Palestina is depending on the money from Israel, both wants Jerusalem as the capital of the state. Palestina will control important areas for the Jews and Israel will control important areas for the Muslims and Christians, so to give everyone free access to thise palces would be more logical to form one state which allows religious freedom and where state and religion is separated from eachother.

The link appears dead now, so I will remove it. It would be good if anyone could find a new reference.

The link says that not all historical details... are accurate-- can anyone clarify which ones are disputed? Lusanaherandraton 07:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To start with the second paragraph of http://www.algathafi.org/medialeast/medialeast-en.htm , the Philistines weren't "the original inhabitants of the land" -- the Philistines were part of the migration of the "Sea Peoples" from the Aegean area, and didn't enter Canaan until a little after 1200 B.C. Furthermore, the Philistines only occupied the southern coastal plain (i.e. the location of the Philistine city-states of Gaza, Ashdod, Ascalon and a few others). Thus פלשת / παλαιστινη / Palaestina meant "Philistia" (i.e. the southern coastal plain) and not the whole land of Canaan/Israel -- until a semi-arbitrary renaming by the Roman emperor Hadrian ca. 135 A.D.
So much for the first two sentences of the second paragraph. I'm sure I could go on at further great length to deconstruct the rest of this document, if either you or I had the patience... AnonMoos 09:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that "not all historical details... are accurate" is a "characterizing opinion of people's work". Please consider removing this statement or link to a discussion about a possible rebuttal. Thanks.

Actually Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Characterizing opinions of people's work seems to be mainly about applying inherently subjective adjectives like "fascinating", "magnificent", etc. AnonMoos 19:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is Wrong with some pictures?!

[edit]

I wish to state that i am against the removal of picture in this article!

Pictures like these add colour to the article and make it less dull and boring. and since it doesn't take space in wikipedia to have these images in the article, than i am bringing them back.
anyone who has a different opinion is welcome to express it. --Oren neu dag (talk) 00:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed them again. Please do not re-add them unless and until you can provide a reliable source stating the the person who made the proposal stated in this article has also proposed the flag and typography in these images. I strongly suspect that you cannot do so. We don't have images just to add color to the article; we have images that have something to do with the article, and these do not appear to do so. 6SJ7 (talk) 02:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have to say, Oren, that I added my image as a lighthearted little bit of fun, without any particular claimed encyclopedic value, but almost sure to raise a smile among those who know both the Hebrew and Arabic alphabets -- while your attempt to add a speculative flag was a little bit more heavy-handed...

We need to work on that. If you know any sources, post them here so we can judge whether they are reliables? --Loremaster (talk) 20:21, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2009 Op-Ed

[edit]

With all due respect to the folks that have taken the article thus far, I added mention of the new NYT op-ed into the article. I'm not well-versed with the references, so I fear mine might be clunky; I welcome all attempts to mend any mistakes therein. Also, removed the statement of lack of support among the two parties, as no sourcing has appeared in the 10 months since the statement was entered.JGray (talk) 21:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've tweaked your edits but they were good. Thank you for contributing to the article! --Loremaster (talk) 00:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

[edit]

It was proposed that Saif al-Islam Qaddafi's Isratin proposal be merged into Isratine. Please vote Support or Oppose.
Relisted.Greyshark09 (talk) 07:29, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since both this article and One-state solution refer to a proposed "unitary, federal or confederate Israeli-Palestinian state" is there any reason not to merge them, the resulting article being entitled Bi-national state (Israeli–Palestinian peace process)?

Labour Party Stance

[edit]

The highlighted text is incorrect: "On the Israeli side, Likud and Labour both opposed withdrawal to the pre-1967 borders or setting up a Palestinian state, and both supported building more Jewish settlements in the territories and maintaining exclusive Israeli control over Jerusalem. However, Labour argued for building strategic settlements only in areas Israel intended to keep, such as the Jordan Valley and the surroundings of East Jerusalem, while handing the rest back to Jordan, claiming that the alternative would result in a bi-national state and so "the end of the Zionist endeavour"."

As far as I know the official stance of the Israeli Labour party is supportive of a two-state solution with no involvement of the state of Jordan. The party's website is down for some reason, I'll provide sources when it's online again. EitanTs (talk) 19:14, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As it stands, the entire first paragraph of the "Popular Support" section is pure conjecture. Practically every statement is lacking a citation, and it is not written in an encyclopedic style or tone. For this reason I propose that entire paragraph be deleted.

Confusion regarding subject mattter

[edit]

Hi, Isratin falls under the broader umbrella of one-state solutions, but refers specifically to the state proposed by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in 2000. However, the lead section fails to mention the specific proposal which gave rise to the name, instead referring to it as a "proposed unitary, federal or confederate state" (precisely the range of ideas encompassed on One-state solution). Unless it's refocused on the specific 2000 proposal which lends the article its name, this will remain a less robust and impartial version of the main one-state solution article.
