Many people think the best solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a two-state solution. After reviewing the available resources, scholars determine whether they agree with that approach. They analyze graphs and charts about population statistics and estimated deaths resulting from the conflict using a provided debate topics website. Additionally, they review historical photographs, key documents, and maps to gain a better understanding of the issue.
