First, on the treachery watch, an October 7 Israeli survivor said this: I used to believe in peace, but I don’t anymore. I used to trust Arabs, but I don’t anymore. A guy named Khaleel lived in our village for 30 years. We called him our brother. He slept in our homes. He ended up drawing a map of our homes in the village and gave it to Hamas to slaughter us. How can I trust after this?
Re #2, there’s nothing similar to the Golden Rule in the 5 pillars of Islam. They are all actions, nothing internal about having or showing love. I also read recently that very early on, Muhammad’s followers didn’t have enough food, and his solution was to tell them to go steal from caravans. That’s not self sustaining universal moral principles, as obviously not everyone can just go steal from someone else whenever they get hungry. The contrast between these things and Jesus’s teachings is huge.
A "two state" solution? There IS a "two state" solution, and it doesn't work. The 1919 British "mandate" from the League of Nations to administer "Palestine" ended in 1947, when the UN split "Palestine" into a Jewish section named "Israel", and a Muslim section named "Jordan". Muslim "Palestinians" are Jordanians, and Jordan needs to take them in.
