On the 70th commemoration of the Nakba, Al Jazeera spoke to young Palestinians, asking them what they think the solution is to what has been dubbed the world's most intractable conflict.

The solution to this conflict is to get rid of colonialism and establish one state. We want a state for all its citizens. A state that can guarantee the return of the refugees. A state that can preserve our culture, history and Canaanite civilisation, that respects the suffering we underwent as a people from Ottoman, to British, to Israeli colonialism.

I think there can be some kind of coexistence between the two sides based on laws and rights. There should be red lines that can't be crossed. I think this would benefit both Palestinians and Israelis, so there can be some kind of stability in the region, individuals can have their rights and live their lives far from difficulties, and we can overcome the obstacles of violence and lack of stability and the bad economic situation.

Ezz Odeh, 19, from Nazareth
I personally believe we can all live together in one state. The refugees must return to their homes, as per all human rights conventions. We must learn from the experiences of other countries, such as the South African experience. We must also have a measure of human rights and raise popular pressure to really create this one state.

I'm not reading anything about violent means to end the Jewish state. Protest, yes. Intifada, no. These people have a very good understanding of the situation, much better than a certain orange tinged person I can't mention.
