Editing One-state solution (section)

===Establishment of Israel===
The [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]] resulted in Israel's establishment as well as the [[1948 Palestinian exodus|flight or expulsion]] of over 700,000 Palestinians from the territory that became Israel. During the following years, a large population of Jews living in Arab nations (close to 800,000) left or were expelled from their homes in what has become known as the [[Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim lands|Modern Jewish Exodus]] and subsequently resettled in the new State of Israel.

By 1948, in the wake of the Holocaust, Jewish support for partition and a Jewish state had become overwhelming. Nevertheless, some Jewish voices still argued for unification. The [[International Jewish Labor Bund]] was against the UN vote on the partition of Palestine and reaffirmed its support for a single binational state that would guarantee equal national rights for Jews and Arabs and would be under the control of superpowers and the UN. The 1948 New York Second world conference of the International Jewish Labor Bund condemned the proclamation of the Jewish state, because the decision exposed the Jews in Palestine to danger. The conference was in favour of a binational state built on the base of national equality and democratic federalism.<ref name="grabsky">{{cite web |url=http://www.workersliberty.org/node/4655|title=The Anti-Zionism of the Bund (1947–1972)|last=Grabsky|first=August|date=10 August 2005|publisher=Workers' Liberty |access-date=2009-11-10}}</ref>

A one-state, one-nation solution where Arabic-speaking Palestinians would adopt a Hebrew-speaking Israeli identity (although not necessarily the Jewish religion) was advocated within Israel by the [[Canaanites (movement)|Canaanite movement]] of the 1940s and 1950s, as well as more recently in the Engagement Movement led by [[Tsvi Misinai]].
