Think you know who the settlers are? Think again

8. The preservation of the Jewish homeland, and peace and security for Israeli citizens

If you don't like the federation option(and a growing number of Israelis actually find it an interesting possibility, actually)then you need to be pushing Bibi and Co. to, at a bare minimum, impose a permanent moratorium on settlement expansion and as much lessening as possible of the repression imposed on Palestinians by the Occupation.

The two-state option can't survive if Israel keeps trying to make a Palestinian state as small and helpless as possible, and if Israel's leaders insist that a two-state solution be predicated on the insulting and humiliating notion that Israel can be trusted but that no Palestinian state can ever be. Palestinians have just as much reason to distrust Israeli intentions as Israelis have to distrust Palestinian intentions. Peace can't be built on one side insisting on having total power over the other side.
