(50,254 posts)to be continued military occupation of their homeland and continued settlement building, building that has become so extensive that there is no longer enough land to create a viable Palestinian state(especially if the "major settlement blocs" are kept in place).
And if you really cared about those Palestinians who want Israeli citizenship, you'd admit that that proves that, at least in theory, Palestinians could be trusted to share power with Israelis in say, a Belgian-type federation(at least ultimately)you'd give up the idea that Palestinians have to be kept in a subordinate position in the power equation. A federation would end the situation of either community living at the mercy of the other, while preserving the character of each national entity in a way that a unitary state or the two-state solution(or what's left of it after the settlements)really can't.
