30. Everything after yr subject line is incorrect...

While Israel's not a theocracy, civil matters like marriage are overseen by religious courts. It was a compromise Ben Gurion made with the Haredi to get them on board and supporting the new state.

Yr last line tries to portray the Palestinians as intransigent and unreasonable, which isn't correct. If the Palestinians were to offer Israel a solution to the conflict that involved Israel only retaining 1/8 of what it was, that would no more be an offer than the ones you've listed. And considering Israel flat-out refused to talk to or acknowledge the Palestinians until the late 90's, people should be very careful when trying to paint just one side as intransigent and unreasonable, especially when the OP is about a Right Wing member of a government stating their total opposition to a two-state solution...
