I perceive that Palestine would be an unequal partner in any type of federation with Israel. Little Tich Jan 2016 #12

The Palestinians don't want 2 states. They've turned down every single offer.... shira Jan 2016 #13

None of those offers removed the illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Little Tich Jan 2016 #14
