From another post -
HAIFA // A group of Jews and Arabs are fighting in the Israeli courts to be recognised as “Israelis”, a nationality currently denied them, in a case that officials fear may threaten the country’s self-declared status as a Jewish state.
That does not come from a few "nutjob" settlers. It is a farce that Israel itself cannot recognise a nationality of "Israeli" - without the precept of being Jewish or Arab. National pride has been trumped by racial/religious/tribal affiliation.
As for "my" solution - the days of withdrawing to the 1967 borders are long since gone. I said this before. After 60 years of not finding a solution to the two state equation - you should reconcile that there will not be one. There is no solution to this - there is only inevitable evolution. The situation is evolving into a single state position. The more Israel encroaches, the faster this occurs.
Offering the palistinians 60 percent of the land that is theirs anyways.....yeah, that won't bring back the illusion of a two state solution. I am not even sure 100 percent would do it at this point. 100 percent would certainly not be accepted by the Israeli people - so that is a moot point isn't it?
