Fear and suspicion aside, I think it’s safe to say:
– the status quo is untenable
– two states are unimplementable
– an apartheid state is unlikely
Now some have mistakenly claimed I’m an idealist 🙂 but if I’m not mistaken, that leaves us with one state, equal citizenship.
Of course we’ll have to:
– ban fascist parties like Hamas, unequivocally and aggressively
– try and punish their remaining leaders and members who have participated in any crimes and plots
– replace UNRWA, their curricula, their teachers their textbooks
– and take other drastic but pragmatic steps to ensure social safety and security.
But when the smoke clears and the dust settles…. It’s one state, equal citizenship.
