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 馃檪 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.
