Israel and Palestine: The One-State Solution

[ingemann]

I have always supported a two state solution, but honestly I don't see how it can happen anymore, some posters here may have illusions about Egyptians and Jordanians being suckers enough to take Gaza and the West Bank Bantustan, of course that won't happen and people need to blind idiots to think it would ever happen.

As for independent Palestinia, well Gaza is a de facto independent city state and it will likely stay that way. The West Bank Bantustan on the other hand, I don't see the leaders of it agreeing to independence without it stopping to be a Bantustan and becoming a potential viable state, and that would demand that most of the settlement was either put under Palestinian control or being disestablish. Israel's problem are that West Bank Palestinians can simply sit down and wait, their position of a one state solution will only improve, every new settler make it harder for Israel to get rid of the West Bank and the demographic development favours the Palestinians. So they can simply wait. Israel also have the problem that the American debate about Israel is where the European one were in the late 90ties, it's slowly being eroded and Bibi being a obnoxious douche doesn't help.
