Re: [Marxism] One State the Alternative to Two-State Solution - Arab League Secretary General Musa

>78% of Israelis willing to accept Two State Solution

Of course, that entirely depends on the nature of that "two-state solution". 
Quite likely 78% of Israelis would accept a "two-state" solution where the map 
is frozen as it exists today, the right to return (of the *real* "returnees, 
i.e., the Palestinians) if forbidden, and the "state" of Palestine has no 
control over its air space or land or sea borders.

Somehow I doubt that's what those 74% of Palestinians have in mind when *they* 
think about a "two-state" solution.

The reality, as I've written before, is that there is no "two-state" solution 
even being proposed. A "1 1/2 state" solution maybe, but definitely not a "two 
state" solution. Because what the Israelis and the U.S. have in mind for 
Palestine has very little in common with a "state." More like a "municipality."
