Re: [Pen-l] Gaza

[Carl Dassbach <dassbach@xxxxxxx>]

He is quoting me.  By "homeland" I was not suggesting a bantustan or 
some other type of enclave.  I was suggesting a Palestinian state 
recognized as such by other states, first and foremost, by Israel.  
Given the past, it is highly unlikely that both groups could share one 
state so the best solution would be a state for the Palestinians and not 
one whose existence, boundaries and operation were determined and 
constrained by Israel.  I would think that it would need access to the 
sea, a considerable piece of territory, perhaps territory that the 
Israeli do not wish to give up, an army, a currency, self-rule etc.  In 
a word, sovereignty.  A sovereign Palestinian state is the only 
foundation for resolving the conflict  Hamas and Fatah.
