I agree with McGrath that Zionism has not been frozen in stone from it's inception.

The only solution to the problem as I see it is a one-state country.
Today Palestinians are second-class citizens in a theocratic-based country. That there would be emnity in this between the two political forces is uncertain.

What some would claim as an obsession, others might see as an appeal to justice. The Hamas component makes it difficult for this stand-off to keep this from being a religious war. The "jihad" is an interpretation of the Koran applied by some militant Palestinians.

The history of Judaism under the Ottoman Empire is not one of second-class citizenship. This has to be reserved for the conquering Christians to later denegrate Judaism, placing their cathedrals over synagogues turned to rubble by invaders.

THere is a cognitive disonance on the part of a schizophrenic Israel
who reveres the noble notion of justice under Judaism and the subjugation of Palestinians in their land.

One state would be for the benefit of both sides.
