It seems a shame that Palestinians and Jews cannot peacefully exist in one, united country - but if the residents of the "occupied territories" were given full citizenship, the Jews would once again be a minority and their existence would once again be threatened.

I'd agree with the first part of that, and it would be consisternt with the apirations of one strand of historical Zionism, which did not see the establishment of a Jewish homeland where Jews woudl ahve a right to live would mean a country in which the existing inhabitants were reduced to a minority.

I don't think it can be assumed that a shared Jewish/Palestinian homeland would mean a less secure future for its Jewish population than one in which every other consideration is subordinated to a determination to maintain a permanent Jewish majority.

At present the Jewish population of Israel is about 5,499,000. The total number of Palestinians living in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza is about 5,200,000.
