I beg to disagree .....

'The pointless proposition for a binational Israel'

'Palestinians released thousands of black balloons over the West Bank yesterday -- one for each of the 21,915 days since Israel's creation. After 60 years of occupation and bloodshed, many are beginning to lose hope in the dream of an independent Palestinian state existing side by side with Israel in the Holy Land. Instead, they are turning to a different model altogether: a single, binational state, shared by Arab and Jew.'
from todays Canadian press

elsewhere.....

Meron Benvenisti, the former deputy mayor of Jerusalem, has pronounced the two-state approach "inapplicable" to the problem of Israel and Palestine and is calling for a single binational state based on Arab-Jewish equality.

and...
'President Bush is in Jerusalem, where he addressed parliament Thursday at ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence. He is trying to boost peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. But a majority on both sides now views the peace process with enormous skepticism.'

Apartheid is not a solution!
