Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
I support the Two-State solution. Israel and Palestine. I agree with T. L. Friedman, who some years ago wrote, in an article I've lost (and would like to find again: if someone has it, please tell me), that this solution would mean One State Each, not One and a Half. Not Israel plus the Colonies, nor Palestine plus the mass of the Palestinian refugees returning to Israel instead of to the new Palestinian state. Israel would have to shrink a bit, while Palestine would have to accept the exchange land-for-peace. Another possible solution, in my opinion, is that the Arab state be formed by the new Palestinian part (West Bank and Gaza) unified in a single state with Jordan.

Roberto, I appreciate this non-confrontational response from you.

I still need to know, if I am to understand that you are not promoting supremacism, whether or not you feel that the part that remains Israel in the two state solution that you envision, would remain a "Jewish state", and maintain a Jewish majority there.
