Reply #160: First of all, thank you

Thank you for being the first person here to observe honestly that there is just one state. I am not sure why others have resisted so much making that obvious assessment. It's the only argument I've tried to make previously...

Anyway, yes one state and the reservation areas. (Or occupied territories, or whatever one wishes to call them)

Why isn't the number going to change? Because the process towards achieving a two-state solution is in utter gridlock now. Nobody is budging on any of the main obstacles. It's just not going anywhere. In my view, it's now too late. Palestinians want a return to 67 borders, and Israel keeps on expanding beyond those borders. Israel won't recognize Right of Return, and the current governing body in Gaza is not even recognizing Israel's right to exist. No agreement will be achieved at this point.

It is, and will be in the future, a single state. My proposal is to face that reality honestly and ask what to do about it.
