You're right. It is not compatible with Zionism or Palestinian nationalism. Any solution implies relinquishing these core organizing principles. It's still possible that one solution is less unlikely than another, even if both appear to be far beyond the realm of possibility in the near future.

I don't buy your history of Indians in the U.S.A., but that's an argument for a different post.

I share your assessment. The Israeli right, with its settlements, removed the basis of the TSS. What remains is the abyss or a largely secular state. The settlers could, of course, either return or become pro-Fateh. Take your pick on what is more likely and better.

Like you say, it already is a single state, but one in which 4 million Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens have zero representation. This may be a good time to raise your point, at least with regards to demographics, with Arab/Jewish ratio in Israel/Palestine almost evenly split. The high emotion politics is another matter.
