Many of the posts here seem to be based on the premise that the Two State solution is still possible. But is it? There's the small matter of some 5-600,000 colonists residing on stolen land on the West bank. They say they are not going anywhere. It would take an internal civil war in Israel to unseat them, a prospect no Israeli Govt would dare contemplate. As long as they remain where they are, a Two State solution seems impossible.
The other day, ex- Israeli PM Olmert warned that unless a viable Palestinian State was formed, Israel, faced with an Arab majority, would become an apartheid State. Olmert asserts such a State would not be tenable, and eventually a bi-national State would result. It seems no matter which way the cake is cut, the Zionist fantasy of an exclusively Jewish State will be a casualty of continued occupation. Responsibility for this state of affairs, FWIW, can be attributed almost entirely to the greed and intransigence of the Israeli Right.
This article examines the growing movement towards accepting a bi-National State:
