The single-state solution: Israel, like other democracies, would become one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. What's wrong with that?
Palestinians Seek to Redefine National Struggle - NYTimes.com:"'My kids are asking: 'if my access and movement, my freedoms as an individual are going to remain hostage to some kind of political process that refuses to end, I'd rather drop the political process for statehood and focus on my rights today'.
'That is exactly what this younger generation is doing and it is fully in tune with the Arab Spring.'
The approach naturally edges the Palestinians closer towards an idea rejected by Israel but which appears to be gaining more support among Palestinians: that they seek full civil rights from Israel as part of the same political entity.
That implies abandoning the two-state approach in favour of one that would lead to a very different outcome: a single, binational state stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan valley.
Supporters of the idea say it could take decades to bring about, if at all. To Israel, the 'one-state solution' is a non-starter. Giving citizenship to millions of Palestinians would undermine the Jewish character of Israel and end the Zionist dream."
