I think the author makes some interesting points but neither side is likely to accept that solution. Palestinians want an independent state or as much of one as they can get. Israeli's would be concerned that making Palestinians citizens and giving them the vote would mean that they eventually control the government and Israel ceases to exist, becoming "Palestine". I think the only real chance the Palestinians have of ever getting a real independent state would be accepting an agreement where they have something like the "reservations" that Ghazi talks about, and then eventually if violence and hatred dies down and trust is built they could have an independent state. I'm really not optimistic about any proposed solution. Some things might be done to make things not as bad as they are now, but I don't expect to have a real final resolution of the problem within my lifetime. But then I have been overly pessimistic about change before. I remember back in the 80s thinking that the Soviet empire would eventually fall but I didn't expect it to happen as quickly or with as little violence as it did. Tim
