Nothing I wrote implies the Palestinians should strive for a one state solution. If anything, it implies they should strive for a two state solution.

Insofar as the Palestinians and Israelis have more in common with each other than they do with their neghbours, they should strive for a two state solution with free trade.

The correct model to follow with regard to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is that of civil war. This is unconventional but given the commonalities the two peoples have, it fits better than other models.

They need to separate, but not very far.

The complicating factor is that the Palestinians don't have a decent government and they're not going to get either the super power, or the ex-super power, to support them until they do. Even the Egyptians and Turks keep them at arm's length. Jordan shuns them and the rest of the ME nations only support their criminal class.

They are in no position to strive for a one state solution since they can't manage their own affairs competently.

The only one state solution that might work very badly is one in which the Israelis run everything....

What on earth are you thinking of?!!
