The reason the Arabs would support such a solution is because they expect that they can out vote the Jews. If not now, then in a few years as demographics shifts in their favor.

I didnt actuallly ask why Arabs (or in this case, Palestinians) might want the deal but rather why the leadership of the Palestinians would ever accept it. They havent shown much inclination towards giving up power (understatement).

Also....you seem to be advocating group suicide on the part of the Israeli's. If they were forced to go with your solution, they might as well all leave. As Nadine has pointed out, the region has not been kind to Jews in majority Arab countries.

BTW....I enjoy reading your uncompromising take on human nature. However, I have trouble seeing your argument in this case.
