Besides the Pal leaders don't answer to the Pal people. They answer to their backers in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf and Iran. Their backers aren't paying them to become a country. Their backers are paying them to keep up the jihad until Israel is destroyed.

Sounds accurate. One affect of the united Pasreal solution is to take the Saudi-Iran-Gulf backers who want to destroy Israel out of the equation. When there is a multi-cultural Pasreal bordering multi-cultural Lebanon, who wants Iranian backed Hezbollah sitting in between them? Neither country does. So boom, Lebanon and Pasreal together smash Hezbo pushing them into Syria (or wherever), and you've got a secular, multicultural crescent with Pasreal-Lebanon-Kurdistan as the "good guys", and the fundamentalist Iran-Saudi group as the bad guys. It's a beautiful peace solution.

You're telling me 6 million Palestinians are going to prefer their current squalor to this possibility? I think they are going to eat it up hook line and sinker, and the racist fanatics in Iran and Saudi are going to be left out in the cold as far as their influence in the region goes. The entire world would embrace the idea of multicultural Lebanon and Pasreal, and ANY opposition to it by Iran and Saudi would be called exactly what it is - deplorable discrimination - and would (theoretically) be resisted by the world.
