You are welcome to change the subject to fit your needs. It has nothing to do with my needs. My point is that the goal Israel pursues seems to be one that will over a longer period make a viable Palestinian state which includes Gaza and the West Bank impossible. So it is natural to ask what will happen to the 2.5 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank? You also point out else where that Palestinians are integrated into the Jordanian society. So where would you put 2.5 million Palestinians from the West Bank? You claim that your point is based on reality today but it is a pipe dream because you do not deal with the reality of today. Hardly, I am discussing the reality of today. There are no Israelis in Gaza, so the Pals of Gaza could become a viable independent nation, full of 1.4 million Palestinians, whenever they want. All they have to do is pursue that course. THAT's today's reality. What to do with the Pals of the WB or the ones in various refugee camps? I have no idea. That's the more challenging question that I'll leave to the diplomats and stakeholders to answer. But what to do with the Pals in Gaza today is an easy question - they should start living normal productive peaceful lives in the nation of Gazastan. So....what do you think? Is Gazastan, with its current 1.4 million Pals as citizens and no other Pals as citizens, a viable nation? I'd say so. And is it a good idea for the Pals of Gaza? I'd say so. And does it solve ~33% of the Pal refugee problem? I'd say so. Whattayou think?
