If the problem is that Palestinians should have a state with a Palestinian Moslem Arab dominant majority and control, and that Jews should NOT have these rights, then the logical answer is to force Israel to accept large numbers of Palestinians into Israel. BUT if one accepts the premise that both Jews and Palestinians are entitled to self-determination, then the solution is that each have a state, side by side, in part of their historic homeland, and that each government controls its own immigration. Sadly,Moslem Arabs states have historically opposed (often violently) Kurdish, Armenian, Copt, Druze or Jewish attempts to exercise rights of national self determination. Palestinians, Jews or other site participants who don't think Jews (or other minorities) the same rights to which they believe Egyptians, Quebecois, Palestinians etc. are entitled, should declare it openly and be willing to defend their position.
