http://fresnozionism.org/2008/05/the-two-state-fantasy/ A pro-Israel voice from California's Central Valley Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:12:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://fresnozionism.org/2008/05/the-two-state-fantasy/comment-page-1/#comment-6109 Shalom Freedman Mon, 19 May 2008 11:00:22 +0000 http://fresnozionism.org/archives/929#comment-6109 I agree completely with the analysis showing that the idea of a two- state solution now, at this time in history, given the views of all the players, is unrealistic and even absurd. I too have always tended to think that any Palestinian Arab state would only complicate the problem, undermine Israel's security. But there is somehow nonetheless , if Israel is to come to some kind of peace with its neighbors, the need for some kind of political authority which will adequatately represent the Arab inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael. I do not believe all these Arabs can be absorbed into a Jewish state and have the state remain Jewish. So it is in our interest to have some political entity which represents them. Jordan perhaps is the answer. Or perhaps something in which the Palestinian Arab is the ruling and predominant one. I say this with the idea in mind that the conflict going on forever in its present way is not good for us. And that our goal of achieving peace is the one most commensurate with our long - term interests.
