R.I.P. One-State Solution; Long Live 3-State Solution?
September 12, 2012 11:59 by Pesach Benson
I come to bury the one-state solution, not praise it.
Now that Hamas is laying the groundwork to declare Gaza’s independence from Palestine, it’s easier to be dismissive of arguments for the one-state solution, like this op-ed in The Independent.
Fatah fecklessness, a non-existent peace process, Muslim Brotherhood power in Egypt, and Hamas’ sheer willpower means the three-state solution moots the one-staters. Period.
A bi-national state was an absolute non-starter for the Israeli mainstream. 6 Arguments Against the One-State Solution explains why.
I don’t know if Israel’s better off with an endgame of two or three states.
But the one-state solution is dead. May it rest in peace.

I have always supported a three state solution. A two state solution would simply create an East / West Pakistan situation. i.e. an artificially created state with another state splitting it in two. It is completely non-viable and its eventual split is inevitable, especially as the bulk of the population of Gaza are Egyptian by ancestry, whereas those in the West Bank are of the same stock as the people of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon as was recognised by Yasser Arafat.
Its people will no longer be refugees. It is in an ideal location and with the right attitudes and investment could become another Hong Kong or Singapore. The only remaining problem is that it will have a terrorist government.

great deal more often.
