The only plan of all those mentioned that has any hope of long-term peace is Halper’s One Democratic State Campaign. Sadly, all the rest result in various kinds of inequality, ongoing oppression and probable war.

If you ask me, this is the solution that I want the most.

If you ask everybody else, this is the worst solution.

The problem with this solution is that it requires both sides to shed their narrativs COMPLETELY.

No jewish state (no jewish majority), no return of refugees etc.

It is a very idealistic solution. But not possible, I think.

Or what makes you think it is?

Every other plan mentioned in the article is a continuation of the status quo in varying forms.

That's exactly right. It takes a very long time to let go of the stories that we tell ourselves.

I don't know what is possible.
