   That you haven't dealt with how you would practically dissolve the state   
   of Israel, one of the most heavily populated countries in the world, and   
   exactly _who_ would have the 'right of return.' That is, would it be   
   those Palestinians who lived there at the time and all their children,   
   or _anyone_ who is Palestinian. As I wrote, the Palestinians, like the   
   Jews, have a diaspora which existed before 1948.

   I've dealt already with the occupied territories ("steal more land") but   
   the only viable and practical solution is a two state one, which is why   
   it's what the UN supports. The alternative you propose is only seriously   
   proposed by people who don't support the right of the state of Israel to   
   exist, and they are increasingly in the minority, even among many muslim   
   and arab intellectuals. That is obviously your position- fine- but it's   
   not a very logical one- and it's certainly not pragmatic, and by the   
   looks of it, not very well thought through. Kick all the Turks/Greeks   
   (take your pick, it's so easy after all) out of Cyprus while you're at   
   it, OK?
