RBRiddick, re "the real stumbling block to a two state solution was the return of palestinian Israelis to israel as part of the peace accord. An influx of millions of ethnic palestinians to a currently jewish majority country, instantly changing the demographic of Israel meaning the Jewish majority became a minority. this, of course has serious implications for the survival of israel as a jewish state and would never pass muster with the Israelis."
It was that "Right to return" that Arafat stupidly held out for in the peace deal brokered by Clinton and Barak.....and it was conceded as impossible back then by even the most ardent sympathiser to the cause of Palestinians.
Even now, no country could support the return of the hordes of palestinians in Jordan refugee camps, etc.
So do you mean that the 2 state solution is being currently seriously considered? That certainly contradicts Netanyahu's stance of recent times. It would be nice to believe a peaceful solution to the ongoing Gaza Saga may still be possible....
