He is quoting me. By "homeland" I was not suggesting a bantustan or
some other type of enclave. I was suggesting a Palestinian state
recognized as such by other states, first and foremost, by Israel.
Given the past, it is highly unlikely that both groups could share one
state so the best solution would be a state for the Palestinians and not
one whose existence, boundaries and operation were determined and
constrained by Israel. I would think that it would need access to the
sea, a considerable piece of territory, perhaps territory that the
Israeli do not wish to give up, an army, a currency, self-rule etc. In
a word, sovereignty. A sovereign Palestinian state is the only
foundation for resolving the conflict Hamas and Fatah.

Homeland, yes. But where? The Westbank/Gaza bantustan strategy is failing
spectacularly. It's time for the left to stop using euphemisms and call again
for democratic secular Palestine or if you prefer Palestine/Israel.
I agree, but who are you quoting?
