I suspect that if the Palestinians all left Israel today, the Israelis would start battling each other, doing irreparable harm to the nation.

I would love to figure out how I could help agitate around it. http://al-shabaka.org/briefs/refugees-citizenship/?post_id=10153761954957656_10153761954952656#_=_ A basic problem - obviously - of Palestinian politics around the two-state solution is this: if you live in Ramallah, Birzeit, or Hebron (3 places where I have lived) the benefits to you of a two-state solution are immediately obvious: get the Israeli army the hell away from here. If you are a Palestinian refugee outside of historical Palestine, the benefits to you of a two-state solution are not so obvious. So: let's act to make the benefits of a two-state solution for Palestinian refugees elsewhere more obvious. === Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org<http://www.justforeignpolicy.org> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (202) 448-2898 x1<tel:%28202%29%20448-2898%20x1>
