From 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 and back now to 1 [State solution]

We have gone from considering as a solution to the conflict[s] - one state, two states, three states, and even four states. And now we are back down to one state.

MK Zevulun Calfa (habayit Hayehudi) is working on proposing a law promoting a One State Solution.

Calfa's One State solution law would give complete equal rights to everybody living within the borders of Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Calfa's law would give equal voting rights for Knesset, equal investment in infrastructure, equal investment in developing towns and villages.. The complaint of Israel being an apartheid state or racist, would be dropped, because all residents would become equal citizens with equal rights.

Calfa is not worried about the demographic issue that is regularly raised, especially in relation to the idea of making all the Palestinians into Israeli citizens. Calfa says that the Jews will remain a majority in the State of Israel.
source: Israel Hayom

Unfortunately Calfa does not explain how that is so and how the demographics claim is either wrong or how it will be dealt with. I don't know if his say so is enough to go on. It sound smore like the classic Israeli "yehiye bseder" - it will be ok. Sometimes that works out, and sometimes it doesn't.

    We must be grateful to Hashem for having an extra chance to sort the mess out.
    I hope, I pray that this time out, personal rivalry willbe removed, and people's egosim, I want a truce between Aliza Bloch and Eli Cohen, and that they should work together. Also no insulting like the previous one. Both sides are people, who are G-d fearing, and as such, the whole country is looking at Beit Shemesh and expecting there to be forgeries again. How wonderful it would be to show them that everyone can be civil and fair with each other. And Eli Cohen is not the chiloni candidate because he does not wear a kipa. I heard that the parties have no money for a campaign. Great, we don;'t need a campaign, we all know what they stand for, so let us just go an vote again as we did in October, and let it be a fair, correct, and kosher vote.

  2. I think I like this!
    The demographics show beyond a doubt that this is a good idea, but no "right of return", except to Gaza which can become a microstate on its own.. Why are believing Jews apprehensive of this? The land belongs to us.
    This is a new book that just came out, and interesting promo video embedded about how the western countries are shrinking and even more so, the Islamic countries. I'll try to get you more 'good' demographic links.

  3. Granting full citizenship and just happening to keep in place travel restrictions for security purposes isn't gonna make anyone happy. These new one-staters are still living in an alternate universe.
