- Create a secular democratic state in the Land of Israel including West Bank and Gaza.
- Allow only those who are persecuted and those whose skills are needed to migrate whether they are Jews or not.
- Give everyone the same rights.
- Open holy sites for all.
What's the problem with this solution?
Answer:
The Jews and Arabs do not want such a solution.
In Arab eyes being Arab and being secular and democratic is a contradiction in terms. There are no Arab secular democratic states. They do not want any.
The Arab belongs to the Islamic People. It defines to himself what he is.
The Jews could live in a secular democratic state in so far that a majority of the populace could conceivably be misled to agree to it.
The Jews however are in the Land MOST OF ALL because the Bible and the Jewish Religion has given them the right to be there.
This right entails obligations. Denying the obligations undermines the right for Jews to exist in Israel and ultimately anywhere else.
Ask the Germans.
