How to Prevent Peace

Al-Ahram Weekly | Region | Quick paint job: ".......... it is widely expected that Israel will declare its 'willingness' to freeze settlement construction in return for far-reaching concessions from the Arab camp: first, a recognition by the Palestinians of Israel as an exclusively Jewish state in which non-Jews have to accept racial inferiority or leave, and, second, a deep multi-faceted normalisation between Israel and the entire Arab world.

......

(this) is also an indication that Israel is not really interested in reaching an honest and dignified peace with the Palestinians but is only trying to throw the proverbial ball into the Arab or at least the American court.

How can there be peace if the Arab world will not accept two states where one is "jewish?" What is Israel supposed to do? accept a peace where Jews have no control over their own state? Maybe the answer is to require Israel, Jordan AND Palestine to be "open" societies and accept immigration from anyone who wnats to live there! We could have a war of the mortgages?
