The State of Palestine

Never has so much been written or spoken about something that will never happen.
A Palestinian state has become the obsession of the world.
It does not matter that it has become an impossibility for so many reasons.
It does not matter that there are already two states of this kind, Jordan and Aza.
It does not matter that the Arabs have rejected this idea from two different prime ministers.
It does not matter that the Israeli public is against this idea.
Nothing matters.
It is still being discussed as if it it is about to happen.
It will not happen.
Not because the writer of these words wishes it should not happen but because it is an impossibility for the following reasons.
The conditions put forth by the Palestinians for a state are ones no Israeli leader can accept.
Many have tried including Ahud Olmert and Ehud Barack who were very eager to agree on such a state and were extremely generous in their concessions.
Each time the offer was turned down.
There is no room for the roughly 500,000 Jewish settlers who live in the areas that this Palestinian state is supposed to be in.
There is also no police force or military force capable of forcibly removing so many people from Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.
The concept is a non-starter and cannot happen.
With this backdrop status the residents of Judea and Samaria need to be established in the short and long term.
Arabs living in the C area where the overwhelming majority are Jewish will be offered full citizenship.
All others can be offered partial citizenship or full citizenship to Jordan.
If they wish to stay together in a autonomous framework that is also possible.
The bottom line is that is it impossible for a Palestinian state to be created.
Israel is headed to a new reality in the next four years.
Those who really want to help the Arab residents of Judea and Samaria will stop talking about a Palestinian state.
They will start worrying about the needs of those people and trying to better their lives.
It will take a while to rid the world of the concept of the Palestinian state.
Better late then never.
