The 1SS is just a bunch of nonsense and its "inevitability" (or desirability for that matter) is based on even more unrealistic predictions and assumptions than either the right or the Left have managed to produce.

I'm not worried.  It'll come to be.  There's no other choice. 

Your check's in the mail, Ken.

A One-State Solution for Israel and Palestine

In my opinion, it is a bit odd talking about a one state solution  without specifying a solution for what. If it is the solution for ending the continued existence of the Jewish State of Israel, then instituting a one state solution will most likely be successful. But there is nothing about a one state solution that would lead to a conclusion that it is a solution for the conflict. Indeed, nearly everywhere that one-state solutions have been in place, they almost invariably end in civil war and a great deal of bloodshed. This is the case with Iraq, Sudan, Yugoslavia, Georgia, Chechnya and other examples. So, the one-staters have to do more than just assert that their proposal will end the conflict as there is nothing in the proposal that automatically leads to that result. They will have to be very clear about this if they expect the average Israeli not to believe that a one-state solution is nothing more than the continuation of the war to destroy the State of Israel by other means.

Let us see how far we go with it.

Although it should not need repeating, here is yet another explanation as to why the world needs a Jewish state and why Jews need the Jewish State and why no one is going to convince Israeli Jews to simply give away the Jewish State.

A Dose of Nuance: The simple but often overlooked truth is that what has made this difference for Jews world over is the State of Israel.

. . .

Now fast-forward 66 years, to 2012.

Where do we find ourselves today? Jewish life in Europe, while facing renewed anti-Semitism in some places, is coming back to life. Berlin is one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in the world. There are Jewish cultural festivals in Poland (though staged largely by non-Jews, since there are few Jews left). In Budapest and Prague, Jewish museums, kosher restaurants and synagogues abound. Soviet Jews are largely out, and those who remain have synagogues, schools, camps and community centers. And across the ocean, the success and vibrancy of American Jewish life is legendary.

There was no way to expect any of this in 1946, no reason to even imagine it.

How did it happen? The simple but often overlooked truth is that what has made this difference for Jews world over is the State of Israel.
. . .
Unlike the Tibetans (or Chechnyans or Basques, to name just a few), Jews were no longer tiptoeing around the world, waiting to see what the world had in store for them.

The re-creation of the Jewish state has changed not only how the world sees the Jews, but how the Jews see themselves.

The days of “We looked like grasshoppers to ourselves, and so we appeared to them” (Num. 13:33) are gone, and the reason is the State of Israel.
. . .
But let us remember this, nevertheless: it is far too easy to lose sight of what we have accomplished. Sixty-six years ago, no sane, level-headed person could have imagined that we would have what we have. A language brought back to life, and bookstores filled with hundreds of linear feet of books in a language that just a century ago almost no one spoke. More people studying Torah now than there were in Europe at its height. An economic engine that is the envy of many supposedly more established countries. A democracy fashioned by immigrants, most of whom had never lived in a functioning democracy. Cutting-edge health care. An army that keeps us so safe, we go days on end without even thinking about our enemies.

That’s worth remembering in the midst of the attacks on us, from the international community as well as from Jews.

There’s much to repair, and too often, we fail to meet the standards we’ve set for ourselves. All true, and they demand our continued attention, but at the same time, we dare not lose sight of what we’ve built. To borrow the phrase from Virginia Slims, “we’ve come a long way, baby.”

The Jews have a future because the Jews have a state.

It is those who wish to end the future for Jews  and those to foolish to know better who support the so called One State Solution, no one else.
