Transferred from another thread and worthy of its own. 

Because, for all intents and purposes, the one state already exists.   Formalizing it is a hell of a lot easier than dividing up what Israel has already taken.


Do Israel and "Palestine" constitute a cohesive unit desiring self-determination?  Clearly not. 

So what is this "one state" that already exists? 

Why is "easier" the best solution?  And easier for whom?

And if you believe that Israel is a thief who has "taken", what does that say about your desire for pluralism?
