3. Since half the people

under Israeli control are not Jews and aren't going anywhere, the idea of a "Jewish state" is problematic. Conditions there already show how such a system functions. Since the two-state solution is no longer viable, what do you suggest? It seems to me there are only two possible outcomes: Either half the population grinds its boot into the face of the other half forever, or Israel becomes a "democratic" state for everyone under its authority.

As for the right of return, if Jews can immigrate from anywhere in the world and become citizens by virtue of their religious ethnicity, why shouldn't those forcibly driven from their homes to make the Israeli state a reality also be allowed to return and to be compensated?
