CAN ISRAEL CONTEND WITH TWO PALESTINES?

CAN PALESTINE AS WELL?
The past 60 years have shown that Israel does not want to ’share it’s space’ with Palestine. Forty of those years have shown that occupation is the only way they would even consider the question.
Recent events in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank have raised a new possibility, the creation of two Palestines. Look at a globe where Palestine does not even exist and try to imagine it appearing twice… this could truly become a nightmare for Israel.
THIS report in today’s New York Times raises some interesting questions about the prospect of this ‘Two State Solution’ for Palestine.
As one who personally supports the Two State Solution between Israel and Palestine, I find this quite distressing. A nation founded miles apart from itself will see a continuation of the separation of families, hardships in obtaining employment and medical attention. Surely the parties involved can come up with a solution that will benefit the people of Palestine, not the lawmakers on either side of the fence.
For the sake of the people, PALESTINE MUST BE UNITED!
PALESTINIANS MUST LIVE AS ONE~~ NOT TWO!!

The idea of a divided Palestine is insanity. With Israel seperating them it would nothing more than aparthatied.
