A "One-State" Solution? No | National Catholic Reporter

A "One-State" Solution? No | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Berkowitz does not really believe in a two state solution - where both states are absolutely sovereign - or its logical extension that the Palestinian portion include parts of Northern Israel that are ethnically Arab.  I am sure his Palestinian state would still be under the domination of the IDF.   I would support a strong unified Arab state (of both the west and north)  - or one where the Arab portion was part of a larger Arab superkingdom under Hashemite rule in a constitutional monarchy.  Still, that is a third choice. The perferable choice is a single state organized on secular lines rather than religious ones - where the Zionists follow what Torah says about treating the Alien with respect rather than as chattel.  I doubt such would even be practiced in the Jewish side of a two state solution - yet the Holy of Holies will not be returned to Jerusalem until just that kind of humanity is practiced in Zion.
