Frankly PatCat, for one who pretends to be concerned about the plight of those poor, poor put-upon "Palestinians," you sure come up lame when faced with the reality of their true agenda. The exclusion of
56% of current residents of what may someday constitute a "Palestinian" state from citizenship (not to mention the 1.6 million "Palestinians" inside Israel) is their way of creating a two-tiered class of citizens ... first on board get all the benefits. Your desire to deflect this conversation into an "Israel's lack of integrity" one proves not "Israel's lack of integrity" but rather your own and your fraudulent "concern" for those hapless "Palestinians."
"But the state Abdullah foresees would deny equal participation, and hence fair representation at the United Nations and other international bodies, not only to the 5.3 million refugees living outside historic Palestine, as Goodwin-Gill warned, but also to nearly two million inside the 1967 territories. These comprise 45% of the West Banks Palestinian population and a whopping 67% of the Gaza Strips, excluding a total of 56% of the proposed states residents from citizenship. And this does not count 1.6 million Palestinians inside Israel, including hundreds of thousands of internally-displaced refugees."
