Outside of the Middle East, there the revulsion to Israel as a Jewish state is minimal and marginalized, provided the borders of that state are roughly similar to the pre-1967 borders. It is true that more Israelis are able to accept such a compromise than Arabs are, but the fact is that you don’t get to choose your enemies. If I were Israeli I would support one final effort at negotiations, and that failing, unilaterally implement the “clinton parameters” for final status, offered at Taba in 2000. Then build a wall around those borders. Then offer to open trade and employment opportunities through any entity that emerges in west bank and gaza and is willing to accept the same. World opposition to such actions would be minimal.
