This is the only model Israel has been willing to even pretend to consider.

But the "two-state solution" as discussed thus far by the world community - as represented now by "The Quartet" - might be more accurately called the "two-state scam." The 2-state model the world envisions is seriously flawed since it does not repudiate Israel's racist foundation, goals, and legal structures.  Moreover, even that is not what Israel is willing to offer.  UN Resolution 242 has demanded that Israel withdraw to the 1967 borders and UN Resolution 194 mandates the right of return of ALL refugees to THEIR homes.  The Arab League, including Hamas, has agreed to accept Israel and guarantee Israel's security under these conditions, but Israel has steadfastly refused.

If Israel only wants security as they claim, why the refusal?  The Zionist agenda from the beginning before 1948 through the explicitly stated objectives of Arial Sharon in 2000 has been to expel the Arabs and take all the land.  The "peace process" in which they sporadically engage has been an insincere stalling tactic while they continue to expand the settlements, isolate Palestinian communities, and crush the Palestinian economy in an obvious effort to make Palestinian lives unbearable. 

Israel's "generous" agreement offers including the Geneva Accord and the Oslo Agreement fail to include the Palestinian diaspora and their internationally declared right to return and compensation, would limit Palestine to a scattering of confined and ghettoized bantustans isolated from each other by the "security wall" and a network of Jewish-only roads, with no viable economic institutions and no political sovereignty such as control of their own borders and security forces. 

The most recent offer includes only limited right of refugee return with the where and how many to be determined by Israel unilaterally.  This is entirely unacceptable to the Palestinians and entirely incompatible with international law and numerous UN resolutions.

Moreover, Palestinan citizens of Israel are subjected to rigid apartheid laws which would not be remedied by allowing Israel to continue its repressive, undemocratic and archaic policies of ethnic nationalism (Zionism), and this "solution" would predictably create pressure, opportunity and excuse to "transfer" non-Jewish citizens from their own lands and homes to the "new Palestine" - a further ethnic cleansing in violation of international law.
