Illegal Jewish Settlements on Palestinian lands are gobbling up the land that would become part of a Palestinian state, making the two-state solution impossible.
The only alternative to the two-state solution is that the Palestinians become part of the state of Israel. Except many Jewish Israelis hate that idea. Israeli government officials have recently said that Israel is a Jewish State, that non-Jews will have to leave Israel once a Palestinian state is created.
But there’s little land for a state left.
What this points to is that Palestinians will likely get absorbed into Israel, Israel will declare that it owns all the land that is currently Palestinian land, and Palestinians will be treated as second class citizens, an apartheid enforced by the Israeli government.
It’s little different than the current situation, other than the Palestinians will officially lose all their land to Israel, rather than Israel stealing it one illegal settlement at a time.
