Why not... It is the promised land.

I think this is a confession that Israel succeded to establish a country that is successful and respected politically and economically, and that Israel respects its citizens even if they are palestinians.

I believe what is best for Israel is to be a place such as the United States, that attract people from any religion or denomination. Israel can be a refuge for a lot of people who are persecuted and rejected in their home lands.

However, Israel principles can be safegarded by the constitution and different Israeli institutions. I do not believe that creating a separate Palestinian state will solve any problem or will restore peace, maybe include palestinians in Israel slowly and over long period of time will finaly restore peace under a large Israeli state.
