Reader comment on item: Yossi Klein Halevi: Israel's Withdrawal from Gaza a "Disaster"

One more step is needed to make the Gaza debacle a success. The realization that the occupation is untenable. The Arab occupation of the Land of Israel creates an untenable situation. Thjis was realized by Churchill 86 years ago when he partitioned the British mandate of Palestine into two unequal parts. The large 78% of the land for the Arabs, and 22% for the Jews. The Jewish part was not disgnated for another Arab state. That was formed, and exists East of the Jordan river.

A good fair parity would be to agree on the same number of arabs west of the Jordan as there are jews east of the Jordan. Now that would end the arab occupation of the Holy Land.
