Jews in a Palestinian state

For the answer, we can look at the status of Palestinian Arabs. Mr. Fayyad's words ring hollow when one looks at the horrific treatment of Christians in the Palewstinian territiories. For years, the Christian populations in places such as Bethlehem and El Bireh have been in constant decline, so now they are a minority in both areas that were once Christian Arab cities. They are under continuous pressure, including threats and physical violence to immigrate and most do. Who would be so naive as to seriously believe that Jewish residents would fare better treatment?
