Interesting author. It was nice of him to admit that the Palestinians were not forced to leave Israel. It would have been nicer had he mentioned that it was more than fear that caused them to leave in 1948. In fact, the Jews begged them to stay, to help make it a nation for both of them. The Muslims refused, believing that their counterparts would defeat the Jews and they would be able to return and gain even more property. And, yes, some did leave because they were afraid that they would be killed by the Jews, but the majority left out of arrogance and greed.

However, that being said, I agree with his premise. The only way there will be peace between Israel and Palestine is to make it one nation with full integration. More importantly, there would have to be a full acceptance by all that they are one nation and take pride in that nation. Sadly, I don't ever see that happening. At least not in this lifetime.
