@cicerone imposter,
It is true that letting the Palestinians have their own state is a stupid idea. But we have to stick the little buggers somewhere.
I wasn't suggesting forcing anyone to do anything. If the Palestinians don't want to have a state, I'm not proposing that they be forced to have a state. However, if they don't want to have a state, then they should stop whining about statehood.
My point was that letting the Palestinians declare the Gaza Strip as a state seems like a reasonable solution. Palestinians in the West Bank can be removed and resettled in the Gaza Strip.
