Grass is Greener on the Other Side

I find it interesting that Olmert thinks that a two-state solution is the only option for Israel in order to continue to exist as a civilized sovereign nation. It seems to me that if a two-state solution is reached, too many Palestinians who wish to eliminate Israel all together. As much as the two-state idea sounds like an ideal one, it would be allowing too much growth and power from the Palestinians who as I have discussed already also want more than what they are given. Especially with Iran on their back, a country that hopes to have Israel wiped off the map in the near future. One can only imagine that if the Arab nations had the chance to suffocate Israel they would jump at the opportunity. I'm not saying that Israel should take things into their own hands and eliminate the Palestinians, but I do not know if splitting the land 50/50 is really in Israel's best interest. The Jews have no where else to call home, where as the Palestinians have no real ties except that they were there first, and if we went by who had which land first, the Native Americans would be the ones regulating American casinos on reservations. There is no easy solution, nor is there one that will please all parties involved, but considering what Israel has had to go through to get to where they are today, I think it should be on the Arabic nations surrounding Israel to take in the refugees when they were the ones who attacked Israel to begin with.
