No possibility of peace

The two-state solution is dead. In fact, it never was alive (viable) because the Arabs never accepted the Jewish state, and most Arabs and most Muslims never will. And the PA never did anything to stop terrorism.

The only way to maximise Israel's security is to create one powerful state for Jews between the Med and the Jordan River, no matter how much the Arabs whine about "ethnic cleansing."

But Israel would still be surrounded by enemies committed to her destruction, conducting suicide missions, etc. So it would be a "hot peace" that would be very costly to maintain and intermittent in its duration. The Arab suicide missions, incursions, and assassinations of Jews would never stop.

So how is peace possible?
