One state or two or a billion- no modern nation should ever ever ever persecute, impoverish, expel and displace men, women and children in order to create and keep a favored demographic "balance".
One state or two or a billion, reasonable people should not be bullied into betraying the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as countless UN Resolutions.
The key to peace- a just and lasting peace- is to start FULLY respecting the Palestinian refugees' inalienable legal and moral right to return to original homes and lands.
True return- not more forced transfer:
Refugees and the Right of Return
"Palestinian refugees must be given the option to exercise their right of return (as well as receive compensation for their losses arising from their dispossession and displacement) though refugees may prefer other options such as: (i) resettlement in third countries, (ii) resettlement in a newly independent Palestine (even though they originate from that part of Palestine which became Israel) or (iii) normalization of their legal status in the host country where they currently reside. What is important is that individual refugees decide for themselves which option they prefer – a decision must not be imposed upon them." http://www.plomission.us/index.php?page=core-issues-3
