ABSTRACT
There is only one framework for dramatic improvement in relations between Jews and Palestinian Arabs within Palestine/the Land of Israel that has ever attracted majorities on both sides. That framework, however imperfect, is partition – division of the land into two closely related but politically separate sovereign states. Despite the cumulative effects of four decades of occupation, settlement, de facto annexation; and despite the increased interest in some circles in eliminationist or integrationist solutions, it is safe to say that significant pluralities and even majorities of Jews and of Palestinians are still willing to accept it in return for a secure peace.
