I guess they really want Israel to stop!

    I have issue with supporting an apartheid state. I think aid should be conditioned on Israel granting full citizenship to Palestinians.

        The opposite, granting Palestinians citizenship allows them to potentially control the government.

        Compare that to any point in our lifetime, where Israel has been their defacto government: Palestinians must report each birth, each change of address to a “foreign” government. If they want to leave their country, they must seek permission from the “foreign” government. If they want to visit their family across town, they must present identification to a “foreign” government.

        Citizenship ends apartheid.

          Ah, I missed the “full” part. Yes, that would be great, but I don’t doubt that they’d still be treated as second-class citizens.

        That would make their version of parliament roughly half Palestinian. More if the right of return was generally enforced. (Just allowing them to move back into the country) So the resulting country would actually be pretty fair to them as long as the apartheid part really is gotten rid of.
