...badk in 2000 and they still take up < 2% of W.Bank land today. This notion that settlements are expanding to such an extent as to make 2 states impossible is fiction.

If the Palestinians accepted the Clinton Plan like Israel did back in 2000 and were genuine about peace, Israelis would overwhelmingly be for it too. Unfortunately, the PA/Hamas do not and have never wanted their own state alongside a Jewish one, as the PA battle against Balfour for the next year proves.
