CMV: Palestine should cut its losses and give up on East Jerusalem

While it would be ideal for Jerusalem to be an international city or East Jerusalem to be the capital of Palestine, we all know Israel will never let it happen. 

Look up all the previous offers by Israel for an independent Palestine. The current land of Palestine is just a FRACTION of what Israel offered back in 1947.   

**The main reason Palestine refused these offers (and rightfully so) was that they’d lose East Jerusalem.**

While it’s ridiculously unfair that Israel demands East Jerusalem, we have to acknowledge that the Palestinians are outgunned. The land offered by Israel continued to shrink as the conflict is prolonged and Jews settle further into Palestine. I know East Jerusalem is religiously significant to the Palestinians and it’s not fair they don’t get to keep it, they will never overcome a US-backed Israel. 

Palestine should cut their losses and take whatever land they have left before Israel takes it all. They’ve already lost so much land they could have kept if they gave up and accepted the 1947 proposal.

Israel will likely finally agree to formally recognized Palestine if Palestine agrees that they only get whatever’s left of the Gaza Strip and West Bank. It sucks that Palestine won’t get back the stolen land, but at least it’s better than the current trajectory of Palestine eventually being fully annexed.

1.  No, Israel won't agree to that.  They're much happier with the status quo.  

2.  The non-Israeli controlled areas of the west bank absolutely are nonviable as a country.  The areas under PA control in the west bank are a bunch of discontiguous islands separated by Israeli-controlled highways and settlements.

At this point, the two state solution is dead as a doornail.  The only viable plan is a *one* state solution where Palestinians are integrated into Israel as full and equal citizens.  And tossing a ton of your people under the bus makes that harder to agitate for and execute.
