“Better to have a Jewish state on part of the land than have the whole land without the Jewish state,” he said. “Israel should implement the two-state solution for her own sake because if we should lose our majority, and today we are almost equal, we cannot remain a Jewish state or a democratic state . . . That’s the main issue, and to my regret they (the government) do the opposite.”

I had a column from Gideon Levy expressed much the same sentiment. I can't locate the column though.

Essentially, Israel will cease to be a democracy. I would argue they already have. The settlements are a fact on the ground, and the majority is not Jewish. The land has been effectively annexed and the Palestinians have no rights at all, let alone a vote. And when, not if they do get a vote, Israel will no longer be a Jewish state.

They won't survive, certainly not in the present form. In good conscience, I can't hope that they do.
