"the only rational solutions are a return to the 1967 borders or ethnic cleansing."

Not really. Among the other rational solutions is to annex 20% of the west bank closest to 1948 borders.

Or, to forestall the demographic trends, annex all of the west bank and leave Gaza to be the Palestinian state. There are 1.2 million Palestinians in Gaza... such a move would set back these demographic trends by decades or longer. Not that I necessarily advocate these moves, just that things are don't have to be black and white, all or nothing.

True, but the thesis of the article is undeniable. Israel cannot draw a new national border around all its existing settlements, keeping the Palestinians within those lines, while retaining its Jewish character and remaining a democracy.

It's demographically impossible.
