Let us assume that we have naturalized the Palestinians - how can we solve the following issues:

1. Israel demographic problem that needs a solution. Will they export more Palestinians to be naturalized elsewhere? A recipe for future disasters.

2. Israel water needs. One might say that this could be solved by buying water from Turkey or de-salinating the sea. Then how come Israel always steals or is stealing Lebanon's waters?

3. Israel's biblical "promises" - how can you convince the Haredims (and other orthodox jews) that it is OK to relinquish aims in other countries? If they gave up Gaza, that is because it has no value in Biblical terms. But will they give up the West Bank, parts of Jerusalem, claims in South Lebanon? Naturalization does not serve this one too!

4. Israel foundations: as a society, Israel needs wars and cannot continue without them (check what Grossman said yesterday) - if peace comes, they will blow each other into pieces for all the differences they have (race, religious sects, secular - non secular, Saphardim - Ashkinaz, ec.). Naturalization will not solve this problem also..

I can state other reasons why naturalization solves nothing but the mentioned above are good for now!
