In a provocative column, Robert Wright says "Yes." He says Palestinians should accept a one-state solution for now, then immediately demand their right to vote.
Problem is, Israel wouldn't grant that, and savvy Israelis probably would see through the stratagem from the start.
Wright also mentions how elected Palestinian officials would lose power, for the nonce. That makes it less attractive to them.
And, as for gaining "international support"? Abbas' Palestinians already have that. Is it making a difference? Nope.
So, sorry, Mr. Wright.
It IS a nice try, though!
