Israeli`s Palestinian citizens do not have to "choose" between being Zionists and being Palestinians. They were on their land before the state of Israel was created and they aren`t going anywhere. In fact, they are 20% of Israel`s citizens today, and their numbers are increasing. It is Israel that has to decide at what point it is time to stop dispossessing Palestinians, so that the 20% in Israel proper and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza do not start demanding equality in the state they live in--which today is Israel. Use the brain that god gave you and you will see that it is Israel that has to take a decision today about its future. Olmert has tried to point this out, as has every major Israeli leader.
