    "...secular, egalitarian social democracy. Perhaps if they could point to one nation with a Muslim majority that successfully functioned that way..."

    What, are Muslims too sub-human and therefore incapable? There is a country named Turkey, doesn't sound like you've heard of it. Go look it up.

    "If there's a third option or a fourth option available to Israel, would someone please tell me what it is?"

    I guess not. They may as well just exterminate all Palestinians plus any other Arabs that try to get in the way. Then they will have peace, right?
