    Sure, but poverty is also generational. The type of poverty that Palestinians have been experiencing won’t be shaken off quickly, even under the best of circumstances. I’m just not sure what circumstances Israeli Jews would consent to a single state solution unless they’re guaranteed to stay in power. Many Israeli Jews came from majority Muslim countries where antisemitism drove them out. Their descendants are unlikely to forget that in any discussion.
