Late reply ;) 1. There would still be a Jewish majority given those numbers. 2. A democracy can have a constitution that can't be changed by a simple majority

Late reply ;) 1. There would still be a Jewish majority given those numbers. 2. A democracy can have a constitution that can't be changed by a simple majority. 3. A minority can have a huge sway in a democracy, e.g. the small parties that form the balance in forming a coalition in Israel today. 4. The Jews and non-jews in Israel aren't exactly the homogeneous entities they are perceived to be. There's plenty of Jews and non-Jews/Palestinians who are closer in their cultural, political and even religious views than in between some Jews and some non-Jews. 5. The US could totally work with 200 million more Chinese. If I was a US citizen of Chinese origin I'd probably take this question as pretty offensive. Anyhow, the precise formula, whether it's one "state" or a federation, or something along those lines can be figured out over time. The degree to which these populations are intertwined right now and the ongoing costs of the current situation are going to force this to happen. It's really the Israeli right that has been pushing in this direction all along, since in their book none of the land can be given up and obviously the Palestinians aren't gonna just move somewhere else.
