Ever since my first of many trips to Israel, in 1976, just three years after the Yom Kippur war, and only nine years after the Six Day War in which Israel gained the territory known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, filled with millions of Palestinians, as well as the Golan Heights and the Sinai peninsula (since returned to Egypt), I have known that it was untenable for Israel to hold onto these occupied territories with millions of Palestinian residents, and maintain its stature as both a Jewish and democratic state. I was only 17 years old, but the demographics were obvious even then, and they have become even more obvious since that time.
