I'm totally for 2 states, but I don't believe building up in areas that will go to Israel in any arrangement is an impediment to peace.

I'm with you opposing the buildup of settlements in areas that would most likely become Palestinian. That's w/o question an impediment, but where is that going on?

As for the possible impossibility of a liberal democratic Israel, that's not happening. The Palestinians will just be offered less for a state the longer they hold out.
