*****REVISED VERSION: SANITIZED FOR THE CENSORS*****
So let me suggest that the one- and two-state solutions are inside the box thinking, and both are non-starters. Kabuki to cover the real goal, that has been the real goal from the start of the Zionist project: all of Eretz Israel for the Jews, and the Arabs, well,... "erased", "disappeared", "not in the picture".
It reminds me of the Gordian knot. Big-äss impossibly tangled and knotted giant ball of rope-like material. Legend held that he who untangled the Gordian knot would conquer the world. From "inside the box" it looked like an impossibility, like the Isräel/Pälestine problem. But Alexander the Great would not be confined to "the box", and took out his sword and chopped up the Gordian knot, and then went on to conquer the world. Most of the known world of the time.
Avnery, with all his sincerity is just fooling himself. Making himself feel good and just, his ethical talk salving his troubled conscience. I believe in his "sincerity", but it's just nonsense. The liberal-Zionïsts are still Zionïsts, in league with the right-wing. They're playing the "good cop" to the right-wing's "bad cop". It's all just a stall. Nearly all the Jëws, left and right, liberal and fascistic, want all of Pälestine. And they have it now. They just have to figure out how to legitimize their conquest, how to get the rest of the world to agree. That's how they see the problem.

Now if you are looking for a "workable" solution, one that prioritizes ***little to no bloodshed***, something other than the one- and two-state baloney, I have one for you. I hate it. You will hate it. But it has that one crucial element: it is achievable.
Sykes-Picot is dead. The region is in turmoil. Nation states are collapsing. Borders are gone. For the first time in a hundred years a reconfiguration is possible. In particular, the Sunni tribal region from the Upper Euphrates valley in the north to the Iraqi/Saudi border of Anbar in the south, is "in play". The world agrees, ISIS must be exterminated, but who will take their place? The Sunnis won't be dominated -- not willingly anyway -- by either Assad or by the Shia govt of Iraq. So what happens with this region? How can it be stabilized?
I see an opportunity here. Create Sunnistan. Build a shiny , modern, new country there. The Jëws, Saudis, Brits provide the funding, and relocate the Palestinians to this, their new home.
Now, before you get all "it'll never work" on me, understand, this is a ***VOLUNTARY*** relocation. No Bayonets, no massacres, no repeat of the Näkba. Offer the Pälestinians a deal too sweet to turn down: new house, new car, new cities, new roads, new jobs, shiny new lives in a shiny new country (This is Trump-the-real-estate-wizard's specialty)...***with the Isräeli jackboot off their throats***. The key: the world Jëwish community will love it and will do everything in their power to make it happen. And Jëwish power, being what it is, the Jëws will make it happen.
The Jëws have won. Time to get over it and move on.
I told you you'd hate it.
