why not make the West Bank part of Jordan?

If the settlements were dismantled a two-state solution or a union between the West Bank and Jordan would be much more viable as possible solutions. Back to the borders of 1967.

But I think that would fall on the issue of the settlements, in particular eastern Jerusalem. Same as a two state solution.

Certainly, you are smart enough to know that the Palestinians will vote the Israeli's out of government and, then, out of existence.

What does voting out of existence mean? Do you mean that the palestinians would elect a party on a genocidal platform?

Lets check that scenario. First, even if such a party won the elections it takes a long time to penetrate a states mechanisms. To take an example, the military would not obey such an order. Replacing the military without provoking a coup would take a long time. Would not other issues take precendence during this time?

Second, you ignore Franks suggestion of North Ireland style constitutional checks to make sure that neither side tramples the other.

Third, the assumption that given the chance the palestinians would kill the israelis is very similar to the assumption that given the chance the black population of South Africa would kill the white. In the end, it did not happen.
