Asked whether it would be neccessary to transfer and remove “every Jew” from a future Palestinian state, Areikat responded “absolutely.”
“I’m not saying to transfer every Jew, I’m saying transfer Jews who, after an agreement with Israel, fall under the jurisdiction of a Palestinian state,” he said then.
In so doing, he is repudiating the historic PLO position of considering all pre-Balfour Jews as "Palestinians." Not a good development, but then again the PLO Charter presupposed the abolition of the State of Israel.
Some of the Palestinian Arabs, like this "ambassador" and the PA which he represents, do want a two-state solution. The problem is that they want one state, called "Palestine", which is totally Arab and Jew-free, and a second state, called Israel, which will eventually become majority Arab.
That's why they refuse to recognize a Jewish state and insist on maintaining the "right of return". The "right of return" is the right to flood Israel with millions of third, fourth, and fifth generation "refugees".
The other Pals, headed by Hamas, don't put up any pretense and simply want to go straight to Israel's physical destruction.
They both have the same goal, just different methods.

You know, let's assume for a minute that the "clash of civilizations" theory has validity, and that most paranoid predictions of the most ardent neocons are about to come true.
Israel would still be a little vulnerable outpost that costs a lot more to maintain than it's worth strategically. Forget about them.
Watch out with precedent setting. I'd love to see the responses here on C-D if some radicalized Native American tribe starts demanding the expulsion of anyone who isn't, here in the United States.

In the United States, Native Americans are citizens and can (and frequently do) litigate. That's why there is no Chippewa Liberation Organization blowing up pizzerias.
When they do litigate, I am all for them. If we refused to let them litigate and they turned to violent resistance, I would demand that my government meet their demands.
BTW the section of the country I live in was settled peacefully under the terms of a very generous treaty, in 1855.
