Anyone who follows the Palestinian issue knows there's been much more talk lately about a one-state or binational solution.  Here's some interesting strategizing by the Palestinians in that direction:

The Palestinian Strategy Study Group, an EU-funded project written by 27 leading Palestinian figures from across the political spectrum, argued that the current two-state framework for peace talks is failing to bring the promised independent state. [...] The [group's] final, and most striking proposal, is to shift to a "single state outcome" as the Palestinians' preferred goal. This, it said, would regain the strategic initiative for the Palestinians.

"Although many Palestinians may still prefer a genuine negotiated two-state solution, a failure of the present Annapolis initiative will greatly strengthen those who argue against this," the report said. "Most Palestinians are then likely to be convinced that a negotiated agreement is no longer possible."

The group's full report is here (pdf).  In the summary, they offer this perceptive analysis...:

Israel shows no sign of accepting even the 78% of historic Palestine that lies within the 1967 borders, but continues to encroach beyond them in order to create new ‘facts on the ground’ that will progressively render an independent Palestinian state on the remaining 22% inoperable. [...] Israel calculates that a negotiated two state outcome on the 1988 basis is permanently available, and supposes that it can perpetually hold out for better alternatives to a negotiated agreement. The Israeli position rests on the assumption that procrastination will continue to tilt the strategic balance increasingly in Israel’s favour. In short, Israel is not a serious negotiating partner.

...and then proceed to outline how the Palestinians have the ability not only to balk this Israeli strategy, but to enforce solutions that are far less desirable to Israel than accepting the international consensus.  The approach they outline may seem ambitious, especially given the current state of disarray between the Palestinian factions, but it's still refreshing and encouraging to read a Palestinian strategy document that makes serious proposals about ways to invert the existing balance of power.
