But, I've strayed into arguments I hate, the ones that focus on the past. As for the present and future, Isreal exists and should continue to exist. A divided Palestinian state is not good for the Palestinians or Israelis, therefore a democratic and free Israel over the entire region with equal treatment to everyone is the overall best answer.

of course once the jews stop being dominant in israel it will stop being the free, democratic country that provides equality for its citizens and devolve into the typical oppressive middle-eastern regime. if they become a minority by being out born by the israeli arabs, then its less likely to happen, but absorbing the west bank and gaza is a death sentence for the country

That simply makes no sense. Just because it would have an Arab majority does not mean it would divert to some fanatical state. There have been millions of Arabs (Muslims/Christians) living in Israel since its creation, those Arabs don't rise up and cause any issues because they enjoy the life in Israel and its mostly equal freedoms. Also, Gaza would probably not get absorbed in the first place.
The nation exists, it would probably finally have a binding constitution and as long as it kept everything open and free for all, meaning some current laws would require changing, such as who can join military as well as being able to buy land anywhere, etc, then there would be no long term issues.
