Why should Israel and Palestine give up sovereignty for U.S. statehood?
Joining the U.S. means Israel and Palestine share U.S. sovereignty. They do not give up sovereignty, but instead trade stand-alone sovereignty for shared sovereignty. Shared American sovereignty offers Israel and Palestine the benefits of peace, stability, economic growth and justice, none of which have been obtainable with stand-alone sovereignty. Also, as is evidenced in Europe, the way of the future is multi-state unions rather than stand-alone states.
