In a speech Tuesday night, MK Tzippi Livni, head of Kadima, said that the term "Jewish, democratic state" should be read as meaning "two states for two peoples."
According to Livni, "a political settlement will cost us a great deal, but the public, along with the leadership, must understand that there is also a price to pay if there is no settlement – and that price is greater than the alternative," she said.

Livni, as usual, is myopic and wrong.
There's a fundamental dichotomy between a Jewish State and a democratic state that Livni (and others like her) either fail to grasp or for reasons of political expediency fail to acknowledge.
Rav Kahane brilliantly exposed this tragic and flawed thinking by simply asking 'should the Arabs be allowed to peacefully and democratically come to power in Israel and bring an end to the Jewish State ?'.
Of course, none of his detractors or the people he debated back then, could ever supply a satisfactory response to this most basic question.
And now, decades later, Livni and her ilk still have no satisfactory answer.
Livni's answer is to amputate portions of the Land of Israel, in which Arabs are the majority, and to create apartheid Judenrein Arab states on that land in order that a Jewish democratic state can be sustained on the remaining parcel.
Of course, in Livni's myopic vision of the future, Arabs will remain in what's left of the Jewish democratic state, and eventually another 'amputation' will have to be performed, and then another, until Israel is no more.
The concept of resident stranger or transfer of the Arabs is anathema to Livni.
However, any clear thinking person should realize that this is the only answer.
Rav Kahane was right then, and he's right now.
