0:00.0	I think that the main issue is not whether we want to state solution, yes or no.
0:05.2	The real question is one. Where are we heading? Anxation or separation?
0:11.2	What is best for Israel to annex five million Palestinians in Judea, Samaria, in the West Bank
0:17.7	from the Gaza Strip, or to separate ourselves from them.
0:22.1	I think that if you want Israel to remain the homeland of all the Jewish people and at the
