Ask the black people how they feel about not being Jewish in Israel or even the Ethiopian Jews how they feel being black in Israel. The laws say one thing and they treat them totally inferior.

Both sides struggle or would struggle treating religious minorities fairly. Don't try and paint one side with a bad brush when the reality is Israel treats religious minorities unjust and very poorly.
There was a Palestinian state before 1948 (beside Jordan I mean)?

I wasn't trying to paint anything in any way. I just want to know if a Palestinian state, with like a powerful Hamas faction involved in their political structure (which it likely would be), could be trusted to respect Jewish rights in a Palestinian state.
