Anyone proposing a one state solution always seems totally disingenuous. It's a movement that's become popular with right wing Israelis too. The Israeli perspective on it seems to be that it will allow them to take over the West Bank. The Palestinian perspective on it seems to be that they will just have numbers and be able to out vote the Israelis. Both of these perspectives ignore the fundamental core of democracy, in that all people are represented, not just the group with the biggest numbers and/or most power.
The people proposing this solution seem to only do so when they think future demographics are on their side. In reality, the future demographic situation is up in the air. Birth rates among Arabs are falling dramatically and who knows what would happen if borders were removed and it just became a free for all with free movement of people. In a one state solution, there are no more "settlers", just citizens of one country moving into other areas of that country.
The concept is further muddied as the region contains huge groups of people, on both sides, who hold deeply religious values that are decidedly undemocratic.
I can't possibly see how a one state solution wouldn't end up in more conflict. The closest functional solution to that would be some kind of binational economic federation. This would still require hard borders.
