This border proposal is not meant to specifically address the cultural issues within the two nations. Nevertheless, we hope that within the parameters of an agreed-upon border, the citizens of the two nations would develop the culture or maintain the culture that they wish for their nations. 

The Citizens Proposal does not see a problem with labeling Israel a “Jewish state” or Palestine an “Arab state.” However, we do see a problem if all citizens in either state are not supported in their aspirations. We would ask each nation to respect the voices of significant numbers of citizens who might object to any such labeling. We do not believe in railroading issues, and we believe that with a more feminine approach, issues can be resolved through process and through effective and committed management.
