Israel & Australia comparasions

I made the below table for one of my lectures based on 2004 figures (multiple identification for the NZ figures hence not strictly comparable):

	Indigenous population	Settlers
South Africa	79%	11.4%
Canada	6.5%	93.5%
Israel/Palestine	47.7%	52.3%
New Zealand	14.7%	87.3%
Australia	2.2%	97.8%

It suggests however why the Israel/Palestine issue is so unresolvable. It shows too that Australia and Israel/Palestine are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Australia is however second only to Israel in its level of post-war migration. I remember Peter Sheldon, gave a paper at the 1997 Labour History conference on parallels between the experience of different migrant groups to Israel, and how the experience of those Sephardic Jews from the middle east rather than the European paralleled the Australian experience of non-Anglo migrants (I don't think it was ever published). Only now does Israeli Labour have a leader from a recent migrant background. Lorenzo Veracini has highlighted the parallels between Australian and Israelii attempts to come to terms with the colonial past comparing the fate of Palestinians and aboriginals.
The impossible task of the Palestinian Authority, powerless and overburdened by expectations, could even be compared to the fate of the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Commission in Australia. ATSIC had its share of leadership problems, especially Warrnambool local Geoff Clarke, but this was an effect rather than a cause of its problems.
My way forward: have Israelis and Palestinians elect a one electorate a constituent assembly to resolve the political makeup of these lands. Given the geographical distribution of the two populations this would probably result in two 'states', but the rights of both to self-determination must be qualified by commitments to human rights, which is particularly relevant given the rise of fundamentalism. It is unrealistic to expect that these would not be ethnic nationalist states, but there is a spectrum of ethnic nationalisms.
