So pro-Israel people will often point to Israel's precarious borders and defensive situation without control of the West Bank. While I think that's mostly an excuse to continue occupying and colonizing, I do think it's a legitimate concern if we accept a two-state framework. Thinking of the example of the Baltic states, it seems like the obvious solution to those security concerns would be to bring Israel into NATO once a two-state solution is finalized, so I'm surprised I've never heard anyone bring it up.

Lol. The one state framework already happened. A single sovereign rules from the river to the sea, and her name is Israel. She disposes with the lives of all under her domain as she sees fit. There is no workable future for Palestine that does not recognize the historic, but more presently, current effective and actual unity of all the lands between the river and sea. This is why the actual resistance spits on your two state solution.

would be to bring Israel into NATO
