		He oversaw the establishment of some 200 settlements on land expropriated from Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza; these settlements are home today to almost half a million Israelis.

	Some Possible Federal Solutions
		A cantonal plan such as this would require a drastic internal change in Israel's political system in the sense that the single Jewish state would be transformed into several constituent entities, each with greater or lesser internal autonomy for domestic purposes.
		Provision can be made for constituent assemblies in each canton, with cantons being maintained as centrally administered territories until such constituent assemblies meet, and with a common constitution or basic law drawn up for the whole country at an appropriate time.
		Thus, for example, the national aspects of educational policy and administration could be transferred by the cantons to separate intercantonal authorities for Jews and Arabs or to a federal ministry of education with two divisions.
