What is the process for a Palestinian living in the west bank to become an Israeli citizen. I'm not denying the possability, It's just new to me, so I'm asking. Because if it's that easy, I'm shocked that Palestinians haven't simply changed Israel from within. Perhaps they don't want to become Israeli citizens because they are Palestinians and feel becoming Israelis would signify a loss of identity.

A Palestinian can acquire Jordanian citizenship by leaving their home. While Israeli's cannot emigrate to Jordan and lobby for citizenship, there are many countries they can emigrate to. Citizenship is not gauranteed, but I don't really see a great deal of difficulty in an Israeli attaing American citizenship, if they are willing to abandon their home.
