That’s an idea: if the shadchan charges an exorbitant amount from the onset, the parties will be more pressed to take the shidduch offers, that the shadchan had spent hours on, more seriously. Instead of being so quick to reject a shidduch, the two sides may consider going on another date to get their money’s worth out of the shidduch. Perhaps the shadchan should charge per shidduch offer.

Kerry presented three options for Israel: two-state solution, one-state solution and democratic, or one-state solution and Jewish. The problem is that he, along with the rest of the world, would never accept Israel being Jewish and not democratic in a one-state solution realm. That is because to be Jewish in a one-state solution would be to either remove the Arabs, or deny them the right to vote. To Kerry, there are really only two options: two state solution or one state solution that is democratic.
