Did the Pope commit another gaffe or was it worse?

The headline said that the Pope called for a Palestinian state upon his arrival in Israel. Pushy and simplistic as that might have been, the actual statement was unbelievably worse.

This scholarly Pope cannot have misspoken when he said "I plead with all those responsible to explore every possible avenue in the search for a just resolution of the outstanding difficulties, so that both peoples may live in peace in a homeland of their own within secure and internationally recognized borders." Therefore, I must take it seriously that he has incredibly expressed support for a unitary state rather than what he might have said: (delete "a") homelandS of their own EACH within secure and internatioally recognized borders."

This plays into the hands of the present legalistic ( and finally clarified) effort to have two states but not either a "Jewish" state. Whereas the original mandate of a "two-state solution" was "two homelands for two peoples" we now see the tricky aiming to have one homeland for only Palestinians and one a state, not Jewish, and likely to be dominated demographically by Arabs inevitably. For the Pope even seeming to endorse either of these unacceptable alternatives is 'way beyond helpful.
