Think of Gaza as a mini experimental solution for a 2 state solution. What a disaster it has been with Hamas and Fatah infighting....do the Palestinians recognize the right for Israel to exist? Hardly.....a 2 state solution and a homeland for the Palestinians not possible without radical changes to it’s leaders and mentality. Condi Rice needs to turn the lights on.
This is why all talk of a "two-state solution" comes from the west, never from the arabs. It is a fool's wish and even to treat it as a serious goal, absent a decisive military solution first, is a step toward the end of Israel as it exists today.
