Israel and the Two-State Delusion
American Thinker ^ | 11/10/11 | William A. Levinson

Posted on 11/10/2011 1:26:31 PM PST by Winged Hussar

The "general consensus" that permanent peace in the Middle East requires the creation of an independent Palestinian state is a dangerous delusion that can lead nowhere but to terrorism, violence, and war. This article will shatter that delusion with what engineers -- i.e., people who deal in impartial facts as opposed to dreams and ideologies -- call a root cause assessment.

...Even though Israel would not "occupy" Gaza, Judea, and Samaria for another nineteen years, its Arab neighbors then began a long litany of terroristic violence against it. The two-state argument therefore confuses cause with effect. The "occupation" is the consequence and not the cause of Arab violence, and it is past time to say this openly and without apology or equivocation. The Arabs did not conspire to attack Israel in 1967 because Israel had occupied their land any more than the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in retaliation for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I like the “Three State” solution: Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. Who needs Palis?

“The Allies could rehabilitate Germany and Japan economically only after they removed these countries’ warlords from power. If Israel cannot apply the same remedy to its attackers, it must put them down in such a way that they will never get up again. This is the only way to achieve lasting peace, and it is the only thing the world’s aggressors fear or understand.”

The sooner all of us come to understand this about the Arabs, the sooner we will all be able to make this world a better place.

Thanks Winged Hussar.

I like the One State Solution best -- Israel, with no neighbors for hundreds of miles.
