WHY THE ‘TWO-STATE SOLUTION’ HASN’T WORKED, AND CAN’T

With Islamist forces waiting to take advantage of any power vacuum, the area would plunge into Somalia-like chaos

Much has been written about the “two state solution” (TSS) or “two states for two peoples” (TSTP) as the path to resolving the conflict between Israel and Arab and Muslim countries and Palestinians, but at the same time there appears to be little understanding of why it consistently fails. It fails because it is focused on territory, Palestinian statehood, rather than ideology – Palestinian nationalism and Palestinianism, the belief that Jews have no right to a state and that Jewish nationalism, Zionism, is anathema and that Jewish history is a fraud.

TSS won’t work precisely because one state will be devoted to the destruction of the other.

That might actually make a two-state solution work better. There's nothing like a fence and lots of arms and ammunition to keep neighbors behaving well. Does anyone think Israel will be better off with a bunch of people in a permanent underclass living inside its borders?

Palestinians believe in a two state solution - North Palestine and South Palestine.

I do not understand why every new president is infected with the “Peace Process” disease. Taking the Oval Office suddenly gives them the idea that they, personally, are the great savior who will succeed where all others have failed.

There already was a two state solution. Israel and Transjordan. That hasn’t worked because the Jews are unwilling to allow themselves to be exterminated.

Selfish, aren’t they?

“I do not understand why every new president is infected with the “Peace Process” disease.”

It’s a check box on the resume. Mideast peace? Check. NATO strengthening? Check. Beyonce to the White House? Check.

two state solution WILL work....once the Moslems move or are repatriated or moved to the second ‘palestinian’ state that’s reserved for them ... today, it calls itself “Jordan” and comprises 3/4 of ‘palestine” already

so long as Moslems insist on squatting on Israeli land west of the Jordan River and trying to conquer, take over Israel (and kill the Christians and Jews).... there won’t be any peace possible. Note that mass-murderer Abbas and his PLO/PA train little Moslem children to hate Christians and Jews and want to kill them. And, Abbas/PLO also USE AMERICAN TAXPAYER $$$$ TO REWARD, PAY TERRORISTS including bonuses/pensions to survivors of Arab Terrorists that get themselves killed trying to murder more Jews and Christians.
Obama gave these murderous terrorist friends of his an extra $400 million just before he left office AND CONGRESS HAS DONE NOTHING.

There will never be peace until Jesus is seated at the peace table.
