With even the Prime Minister of Israel working feverously to create a two-state solution, it is fair to ask, “Is the two-state solution an inevitable fait accompli?”
The answer is a resounding no. The global powers are NOT pursuing justice in their solution. They are pursuing tranquility.
If the two-state solution cannot bring tranquility, they will seek out a new path and a new consensus position will be built.
That is why after years of diplomatic taboo, some now talk openly about involving Jordan, much to King Abdullah’s dismay.
The open political discussion about a larger Israel will not happen immediately because as of yet, no credible statesman in our time has been willing to risk the wrath of being labeled an extremist by presenting an argument to counter those who demand that Israel withdraw to its pre-1967 borders.
No statesman has offered Palestinians any way to better their lives other than to pursue becoming citizens of a future feckless state.
No statesman has effectively put forth a case that the sole Jewish majority state, to be a self-sustaining viable state, must have adequate territory.
If you say there are no realistic alternatives to the two-state solution, you need to read my book.
The two-state solution is unworkable and unjust for both Israelis and Palestinians. It will not bring tranquility. And therefore, thankfully, it is not an inevitable fait accompli.
