ABANDON THE FAILED 2-STATE NOTION

Moshe Ya'alon continues with some wise observations about why the 2-state propaganda must be left behind:
(IsraelNN.com) Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe (Boogie) Yaalon believes that the time has come for Israel to “free itself from the failed paradigm” of the “two-state solution.” Yaalon spoke Tuesday at a meeting of MKs dedicated to finding an alternative to the creation of a Palestinian Authority-led Arab state.

While the creation of a PA-led state in Judea, Samaria and Gaza is perceived as a necessity both in Israel and worldwide, such a state would not solve the Israel-PA conflict, said Yaalon. In fact, he said, it is doubtful that the possibility of creating such a state exists, due to Arab and Muslim reluctance to take any step that would imply recognition of Israel or compromise on Arab claims to the entire Land of Israel.
On some related notes, aside from that, the government is going to have to a]take convincing steps to prove that it will allow for new homes to be built, and b]will not keep on dismantling "outposts". So far, I assume that Ehud Barak, who wants to do the latter, has been convinced by those concerned in the coalition not to, as he has backed off of destroying several homes in Ofra. But there's still much more that needs to be done about the problem, and let us note that even Netanyahu cannot be ignored here.

RELIAPUNDIT ADDS:

I BELIEVE IN THE TWO STATE SOLUTION: ISRAEL AND JORDAN.
  • BRITISH "PALESTINE" CONSISTED OF WHAT IS NOW ISRAEL AND WHAT IS NOW JORDAN.
  • ISRAEL WAS SUPPOSED TO INCLUDE MOST OF WHAT IS NOW JORDAN.
  • I SAY, WE LET THE ARABS KEEP JORDAN, WE ANNEX THE SO-CALLED "OCCUPIED TERRITORY"/'WEST BANK", OFFER ARABS IN THE "WEST BANK" AN ISRAELI PASSPORT OR A JORDANIAN ONE; AND GIVE ARABS WHO TAKE AN ISRAELI PASSPORT A LOT OF LOCAL POLITICAL POWER.
  • AND WE TREAT GAZA EXACTLY THEY DESERVE TO BE TREATED: AS A HOSTILE STATE WE ARE AT WAR WITH.
