"The occupation is more entrenched than ever, its end more remote than ever, and the settlers have won in a stinging knockout. It's time to raise the white flag, to admit publicly that the two-state solution has been foiled."
With over half a million West Bank settlers, Palestinian land stolen daily, and East Jerusalem ethnic cleansing in full swing, it was "foiled" years ago. Reality now's more apparent. Palestinian suffering explains best.
Israel's two-state solution idea is none at all, or at best, leaving worthless, isolated scrub land after stealing all valued Judea and Samaria parts, including East Jerusalem entirely.
"Israel's radical left won." The only workable solution is one state for Arabs and Jews equally. Getting it's another matter.
Palestinians aren't leaving. Neither are settlers. More arrive daily. Resolution depends on cutting the Gordian Knot obstacle to ending decades of conflict.
The struggle continues. "From now on it must focus on human rights." That's always the issue for everyone everywhere, including in Israel/Palestine.
Achieving it depends on the Palestinian street. Twice before Intifadas erupted. Expect another one, perhaps sooner than imagined.
