Addicted to the wrong Solution
The Two State Delusion has interviews with several significant policy-makers, both Palestinian and Israeli, who all know that the two-state solution will not and can not happen. O’Malley makes a good argument that the two sides are actually addicted to a process they know won’t succeed.
Contrary to what most government and organizations promote (as well as another book I just finished (A Just Zionism) the two-state solution is dead, and becoming deader every day. The land grabs by Israeli settlers, supported by every Israeli government, is one of the many actions that prevented a two-state solution.
This leaves one reality. A one-state solution. As so many people and books advocate for, the one-state solution must be based on decolonization and equal rights. The proper one-state will lead to a decrease in anti-Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and hatred. The goal of the two-state solution was never a lasting peace (how can you have peace when one side has nuclear weapons, and the other side has no military?). The one-state solution done properly will lead to a lasting peace.
Do not be on the wrong side of history.
