Washington, DC - After more than a generation of excavation in the Middle East, the US government has finally concluded that the hole it has been digging for the “Two State Solution” has no foreseeable “pot of gold” at the bottom. Nor, to mix metaphors a bit, does the room filled with manure have a pony in it as hypothesized by the little optimist.
So we have stopped digging (and closed the door to the manure pile). It was not that that “the two state solution” has not seemed both tantalizing and seductively attainable. It should have been Political Science 101 simple: a state for Israel. A state for Palestine. Land swaps transferring parts of Israel to Palestine to compensate for the major settlements constructed in the West Bank post-1967. And Jerusalem as the capital for both Israel and Palestine.
