Synopsis A manifesto that exposes the flaws in the two-state policy of the United States toward Israel and the Palestinians and offers a direct and powerful call for Israeli sovereignty in the region.
The reigning consensus in elite and academic circles is that the United States must seek to resolve the Palestinians' conflict with Israel by implementing the so-called two-state solution. Establishing a Palestinian state, so the thinking goes, would be a panacea for all the region’s ills. It would end the Arab world’s conflict with Israel, because the reason the Arab world is anti-Israel is that there is no Palestinian state. It would also nearly erase the principal cause of the violent extremism in the rest of the Middle East.
In a time when American politics are marked by partisan gridlock, the two-state solution stands out for its ability to attract supporters from both sides of the ideological divide. But the great irony is that it is one of the most irrational and failed policies the United States has ever adopted.
Between 1970 and 2013, the United States presented nine different peace plans for Israel and the Palestinians, and for the past twenty years, the two state solution has been the centerpiece of U.S. Middle East policy. But despite this laser focus, American efforts to implement a two-state peace deal have failed—and with each new attempt, the Middle East has become less stable, more violent, more radicalized, and more inimical to democratic values and interests.
In The Israeli Solution, Caroline Glick, senior contributing editor to the Jerusalem Post, examines the history and misconceptions behind the two-state policy, most notably:
- The huge errors made in counting the actual numbers of Jews and Arabs in the region. The 1997 Palestinian Census, upon which most two-state policy is based, wildly exaggerated the numbers of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza.
- Neglect of the long history of Palestinian anti-Semitism, refusal to negotiate in good faith, terrorism, and denial of Israel’s right to exist.
- Disregard for Israel’s stronger claims to territorial sovereignty under international law, as well as the long history of Jewish presence in the region.
- Indifference to polling data that shows the Palestinian people admire Israeli society and governance. Despite a half-century of domestic and international terrorism, anti-semitism, and military attacks from regional neighbors who reject its right to exist, Israel has thrived as the Middle East’s lone democracy.
After a century spent chasing a two-state policy that hasn’t brought the Israelis and Palestinians any closer to peace, The Israeli Solution offers an alternative path to stability in the Middle East based on Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
Well, go get it.
Maybe you'll see some Christian news on it.
Delerium tremens let up enough that you can type inanities?
There is and never will be a “solution”. If the power equation were reversed for just 24 hours every Jew in Israel would be dead, murdered just for the crime of being Jewish.
Sorry. It will never change. The so-called palestinians want blood, they seek it with an ever-increasing ferocity. They will never stop.
God holds the trump card. The Jews will never again be uprooted from God’s land.
You can look it up.
Or not.
I would not want to be on the wrong side of this issue.
May God bless and protect His chosen people, now and forever and ever. And He will. Much blood and destruction will occur. He said as much. But in the end all people will come to worship in Jerusalem and the Satanic Allah will not be the object of their devotion.
Oh, my.. aren’t you a mean old thing!
Saying mean things like that, being such a prick...
Have you ever posted a thread about Presbyterians? Catholics?
Baptists? No? Why not? You only post Jewish stuff? Really?
So you get mad when it is pointed out that you are anti-Christian?
List your pro-Christian threads.
You only post your personal screeds?
“You only post your personal screeds?”
It would appear not.

OK, you despise Caroline Glick, I get that, but what on earth is anti-Christian about liking Latma TV?
I've seen her name as the author of articles but don't know squat about her but that.
what on earth is anti-Christian about liking Latma TV?
Never heard of that mess at all.
Point is, the poster only posts Jewish threads.
Never Christian threads. What am I to assume from that?
That somebody has a problem with Christianity maybe?
Latva TV was a project of Caroline Glick. I'm sure you can find her stuff on youtube. Very funny, some threads here when it was active.
Everyone has their interests. Over the years, every time I see your name, I know your primary interest seems best described as “being a jerk.”
Ah. So you're posting about something you don't like.
Also throwing in a bit of juvenile name-calling. Well played.
So.. my having posted a question about something is bad.. but you posting an insult is just fine.
Gotcha. Makes perfect sense.
If someone can be pro-Jewish, why then is a pro-Christian a Nazi, as you just implied?
Why is that, hmmm?
You are not only against Christ, but you also seem to fail in understanding humor.
Total win for you.
So explain why you hate Christ so much.
I thought we welcomed both Christians and Jews here..
