The “peace process” was tried for decades. Time to look at other approaches. Time to really convince the Palestinians that their choices are to either settle down, or face a future that they REALLY will dislike.

Mahmoud Abbas can be uncommonly perceptive. Trying to maintain the Gaza Strip and the West Bank under one governing system is a fool’s errand anyway. A similar problem came up when the Dominion of India was divided into the Republic of India and the federation that made up the Muslim district, Pakistan, which was originally divided into East and West Pakistan. Eventually East Pakistan was reorganized as Bangladesh, under separate governance altogether. West Pakistan was organized largely on the principle of trying to wrest full control of Kashmir from India, and this remains their primary reason for existence even today, otherwise they are just part of - Afghanistan.
