"They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”
These words were spoken by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in his unprecedented speech last week calling for the end and replacement of Israel’s democratically elected government.
How ironic is it then that the policy Schumer championed so much during his speech is precisely that.
The two reasons Schumer claimed Benjamin Netanyahu can no longer remain the Prime Minister of the State of Israel and must now be considered an “obstacle to peace” are his empowerment of parties to the right of the Likud and his current rejection of the Two-State Solution.
The Two-State Solution has been the policy of the US for decades, implicitly during the 90s and the period of the Oslo Accords, and explicitly since the early 2000s. Schumer, in basing all his hopes for peace on the Two-State Solution, is himself guilty of “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”
The idea of the Two-State Solution dates back to the 1930s and the Peel Commission, whose recommendation that mandatory Palestine be split into an Arab and a Jewish state, with the Jewish state being too small to be viable, was rejected by the Arab side. The 1947 UN Partition Plan, which would have created an Arab state, was similarly rejected by the Arab side even as the Jewish side celebrated it.

Schumer has become a closet Pharisee to God’s Chosen People.
So if not a two state solution, then what?
A single state covering Gaza,West Bank and current Israel with everyone entitled to a vote?
By my standard too
More likely what Israel has suggested, Israeli security control and transition to a second state in a matter of years, not months, when security has been restored and the economy reestablished. Pre Oslo Gaza had one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
If the Palestinians think they’re oppressed now, just wait until a two state solution, which they have emphatically rejected on numerous occasions, is imposed on them!
Correct. Well stated. Kudos.
No, he is just continuing the practice of his hero, Goebbels. Tell a lie often and loud enough and the stupid will not only repeat it, they will accept it.
Typical commie trash approach. But, what can you expect from New York?
