This article starts with what the author sees as an inevitability, but goes nowhere. No thoughts about how the divide would happen, along what lines, etc. No comparisons to, say, India, which partitioned Pakistan, or North and South Korea, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, the divisions in Sudan or Rwanda, or any of the other separations in world events.
Not one of those separations was peaceful. Each resulted in conflicts which took the lives of thousands or hundreds of thousands or, in the case of India/Pakistan, millions of people.
