“And one might also mention a fourth entity—forgotten Jordan, existing in Eastern Palestine and with a 70 percent, majority-Palestinian population, yet almost systematically excluded from the discourse on a “solution” to the “problem.” Could that have something to do with the fact that a solution involving Jordan wouldn’t have to entail the truncation of Israel?”
I think the article misses here. The reason there will be no solution involving Jordan is that Jordan knows the Palestinians are barbarians and wants nothing to do with them. Egypt too. Noone wants Palestinians. So the solution is to feed Israel to them and let them munch on a bunch of Jews for a while. That will keep the Palestinians occupied for a bit.
Beyond the intra-Palestinian problems, of course, the stock phrase "two-state solution" assumes that sufficient amity toward Israel exists among the Palestinians that the "two-state" situation could indeed constitute a "solution" in the near future -- flying in the face of the actual, severe anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic hatred cultivated in both Gaza and the West Bank.
