WHY THE PEACE PROCESS CAN'T WORK AND SHOULD BE ABANDONNED

Sadly, most people choose their beliefs about how the world works the same way they choose most of their other actions: whatever makes them feel good. Nowhere is this more evident than in the assumptions of the Washington establishment about how to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The core premise of this establishment is that there is a 'peace process' and that if only this process could be gotten right, peace would result.

Unfortunately, this is bald nonsense, and it is only believed because it enables that establishment to stage a pantomime in which it is both the audience and the hero. The myth of the peace process enables the perfumed princes of Pennsylvania Avenue to go to sleep every night confident that they are on the side of justice, reconciliation between peoples, international understanding, anti-terrorism, democracy, fairness, and, no doubt, Fukuyama's End of History, in which they have an enormous emotional and intellectual investment, being devout acolytes in the high church of globalism.

The 2 state solution was tried in 1948. The A-rabs didn’t like it much and decided to attack the Jewish state. The rest is history.

Robert wrote a piece suggesting transfer of the Palestinians as a solution. (I would have posted it years ago, but VDARE is verbotten.) He was banned from the American Conservative for it.

Let Israel expunge all Arabs from their God given Land. Arabs in Gaza go to Egypt. Arabs in West Bank go to Jordan. End of story.
