What would you have had the potential US SOS say?
Seriously. What?
Creating a second state within Israel’s natural boundaries will not lead to peace, but to more war. Since my desire is peace, as it is the desire of all people of good will, I must reject the “two state ‘solution’” as no solution at all, but a continued exacerbation of an old problem with an old and failed prescription. Doctors were prescribing leeches for longer than statesmen have been prescribing the “two state ‘solution,’,” but when the former proved ineffective for restoring their patients’ health, they discarded it for something better. So, too, this so-called solution must be discarded in favor of something that has at least a chance of working, and not such a long record of repeated failure, if we are ever to have peace in the Middle East.
