To recognize the reality that my statement merely reflects. The two-state solution is dead, and the sooner America’s top diplomat recognizes it, the better, because that would make it possible to consider an alternative solution that could lead to a real peace

Here's what has me confused. Netanyahu says he still wants a two state solution, except during national elections when he doesn't, and then when he wins he says he really does.

Which one is it?

Is he telling the truth when he says "yes" to the two states? If so, he needs to seriously work with his friends to that end --- even if it means a halt to settlement building.

If Netanyahu comes out and declares a two state solution is "dead" ... and he will continue to build settlements, then he needs to offer an alternative.

The world has been working toward a two-state solution --with Israel's approval and support-- for 50 years. If Israel wants something else ... let's hear the proposal.

Is this unreasonable?

That’s why I want Naftali Bennett for PM. He has articulated an alternative. Bibi really does want a two-state ‘solution,’ and I’m sick of him and the crimes he’s committed in order to forward it, and how he pretends otherwise only when he’s up for reelection.

1. Settlement building does not preclude and never has precluded a two-state delu.. solution. Israel has been quite willing to ethnically cleanse Jews for pieces of paper.
2. Israel is not building any new settlements. Rather, Israelis are building homes in existing ones, renovating or expanding homes, or simply having children.
] 3. The "settlements" include Jewish-owned territory that no Israeli government would give up such as the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.
