there's not going to be a two-state solution in israel. it's not a question of what you like or don't like, it's a question of what's realistic and what isn't.

that said, i'm not shy in pointing out that i don't like ethnic nationalism and i don't like the idea of the nation state and i don't want the world cut up into segregated, ethnic enclaves. however, that's secondary to what the reality on the ground is at this point, which is that israel controls almost all of the west bank, leaving nowhere left to actually put a palestinian state.

i understand that this is hard for people of a certain age, that have been pushing this idea at least since camp david. that was 40 years ago. the facts on the ground have changed, since then.

we can do better than jared kushner, but this is something that's going to require a fresh and new perspective on, and it's inevitably going to come via generational change.

as stated previously, i support a single state with equal rights for everybody. i know this is hard, but it's the only realistic choice in front of us - whether i like it better or not.
