Israel doesn't want peace either. All they offer are deals that they know are unacceptable. When Palestinians do come to the table, there is always some "attack," similar to how Assad "gassed his own people" as soon as the US announced its withdrawal.

I knew that withdrawing our troops from the base with the Taco Bell was a bad idea.

The “Palestinians” are a made up group used as pawns to garner the destruction of Israel. This is a Muslim play and nothing more.

My view is that this deal is to try to push the narrative that there is no satisfying the Palestinians, and thus the Israeli's will push for full annexation. Annexation will have its own problems, especially 20 years down the road


It makes me think of how slavery shaped southern society in the antebellum period.

Confronted with ugly reality of chattel slavery, some elected to embrace it as a virtue.

Israel will face a similar problem as they annex the West Bank.

The Palestinian cantons will become, even more than they are now, open air prisons. Poor and miserable. Residents will be surrounded by walls, with little to no free movement. Economic opportunities, such as they exist, will be subject to the continuing approval of Jerusalem.

It will be a public spectacle, and a black mark on Israel.

In the face of that, Israelis will search for a moral justification to soothe their conscious. Israel is already a highly racist state, but I suspect they will become even more so.

I don’t understand why Palestinians would accept this deal which leaves them landlocked and cut off from the Jordan River.

Arguably, the Palestinians were never really much of a "people" at all, but they still had a better claim to the land than a bunch of loan shark gangsters from Poland.

Well, they don’t have much leverage. But has anyone seriously believed in the peace process since the middle 90s? The plans have felt like theatre to appease Americans.

Personally, I think any hope for a negotiated peace died with Rabin. He was willing to make painful sacrifices and he had the political stature to make them.

The demographics inside Israel were also more favorable to peace in the early 90s. More European Jews, and fewer Russian jews.

Does anyone have a link to an analysis of how this plan differs from the dozens of two-state proposals that have preceded it? Or why the Palestinians would be more inclined to accept this version?
