BBC News: Reviews the failure of the recent peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, the article notes the following, " In many ways, Israelis and Palestinians are further apart than they were when the peace process started. ".
Lets Get Real:
The two State solution is DEAD, it never had a chance, the simple fact is that there are good people on both sides who want a solution, but they tend overlook the political ramifications for both Israel and those that lead the PLO in the West Bank and Gaza. When you get in to the details the best deal that the PLO had was in 2000 under the Clinton Administration, it would have given the PLO a STATE, a real State, but the leadership would not make the compromises need for Israel to go for the idea. Thus time has move on, the idea was noble, but its time has gone, there needs to be new thinking, there is always a solution, it could happen tomorrow or long after this blogger is blogging from on high. It is a age old question, peace or honour, sometimes you can not have both, and in the real world of diplomacy words flatter but if your people are not behind you, then are very much alone and out of office, or even dead in the Middle East.
