The Two State Solution a Long Lost Dream

“The stakes are too high, the pain too deep, and the issues too complex”

This article is one of few that is giving a realistic approach of what is actually going on regarding a peace process between Palestine and Israel. The fact is that Israel will never give up what it has already gained. The settlements and the walls they have built that isolate every village across the West Bank is a clear indication. The ten month settlement freeze was just another act to the international community to distract from other cases Israel was being critiqued of such as the ship raids. It is just another real politik play by Israel.

As for the Palestinians, they are becoming restless, slowly but surely there will come a time that will lead to collision between the two groups…and I doubt there will be enough international power to bring peace in the region once it’s destabilized. As Secretary Hillary Clinton said, “the stakes are too high, the pain too deep, and the issues too complex” and that’s too true. If there is going to be anything serious that the U.S. wants to achieve in that region, it needs to get its act together and seriously push the two groups towards serious things, the same way Kissinger did when he was the secretary of state.
