Two-State Solution?
We keep hearing about the need to create a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Of course we could look at the British/Irish two nation system and have serious questions or look at the Pakistani/Indian conflict and know the concept doesn’t work.
Gaza had an appointed President and elected leaders with a police force [...]

In the last few weeks of meetings between American and Israeli leaders it has been the Israelis that have been told not to worry about [...]
