[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for responding. I believe that most Israelis do believe in a two state solution.[/quote]
Yes, but what two-state solution? Israelis have been made to believe they can have calm and peace without paying the price - namely, relinquishing grabbed lands, giving up illegally seized water resources and generally living in much more cramped quarters.  Israel wants a "two-state solution" without giving up settlements, Jerusalem, right of return, a contiguous Palestine state etc.  The two-state solution on the table was a bantustan with no real sovereignty but now Palestinians are bad guys for rejecting it?[/quote]
perhaps Israel does not want a 2 state solution or peace. Current situation is unsustainable in the long term, but when people feel threatened they unite and nobody dares criticize the government. And America will just increase funding. What is there to loose?[/quote]
The actual tragedy is that the current situation is infinitely sustainable in the shortish to medium term, within the lifespan of one person, and most people are incapable of thinking beyond that.  Israel gets to keep everything it wants to keep, and use inevitable flares of violence to yell See! They are terrorists! We were right! Palestinians, on the other hand, seem to not have good leaders and relationships to advocate for their benefit within the frame of what is possible and achievable.

So, status quo states. Palestinians are oppressed. Israelis grow harder and harder. Every few years a thousand Palestinians and a handful of Israelis will get killed. [/quote]
