Jewish tail still wagging Uncle Sam's dog

In more hopeful times, it was imagined that a two state solution would eventually unravel the knot of the Israel-Palestine conundrum. Nobel Peace prizes were awarded all round. Alas, the Jewish Supremacist factions were having none of it, and since the first Likud government those factions have been on the rise. You’ll never have two sovereign states existing side-by-side as long as one side imagines God promised them the whole enchilada. While paying lip service to the two-state solution, the West turned a blind eye to Israel’s policy of building facts on the ground that would render a two-state solution impossible. There are now over 600,000 Jewish settlers living on what was to be the sovereign Palestinian state. Then October 7th happened. 10/7. Fifteen times worse than 9/11 according to some hyper-ventilating commentators. The mere fact of its happening revealed that Israel was powerless to protect its own people. The greatest leader since Moses, perpetually distracted by his personal legal challenges, had presided over the greatest security breach in the history of Israel. He immediately proclaimed that “a mighty vengeance” was coming Gaza’s way. On October 9th Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant announced their intention to pursue a policy of inflicting war crimes on Gaza by preventing food, water, fuel, and all other necessaries of life from entering the enclave. More than two weeks on, the war crimes continue unabated. The war crimes are so brazen the entire world has noticed. Most of the world looks to Israel’s chief enabler to do something about it. And that’s why Team Biden has unexpectedly rediscovered that long-lost two-state solution. Frankly, they’re at least 25 years too late. The only viable solution is the one-state solution. One state from the river to the sea. One state with equal rights for all its inhabitants, be they Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. It’s either that, or we continue stumbling towards the abyss.
