“Is the two-state
solution dead?”
The
two-state solution, a perverse euphemism for carving an Islamic terror state
out of the land of Israel and the living flesh of her people, is in trouble.
The solution, which has solved nothing except the shortage of graves in Israel
and Muslim terrorists in the Middle East, is the object of grave concern by
the professionally concerned from Foggy Bottom to Fifth Avenue.
Obama set up his betrayal of Israel at the UN to “save” the two-state
solution from Trump. The media warns that David Friedman, Trump’s pick for
ambassador, is so pro-Israel that he’ll kill the “solution.”
But you can’t kill something that was never alive.
The two-state solution is a zombie. It can’t be dead because it never lived.
It was a rotting shambling corpse of a diplomatic process. If you stood
downwind of the proceedings, it looked alive.
Up close there was only blood and death.
Like the Holy Roman Empire, the two-state solution didn’t solve anything and
it wasn’t in the business of creating two states. Not unless you count a
Hamas state in Gaza and a Fatah state in the West Bank.
What problem was the two-state solution solving?
It wasn’t the problem of terrorism. Turning over land, weapons and power to a
bunch of terrorists made for more terrorism. It’s no coincidence that Islamic
terrorism worldwide shot up around the same time.
The consequences of giving terrorists their own country to play with were as
predictable as taking a power drill to the bottom of a boat or running a
toaster in a bubble bath. The least likely outcome of handing guns to
homicidal sociopaths was peace. The most likely was murder. And that was as
intended.
The problem that the two-state solution was solving was the existence of
Israel; the Jewish Problem.
Spray the two-state solution over an irritating country full of Jews who
managed to survive multiple Muslim genocides. Apply and wait for as long as
it takes until the Jewish Problem is solved again.
The two-state solution didn’t end the violence. It turned it up to eleven. It
didn’t even create a Palestinian state. But it did a moderately decent job of
solving the Jewish Problem by killing Jews.
It killed thousands of them. It filled cemeteries, ethnically cleansed towns
and villages, and brought war to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv for the first time in
a generation. It turned terror from an aberration into a routine. It made
death into a way of life for the Muslim population controlled by the
terrorists and the Jewish population targeted by them. It endangered the existence
of Israel for the first time since 1973.
The two-state solution isn’t dead. It is death.
The “solution” has turned children into orphans and left parents weeping at
the graves of their daughters. It has sown hilltops with dragon’s teeth of
rockets and sent cities fleeing to bomb shelters. It has ushered in an
endless age of wars against terrorists who can’t be utterly defeated because
that would destroy the two-state solution.
And it can’t get any better. Only worse.
Death is the only thing that the two-state solution has ever accomplished.
That’s the only thing that it was meant to accomplish. It’s all that it will
ever accomplish.
The two-state solution
is a zombie. Its existence has no purpose except death. As long as it goes on
moving, it will go on destroying. But, like a zombie, the two-state solution
is weak. It’s a slow and shambling thing. It’s absurdly easy to escape it.
The only way it can catch you is if you let it.
In the nineties, the two-state solution looked like a living thing. There
were negotiations and big plans. There were ceremonies and Nobel prizes being
handed out like party favors. There were equally big bombings and mangled
body parts smeared along sidewalks and storefronts. But it was easier to
listen to another round of peace songs and pay no attention to the ghastly
carnage.
But by the oughts, the Muslim settler population in ’67 Israel, for whose
benefit the two-state solution had been crafted, made the same “democratic”
decision that the Egyptians and other Arab Spring countries would later make.
They chose the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic law that demands that
non-Muslims must surrender and be ruled by Muslims as before. Or be massacred
and subjugated.
And then the zombie solution began to rot from the head.
The two-state solution was kept alive by pretending that Hamas had never won.
An illegal takeover by Fatah, the “good” Islamic terrorists who were willing
to pretend to negotiate in exchange for enough foreign aid from the United
States, led to two Islamic terror states, one in Gaza and one in the West
Bank. These states occasionally tried to form a united government, but
couldn’t even get along with each other. Never mind getting along with
Israel.
The two-state solution had become a ghoulish joke.
Some two-state solutionists urged embracing Hamas. A crazed collection of
leftist activist “Rabbis” even signed a petition calling for outreach to the
Muslim Brotherhood terror state despite a charter which called for
exterminating all the Jews. Kerry aided a Code Pink mission to Hamas.
Most two-state solutionists decided to pretend that nothing had gone wrong.
The zombie solution was in the best of health. Pay no attention to the stench
of decay and the way it keeps trying to eat you.
They wanted to strengthen the “good” Islamic terror state in the West Bank to
discredit the “bad” Islamic terror state in Gaza. Anyone who opposed the
“good” terror state was accused of trying to kill the “two-state solution”
which had already killed more people than the average natural disaster.
But then the “good” terror state stopped even pretending to negotiate.
Since the terrorists wouldn’t negotiate, Obama and Kerry just propped up the
corpse of the two-state solution on their shoulders, Weekend at Bernie’s
style, and tried to pretend it was still alive by negotiating with Israel on
behalf of the terrorists without telling either Israel or the terrorists.
But the “good” terrorists rejected the unsolicited deal that Obama and Kerry
got for them.
Obama and Kerry solved that problem the way that the solutionists had been
solving it for decades. They blamed Israel. The insane logic of the two-state
solution demanded it.
An Islamic terror state is the “solution” offered by the
two-state solution. If you blame the terrorists, you undermine the
credibility of the solution. If you admit the terrorists don’t even want to
negotiate, you kill the two-state solution. And then how will you justify
destroying Israel?
The great two-state solution began incrementally with an autonomous territory
of disarmed terrorists. This fantasy led to a two-state solution of heavily
armed terrorists inside Israel. The next stage is a one-state solution in
which Israel will be forced to take in every single Muslim claiming to be a
refugee.
And you can’t get from one stage to the next without blaming Israel when the
previous stage fails. As it was always intended to. Each planned failure
advances a more extreme incarnation of the “solution”.
All the way up to the final solution.
Each failure has to be blamed on Israel to justify an even more extreme
solution. Each attack on Israel, like Obama’s UN treachery, is justified as a
defense of the two-state solution. As long as the lie that the two-state
solution is a pro-Israel policy lives, it can be weaponized as a pro-Israel
attack on Israel.
In its terminal stage, the solution zombie will kill Israel and then die.
Unless we kill it first.
The two-state solution hasn’t solved anything. It is the problem. And now
it’s time to solve the problem of the two-state solution. Like the rest of
the Jihad, the two-state solution is not a potent threat. It is a lie that we
have become too weak to resist.
Lies die when we see them for what they are.
Like the old Monty Python bit, the two-state solution is a dead parrot. The
shopkeepers of the press who keep trying to sell us its stiff unmoving body
insist that the peace process is just pining for the Norwegian fjords of the
Oslo peace accords. Feed it some more of Israel and it’ll fly back to life.
It’s never worked before, but there’s always an Nth time.
Lies are zombies. They are mimicries of the truth that feed off what we wish
to be true.
The two-state solution is a parasite that thrives by feeding off our hopes
and fears, our optimism on the one hand and our inability to imagine an
alternative on the other. When we see the lie for what it is, when we turn
our hopes and fears to sustaining what we truly care about, then it will
fall.
Real solutions, such as Caroline Glick’s Israeli Solution, already exist.
The two-state solution however never existed. There will only be one state in
Israel. The question is whether it will be a Jewish State or an Islamic
terror state.
