Dreams of a "Two-State Solution" Verge on the Delusional
(JNS) Gadi Taub - There's no Israeli constituency to speak of for the so-called "two-state solution." The two-state solution died with the collapse of the Oslo framework in the Second Intifada, which began in 2000. Nor is a government ready to return to the two-state track likely to come to power anytime soon. Dreams about it are no more than airy nostalgia and optimism verging on the delusional. The future, alas, belongs to the pessimists, who know that for years to come, we will not be able to let down our guard. Most Israelis feel this in their bones, and are ready for the struggles ahead. In the IDF is a younger cadre of officers who already call themselves the Victory Generation. They are determined to win this war. As are most of us.
