Although nearly everyone favors it, the “two-state solution” is not actually a solution at all. It would only embolden “Palestinian” jihadis to press on in their campaign to destroy Israel utterly.

“US denounces Israel’s push to advance 3,988 West Bank settler homes,” by Tovah Lazaroff, Jerusalem Post, May 6, 2022:
The United States warned that Israel was harming prospects for a two-state solution by pursuing the advancement and approval of plans for 3,988 new West Bank settler homes.
“Israel’s program of expanding settlements deeply damages the prospect for a two-state solution,” Deputy State Department spokesperson Jalina Porter told reporters on Friday.
She spoke hours after Israel announced that its Higher Planning Council for Judea and Samaria would convene this Thursday for the first time since October, when it advanced and approved plans for 3,130 settler homes….
According to N12, the Israeli media reported that the US had specifically asked Israel not to advance the plans with the White House, which sent a message to this effect to Israeli officials.
The White House message was conveyed in talks between at least three different American parties and senior Israeli officials in Israel. According to one source speaking with N12, the White House even conditioned President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel next month on the issue of plans for the 3,988 homes.
Porter told reporters that the Biden administration “strongly opposes the expansion of settlements, which exacerbates tensions and undermines trust between the parties.”
When asked about whether advancing the plans would impact Biden’s upcoming visit, Porter said, “I have nothing to comment about the president’s upcoming trip.”
The Biden Administration has been clear about its opposition to settlement activity, with US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides calling such construction “stupid.” He believes that it will harm the two-state solution that was spoken of at a virtual event with the left-wing Israeli group Peace Now. However, both the Biden administration and Nides have been very supportive of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his coalition, which is made up of parties from the Left, Center and Right of the political map….

Stop being nice. Israel is a religious polity. Isreael is sovereign.Deport whomever you want. What are they going to do, curse you? Try to murder you all?
In other words everything would be the same, except your enemies that curse you and try to murder you all have been deported. Go for it.

Pierre Delecto says,
“…everything would be the same, except your enemies that curse you and try to murder you all have been deported.”
I have often thought the same thing.
No matter how well muslims are treated in Israel, a frightening member will still continue to curse – and try to murder Jews.
Yes, Israel:
Deport all muslims – and seal the border.
Wellington says
The two-state solution pushed by America is a stupid solution (take that, Tom Nides) and when pushed by the Islamic world is a vile solution.
Infidel says
The US now has 2 foreign policies – one when Dems are in power, and the other when the GOP is. Countries like Israel, India, Burma and so on would have to navigate accordingly
Wellington says
Agreed, Infidel.
Damn, there was a time when the greatest power in the world, i.e., America, had essentially the same foreign policy, irrespective of party—whether an Eisenhower or a JFK were Chief Executive.
Well, those days are over because one of the two major political parties in contemporary America has lost its aggregate mind on foreign policy, domestic policy or any policy and is now headed by a babbling buffoon who can’t even construct two sentences (even one sentence?) together without making a fool out of himself, per this very day’s news conference where, once again, was revealed how dangerous it is to have a man with a mediocre mind to begin with who now has that same mind with dementia and who is of the fallacious opinion that he is wonderful and has done no wrong.
Oh yeah, as well, per Bidenthink, MAGA folks are all reprehensible, thus going the full nine yards and blaming not only half of conservatives as Hillary Clinton did back in 2016—the “deplorables”— but all of them.
Judge accordingly.

100% true.
Just wondering what JFK would think of today’s Democrat Party.

US: ‘Israel’s program of expanding settlements deeply damages the prospect for a two-state solution’
…………….
There was a time when I thought the “two-state solution” sounded great–of course, at that time I was 17 and knew almost nothing about Islam.
As noted, the “two-state solution”, if adopted, would just serve as a stepping stone for the attempted full destruction of Israel. Note that both Fatah and Hamas have the full destruction of Israel in their charters.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
Most of us here at this website, at one time, thought that a “two-state solution” would be the answer.
But…
Once one learns the truth about islam, the “two-state solution” is total fantasy.
Unbelievably, some of our politicians still champion this idea.
Ergo: they must know nothing regarding the truth about islam.

Spot on, James.
Fitna says
Leave Afghanistan to the Taliban and let them rape and slaughter innocent women. Side with terrorists working to eradicate Israel. Bring over 100,000 Afghanis into the US unvetted.
The Biden admin, making all the wrong moves. The imbeciles who voted for them deserve some credit too.
While they’re at it, to show the Muslim world they really care about them, they should rename their party the Islam Party and introduce Sharia Law.
The Left is going off the rails. They are against Conservatives for their opposition to LGBT, but love Muslims while they hang gays from cranes and punish women for not living in a cloth prison. Maybe the Left will start to love Christians if/when they become as radical as the Muslims. Must be Stockholm Syndrome.
Bennett should tell Biden to FOAD.
Walter Sieruk says
It isn’t exactly a true statement to say that “There are some things wrong with Joe Biden.”
The reason why this is so is because the word “some” would put a limit on the number of things that are wrong with and about creepy old Joe.
Alfredo says
The Biden administration has a great talent for choosing the worst people to lead the country. It seems its policy is designed to undo everything the 45 did at every single opportunity.
As a consequence of been led by a man well past his prime and into clear cognitive decline, and to make matters far worse, surrounded by a bunch of incompetent mediocrities, the US has lost so much prestige.
And now, this same administration is pressuring the Israeli government to not go ahead with its plans? The same old policy of land for peace?Have these people not learned anything after all the failed attempts at swapping land for peace?
All the Palestinians want is to use the US to weaken Israel so they can implement their long standing design, to take over all of the land and to drive the hated Jews into the sea.
Israel must stand firm and say to Biden himself all they way down to his mediocre buffoons, Israel has the right to exist and to do as it sees fit.
Let the hateful neighbors howl all they want. The answer is still NO!
