It’s called a solution, so it must be one, right?
Everyone seems to think that what the Middle East, and the world at large, really needs is the “two-state solution.” Governments and international organizations frequently call for it. The establishment media consistently treats it as a consummation devoutly to be wished. If only the Palestinian Arabs had a state of their own, with a full-fledged government and complete independence from the state of Israel, both sides would lay down their arms, the lion would lie down with the lamb, and the two states, Israel and Palestine, would live side-by-side in peace forever after.
There is more. Read the rest here.

It is dead. All “Palestinians” who are settled in other countries, particularly Arab ones, should get the citizenships of those countries. Beyond that, those still in Judea, Samaria or Gaza have to learn from their Israeli Arab neighbors (the loyal ones, not the Ra’am party ideologs) to be loyal to Jerusalem, and live equally w/ Jews, Christians, Samaritans, Druze, Bahai’i and others. Those who can’t should be expelled to Somalia or Mauritania

No Public Funding for Islam and its Organizations because Islam is fundamentally against the USA Constitution and Western Constitutions! Islam and its Organizations including its Muslim Schools and its Mosques must be banned as illegal for their funding, teaching, and promoting Muslim discrimination, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). Genocidal Allah in Qur’an 8:39 commands, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).
Islam is the deceitful, daily practice of Islamic Law by Muslims, and Allah rewards his Muslim believers, Criminal-Genocidal-Terrorists of Allah, with a Garden Paradise when they kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah as war against the enemies of Allah, the Non-Muslims, using MUSLIM MONEY and MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam, Islamic Law, supreme(Qur’an 2:191, 216; 4:89, 91, 95; 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 48:29; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 47:4; 48:29, etc.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that a two state solution would be doomed to failure, as it has already been tried and tested. What the hell do these people think Gaza was?, well I’ll tell them. For the last 20 years Gaza has been an independent self governing Palestinian state, owned and controlled by the Palestinians, and it failed drastically.

Just a point on misquoting the Bible:
The exact phrase “the lion will lie down with the lamb” is not actually found in the Bible. This saying is a bastardization of the section of the Book of Isaiah, which describes a time of ultimate peace. The actual text in Isaiah 11:6 states:”The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.”A similar verse in Isaiah 65:25 says:”The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The Bible specifically pairs the wolf with the lamb, not the lion with the lamb. Lions and lambs are both mentioned in the Bible, but separately as symbols for Jesus Christ in Revelation 5:5–6 (where Jesus is called both the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” and a “Lamb looking as if it had been slain”). Over time, people blended these powerful animal symbols and the peaceful imagery of Isaiah and misquoted Isaiah as a result.

Yes,, the very title of this is right on the mark which is ” The ‘Two -State Solution ‘ Is no Solution at all.”
For example,even that leftist US President Franklin D. Roosevelt with all liberal socialist ideology still had more common sense and understanding and would have realized that the idea of a “two state solution” is, in reality, is no solution but a recipe for disaster. The reason why this is so is because a “Palestine state” that would be, no doubt, controlled by wicked jihad-minded Muslims with all their Islamic intolerance would only be a set up for a catastrophe in the Middle East.
As President Roosevelt, had so very wisely declared, “No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith.”

Concerning the idea of what some call a “the two state solution.” This subject was explained in a rather clear way in the newspaper with an article which provides information that is in no way outdated . For it applies to September 2026 as when it was first Printed . Its The Epoch Times April 3-9, 2024, A-14. Which informs its reader that ”Before October 7th 2023 there was a de facto three-state solution , given that Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza were all separate states ruled by their own governments, two of which were illegitimate without scheduled elections.
It was not Israel, but the people of Gaza and the West Bank who institutionalized the “river to the sea” agenda of destroying its neighbor.
Israel would have been content to live next to an autonomous Arab Gaza and West Bank that did not seek to destroy Israel in their own ‘one –state solution.
Furthermore, Hamas had proven not only the its words but ,more terrible murderous actions, starting on October 7th, that it wants to completely destroy the State of Israel and even commit genocide worldwide on the Jewish people. That Hamas jihad attack and continued further Islam terror/murder attacks reveals the terrible folly and total lack of wisdom in the very idea of a “two-state solution.”
Walter Sieruk says
A so called “two -state solution” is in reality ,no solution at all . It would never work.
For example, Hamas had proven that, not only the its words but ,more terrible murderous actions, starting on October 7th, that it wants to completely destroy the State of Israel and even commit genocide worldwide on the Jewish people. That Hamas jihad attack and continued further Islam terror/murder attacks reveals the terrible folly and total lack of wisdom in the every idea of a two-state solution.
Therefore, that so called “two state solution” is not really a valid idea and not a genuine solution. It will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.
Thus, a “two state solution” is out of the question. .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
To put all this in another way , October7th with those Hamas Islamic terror murderous jihadist attacks into Israel from Gaza exposes that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel. Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. Therefore, those “peace talks” are a hoax.
For the “Palestinian” leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. This insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad . Such sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocket attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel. For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]
