But the folly of pursuing diplomacy with a "community" devoted to genocide can surely come to an end. Israel needs to stop treating wtih anyone concerning the Palestinians. Even, perhaps most importantly and especially, the United States. The record can’t be corrected, at least not short term.

Israel needs to stop treating wtih anyone concerning the Palestinians.

Even, perhaps most importantly and especially, the United States.

Wish it weren't so. I think that a two-state solution would have some promise. And it would certainly put the problem of the Arabs of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza on a doorstep where it properly belongs.

How much clearer can the Arab states, with the exception of Jordan: they don't want the Palestinians, they detest the Palestinians, they care about the Palestinians only as a stick to beat Israel. If the Palestinians came around to this realization a peace process might start getting somewhere. It could happen, but I say "could happen" in the sense that it "could happen" that Lucy Lawless is about to ring my doorbell.
