Thoughts about a nearly lost dream

If, in some time in the future Israel will exist in more or less the '67 borders, flourishing and in peace with its also flourishing neighbors, it may not be because of those who advocate it right now, but more as a result of blind and contradicting forces, each of them opposed to the two-state solution for different reasons, but nevertheless contributing to it.

-Netanyahu - for his NOs, thus playing into the hands of the Palestinian drive for UN statehood recognition.

-The refugees, by challenging in big numbers the borders - forcing Israel to withdraw to internationally recognized borders.

-The Knesset members proposing ever more racist bills - for alienating American Jews from AIPAC.

-The One Staters - for waking up the sleepy two-staters
