Ever since the two state solution was first proposed I felt it was a terrible idea that needed to be scrapped immediately. <br /><br />Unfortunately even if the Americans wanted to oppose the two state solution and tried to do so with all their might they would be unable to do so, as the Russians, the nations of the EU, the Arab nations of the Middle East, and pretty much all the nations of the UN support the two state solution. <br /><br />If Israel is going to try and stop the two state solution and they are going to attempt to do so through diplomatic means, it seems to me that they need to do a much better job of engaging the other members of the so called quartet. If Israel can get the EU and Russia to back down from support of the two state solution, it would be possible to kill this horrific idea once and for all. The Americans do not have sufficient power to do this alone. It seems Israeli diplomacy may finally be recognizing this. Frankly I wish we had someone like Mr. Netanyahu as President of the United States!!<br /><br />In the long run the two state solution would be good for no one in America or Western Europe. Israel is the primary buffer between the free world and Islamic terrorists. If Israel is weakened, this makes America and Western Europe harder to defend, as terrorists assets that are currently deployed against Israel would likely be deployed against either Western Europe or the American homeland. <br /><br />If the nations of Western Europe think they can appease their restive Arab population or America thinks it can appease its Arab oil suppliers by undermining Israel, they have another thing coming. Appeasement never works. World War II should have taught us this. Apparently some people never learn.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
