Debates about possible solutions to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict revolve around two proposals: the “two-state solution” and the “one-state solution,” both of which, we keep being told by wise pundits, are “impossible.” The “Two-State Solution” we are told is impossible because of the “facts on the ground,” namely the large number of Israeli settlements; the networks of Jewish-only roads which connect them; and the wall Israel is continuing to build illegally, all of which have carved the West Bank and East Jerusalem into numerous small enclaves, or “Bantustans,” which can not possibly be woven together to form a viable Palestinian state. The “One-State Solution” we are told is “impossible” because Israel would lose its character as a “Jewish State,” and anyone who dabbles with that idea is considered at best a “security risk” or at worst “an enemy” of the state of Israel and treated as such.
