The settlements will have to go sooner than later. Even Moshe Arens, in his "four solutions" he offers, (see his op-ed) states it. That`s an unavoidable thing, and the US Adminsitration is just pointing out to it naturally and healthily.
Israel, on the other hand, while it clumsily sinks with its settlements, has a truth Obama`s administration isn`t yet able to see in its eye: Hamastan and Fatahstan riddled with and coopted by Iranian-sponsored terrorism and hatred, renders a Palestinian state a non-starter. It is impossible now. And every evacuated settlement, as reasonable as it appears, opens the door to Iran`s proxies andother sunni Jihadist terrorists bent on destroying Israel.
So what happens is the two sides have a part of a larger truth that seems at the moment irreconcilable. Eventually, both sides of it will yiled a synthesis and an idea. But that requires some time. And in the meantime, the strained relationship may become a gap where others want to put a wedge. |
