The two-state delusion has been dropped by around 80% of Israeli citizens. It should be dropped by any reasonable leader in the Western world. It is based on nothing but a pipe dream. It has been tried again and again. All it accomplishes is the creation of a terror haven or a mini-terrorist Arab State that is a satellite of a larger terrorist state.
But there is a greater issue at hand. The whole notion of the creation of an Arab State on the ancestral Jewish land called the Land of Israel is absurd from a moral and historical angle. There never has been a separate exclusive Arab entity called “palestinians” until the 1960’s and 1970’s. That is when the idea of destroying Israel via a salami strategy began to take root.
There has indeed been a geographic area that has been called Palestine. But that has never been connected to a separate Arab nation called Palestinians. Actually, if anyone is truly a “palestinian,” it is the Jewish people who used the term “palestine” quite often. The Jerusalem Post, the largest Jewish newspaper, used to be called the Palestine Post before the formation of the State of Israel. It was the British who liberally called the Jewish people Palestinians. Jewish banks were called Banks of Palestine. This had nothing to do with Arabs. It was not a term that referred to an Arab nation at all. That is a modern invention of 50-60 years ago that is based on the great lie of the Jewish people stealing Arab land.
The lie has been spread wide and far, but it doesn’t negate the basic truth that the Land of Israel is the ancestral Land of the Jewish people.
