Watching the interview with Alan Hart was quite interesting, as are his articles on the Israel/Palestinian conflict over the years. I agree with his statement that a two state solution is no longer viable. It never was in the beginning. As was the view by the British government in the 1930s, "that it was not possible to create a state within a state", meaning "Israel" within Palestine since Palestine was in fact a state in its own right. Also given the frustration and anger of the Palestinians during this occupation. Which is why the idea of a "one state solution" is not new but a British idea as the end game, which of course frustrated the Zionist movement. Zionism in itself has used and abused the Jewish religion and its followers for its own ends, as has the christian church done the same for the followers of Christianity. Zionism is a political ideology that is not that dissimilar to national socialism of the 1930s in Europe, whereby the ideals of pure race and being chosen are the bulwark of its ideals. Anybody that does not fit into that criteria is to be pushed out of site and mind even out of existence, since their existence is a threat to their ideology. Which is what has happened and continues to happen to the Palestinian people. They are a threat to Zionism, just as those who oppose Zionism. Also the idea of a one state solution is a threat just as a two state solution is a threat. Political leaders of the world are aware of this but pretend to the world this is not so. The so called Middle East quartet is nothing more than a sham and will gain nothing for the Palestinians. It is time for the worlds leaders to stand firm and say enough is enough to Israel. A single state for Palestinians and Jewish settlers must be the end game. If they go on as they do now, then we are heading for a horrific world holocaust.

I agree 2 state solution cant possibly work as Israel has to much advantage over Palestini & the Palestini will continue hating Israeli for that advantage. The only solution is for the Palestini is to accept the Jewish Israel & become Arab Israeli citizens. Once they put down their weapons the healing & assimilating of the 2 people can begin. We must remember that Zionists were the ones that made the creation of the state of Israel a possibility, they created one of the most renowned democracies in the world & give Israeli Arabs more freedom then they would have any were else. We must remember that Palestini were fighting against the creation of the state of Israel for over 60 years & thus for them to have equal rights in Israel without accepting Israel as their home is absurd. The assimilation of the Palestini needs to happen & they need to accept the land that Israel has given them & make the most out of it, because the more they fight the less Israel will be willing to give them in the end.
