The basic trouble with the two-state solution is that the Palestinians themselves do not want it. Hamas says so, Hizbullah says so, and Arafat says so in Arabic as if no one could translate.

I'm increasingly convinced that this misreading is one of the critical mistakes. No one actually knows the answer to the question, how would the Palestinians react to a two state solution, until it's tried, seriously. My own guess is that the sigh of relief extending throughout much of the ME would be so large, given enough time to take hold seriously, that the one's who didn't accept it would be very, very few. Some still would not. But they would have a much more difficult time gaining support (followers and money) than before.
