Israel negotiating a two-state solution
with the Palestinians is about as likely as Elwood P. Dowd working out a rental
agreement his friend “Harvey.” First off Harvey does not exist. He is a figment of Elwood P. Dowd’s
imagination. There is no Palestinian “leader”
for Israel to negotiate a two-state solution with. Abbas is a nobody. Abbas governs nobody. Who the hell is Israel supposed to negotiate
this two-state solution with?
Next, even if Elwood and Harvey came to
an agreement, Harvey would have no means to hold up his end of the bargain. The same is true of Abbas or anyone Israel
may negotiate with. Anyone sitting down to negotiate in good faith
with the Israelis will be treated the same way the Crips and the Bloods treat a
black kid that is good student at his school - they beat the hell out of him.
The Iranians and Hamas are pulling the strings for the Palestinians. Abbas is about as much good to the Israelis as
the 6 foot rabbit is to Elwood. Less
actually because Elwood believes in Harvey.
The Israelis have no such illusion about the worthlessness of Abbas.
Finally,
the last thing the Palestinians should want is a Palestinian state. With statehood comes the responsibility of
being a state. If you or your people
launch rockets on your neighbor, your neighbor can declare war on you and wipe
you out in an all-out war. Hmm. On second thought, maybe we
should advocate for a two-state solution.

From the Griffin...
A few years ago the good old USA taxpayers sent $200M to Palestine to be used to build schools. It was an olive branch to help them educate their people, which leads to jobs, and helps prevent their youth from joining ISIS. Most of it was used to build tunnels into Israel for sneak attacks by Hamas. Not the old style tunnels. These were cement-lined, with lighting and good ventilation, making it easy to transport mortars, food, etc. One-by-one the Israeli's had to find them, destroy them, and usually after they were attacked and some Israeli's killed or taken hostage. The Israeli's could have sent money to the Mexican drug cartels to help them make tunnels and move their drugs into the US. But they did not. And now Washington is cutting a nuke deal with Iran. What could possibly go wrong.
