At some point, western countries have to actually believe Netanyahu when he says there is not going to be a Palestinian state. The 2 state solution is dead. Israel has killed it with acts just like this. No amount of farcical recognition of the rump Bantustan in Ramallah is going to undo this.

So it’s a simple matter of recognizing the reality that Israel is either going to be a Jewish state serving the fears of a Jewish diaspora or a democratic republic of the actual people, Arabs, Jews and others, who live under its law. It’s a simple choice, that the Israeli governments of the past twenty years have been etching in blood on the land.
