The reigning consensus in elite and academic circles is that the United States must seek to resolve the Palestinians conflict with Israel by implementing the so-called two-state solution. Establishing a Palestinian state  so the thinking goes  would be a panacea for all the regions ills. In a time of partisan gridlock  the two-state solution stands out for its ability to attract supporters from both sides of Americas ideological divide. But the great irony is that it is one of the most irrational and failed policies the United States has ever adopted.  Between 1970 and 2013  the United States presented nine different peace plans for Israel and the Palestinians  and for the past twenty years  the two state solution has been the centerpiece of U.S. Middle East policy. But despite this laser focus  American efforts to implement a two-state peace deal have failedand with each new attempt  the Middle East has become less stable  more violent  more radicalized  and more inimical to democratic values and interests.  In The Israeli Solution  Caroline Glick  senior contributing editor to the Jerusalem Post  examines the history and misconceptions behind the two-state policy  most notably:  - The huge errors made in counting the actual numbers of Jews and Arabs in the region. The 1997 Palestinian Census  upon which most two-state policy is based  wildly exaggerated the numbers of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza.  - Neglect of the long history of Palestinian anti-Semitism  refusal to negotiate in good faith  terrorism  and denial of Israels right to exist.  - Disregard for Israels stronger claims to territorial sovereignty under international law  as well as the long history of Jewish presence in the region.  - Indifference to polling data that shows the Palestinian people admire Israeli society and governance. Despite a half-century of domestic and international terrorism  anti-semitism  and military attacks from regional neighbors who reject its right to exist  Israel has thrived as the Middle Easts lone democracy.  After a century spent chasing a two-state policy that hasnt brought the Israelis and Palestinians any closer to peace  The Israeli Solution offers an alternative path to stability in the Middle East based on Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946233720885,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385348061","price":27.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385348065.jpg?v=1769932350","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-israeli-solution-a-onestate-plan-for-peace-in-the-middle-east","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
