This is a no win situation for both the Palestinians and Israelis yet it is being approached by each side like there could be a winner. It’s probably about time to bifurcate the path forward and make an all out try for a real peace deal on the West Bank side. Ignore Hamas for now, they will either become irrelevant or otherwise get overthrown once the Gazans realize there is a better way. Of course let’s not underestimate the Palestinians’ collective ability to continue suffering for a lost cause no matter how unrealistic (right of return including having property restored). On the other side, let’s not underestimate the will of the ultra-radical orthodox element that sees virtually the entire West Bank as Jewish Holy Land.

It will always be the Jewish Holy Land.
