So what, really, are Israel’s options? I mean the total set of options, including bad ideas.

- Genocide (not good)
- Two-state, possibly followed by genocide (also not good)
- Continued brinkmanship (the default)
- Moving Israel out of the ME (I don’t see this one flying with anyone, and to where?)
- Forcibly moving the Palestinians somewhere else (also not going to fly)
- ??

I can’t think of a single option that wouldn’t result in a worse situation than currently exists. Then again, this isn’t an area I know a hell of alot about, and I freely admit that.
