Forget the two-state solution

All that matters are the facts on the ground, of which the most important is that—after four decades of intensive Jewish settlement in the Palestinian territories it occupied during the 1967 war—Israel has irreversibly cemented its grip on the land on which a Palestinian state might have been created.

Sixty years after Israel was created and Palestine was destroyed, then, we are back to where we started: Two populations inhabiting one piece of land. And if the land cannot be divided, it must be shared. Equally.
