How many times has a two-state solution concerning Israel and Palestine been pushed? Dozens. Yet Anthony Blinken continues to persist with that failure of an idea.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that Israel cannot achieve “genuine security” without a pathway to a Palestinian state, insisting such a move could help unify the Middle East and isolate Israel’s top rival: Iran.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, Blinken said the view of leaders in the Arab and Muslim world have changed on Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state would help Israel integrate in the region.
“The problem is getting from here to there, and of course, it requires very difficult, challenging decisions. It requires a mindset that is open to that perspective,” Blinken said.
No Anthony, the problem isn’t “getting from here to there.” The problem IS that Palestine has demonstrated time and again, they do not want a two-state solution! Hell, they’ve even flat out said NO on multiple occasions.
It is 103 days since Hamas brutally raped women, and murdered hundreds, 200 Israeli hostages were taken, and Baby Kfir Bibas is, as of yesterday, a one-year old in captivity.

Yet, Anthony Blinken, in spite of the fact that Hamas hideously violated the cease-fire on October 7, 2023 and that Israel’s IDF has uncovered hundreds of miles of tunnels underneath schools and hospitals, still wants a two-state solution.
Here’s how it will be done, instructs Secretary Blinken: “To make this possible, Israel must be a partner to Palestinian leaders who are willing to lead their people in living side by side in peace with Israel and as neighbors. And Israel must stop taking steps that undercut Palestinians’ ability to govern themselves effectively.”
And here comes the crucial part in every Biden administration note on Israeli-Arab relations: “Extremist settler violence carried out with impunity, settlement expansion, demolitions, evictions all make it harder, not easier, for Israel to achieve lasting peace and security.”
In other words, everything is Israel’s fault, even Hamas brutality. It’s Israel’s fault that Hamas has, since October, continually called for Israel’s eradication. It’s Israel’s fault that Hamas own charter pays out millions every year to Palestinians or their families for any Jew attacked or murdered. It’s Israel’s fault that Egypt and even Jordan won’t take in people from Gaza or the West Bank.
The BBC, while ignoring the brutality of Hamas (that even the New York Times admitted to), whines about schools and hospitals.
The official also said it was “fact” that Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups were using medical facilities as bases and that in virtually every hospital IDF soldiers had found “terrorist infrastructure”.
Whatever the veracity of those accusations – and they’ve been regularly challenged by health officials and aid agencies – Gaza’s health system is broken.
It wasn’t Israel that has spent millions of dollars to build tunnels under Gaza and house weapons in the schools and hospitals.
The IDF says it has completed demolishing Hamas's main rocket and weapons manufacturing zone in central Gaza along with a large tunnel network underneath it.

The media along with apologists permeating our political landscape along with colleges and schools has willfully chosen to ignore that reality. Instead, they advocate for a cease-fire that will benefit Hamas.
A public school district in Michigan approved a resolution calling for a bilateral cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war while also encouraging its teachers to discuss the conflict in its classrooms following an emotionally charged meeting Wednesday.
The resolution approved by the Ann Arbor Public Schools board appears to be among the first times that a public school system in the United States has made such a statement on the international conflict.
Given the support by Democrats and leftists, is it any wonder that Blinken plus the Biden Administration is channeling Carter and trying to push a failed idea onto Israel? Can you honestly blame Prime Minister Netanyahu for saying No?
According to Blinken and the political left, it is Netanyahu who is the bad guy for saying NO to a two-state solution. Even Israel’s President Herzog is saying no to the idea. Never mind the growing mountain of evidence that shows Hamas using hospitals, schools, and mosques as military staging sites.

Furthermore, while Blinken, with his blinders firmly in place, pushes that two-state solution that would hand Palestine and the Hamas terrorist organization the keys to everything, the terrorists themselves are continuing their depravity.
"Hamas terrorists beheaded my son and tried to sell his head in Gaza,” revealed David, the father of Adir Tahar, a victim of a brutal terrorist attack on October 7th. He detailed the horrific treatment of his son's body.

Yes, those evil barbarians tried to SELL a slain soldier’s head for $10,000. And THIS is whom Blinken wants to negotiate a solution with??
The BBC points out how the children of Gaza could be the “lost generation” due to Israel’s retaliation. It wasn’t and isn’t Israeli Jews or soldiers who baked children in ovens, beheaded Jews and are trying to sell their remains on the open market. That’s all Hamas. Period.
Blinken was pushing this idea in early 2023 based upon the idea that this would bring “equality” to the region.

After the horrific brutality of the Hamas attacks on October 7th, anyone living in reality would’ve thrown the asinine two-state idea out the window and stomped on it for good measure. Yet the Biden Administration blindly persists in digging all the holes.

Scott says: “On calls for a two-state solution, Sec. of State Blinken tells @GStephanopoulos, “ultimately it is the only way to ensure Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state, and..”.. Nope, total eradication of Gaza would accomplish the goal, without the ongoing attacks against Israel. There will not be peace in the middle east as long as there are adherents to a “religion” founded by a pedophile that seeks to dominate or destroy the rest of the world..
Oldav8r says: If I were Netenyahu, which I’m not, the very LAST people on earth that I would take advice or instructions from is the Biden/Blinken comedy team.
NTSOG says: ” Israel cannot achieve “genuine security” without a pathway to a Palestinian state”
It’s clear that the only ‘pathway’ the Arabs want is over the dead bodies of Jews. Blinken is fence-sitting so he can appear noble and even-handed.
Wfjag says: The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, provided that the Palestine Liberation Organization would transform into the Palestine Authority to govern the West Bank and Gaza and recognize the right of Israel to exist as the Jewish homeland. The Palestine Authority was granted the right to govern (although, pretty much as soon as the IDF withdrew from Gaza, Hamas kicked the PA out. And, the PA has never recognized the legitimacy of Israel or its right to exist.
Tell Blinken and Biden that whoever it is who represents the Palestinians has already rejected the “two state solution” — something even someone who is senile should be able to understand.
Paul Tysinger says: “Solution” is a complete misnomer.So we go to two states,does anyone in their right mind think that will solve anything ? Those fun loving adherents of the religion of love will just come up with another reason to advocate for the destruction of Israel.Here is some advice for Benjamin Netanyahu-Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Cameron says: You can’t share a state with someone whose false god demands your death.
This idea should have been buried five minutes after Henry Kissinger came up with it. Yet another toxic legacy of the Nixon years.

Alex DeWynter says: I see the gEnUiNe SecUrIty Cult is back. I remember them chanting that mantra back in the early aughts when Israel finally got fed up with the constant suicide bombings and built a barrier between themselves and the source of them. “A wall will never work! It won’t bring you gEnUiNe SecUrIty!” “Only we can guide you to gEnUiNe SecUrIty!” “Bow down in the name of gEnUiNe SecUrIty!”
The Palestinian Arabs have spent the past seven decades proving time and time and time again that appeasement. doesn’t. work. If anything, it encourages them. Appeasement didn’t protect Israel against the suicide bombings, the security barrier did that. Appeasement doesn’t protect against the missile attacks, the Iron Dome does that. The Palis are utterly incapable of keeping their genocidal impulses in check on their own. The only way to stop them from acting upon them is to physically prevent them from doing so, whether via passive defenses warding off attacks, or actively crippling their ability to attack at all.
