DOA: Two State Solution

As fighting escalates in Gaza and along Israel’s northern border, the U.S. and its Arab partners are working on a blueprint with a firm timeline for establishing a Palestinian state if a ceasefire takes effect. However, that blueprint is a dead on arrival for Israel. In a call with President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically rejected the idea of recognizing a Palestinian state, saying,  “such recognition in the wake of the October 7th massacre would give a huge reward to Hamas for its unprecedented terrorism and would only lead to more and bigger terror attacks on Israel.”

“A Two State Solution” has, in fact, existed since 1948

Messianic Learning Under the terms of the Balfour Declaration, in 1917 the whole world pledged “the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people” consisting of the territory as shown on this map, and mandated the British government to implement this directive.

In 1922, only five years after the Jews had been promised their own homeland, England revoked that promise, dividing “Palestine” into two administrative districts, and allowed the Jews only in the western portion.

In 1937 the Peel Commission recommended permanently dividing the “Jewish homeland” (as defined by the Balfour Declaration) into a Palestinian-Arab State and a Jewish State, with a full 96% of the of the land going to the Arab State. The Arab-Palestinian Mufti (leader) Haj Amin al-Husseini declined to accept any form of recognition of Jewish right to the land, and turned to Adolph Hitler, who promised him the entire land after the Jews had been exterminated.

In 1946, at the end of World War II, the British partitioned “Palestine” and gave the vast majority (approximately 80%) of the of the “Jewish homeland” to the Arab-Palestinians for the establishment of an independent Arab-Palestinian state called Jordan. So Britain succeeded in doing at least a part of what Hitler failed to accomplish.

On November 29, 1947, the United Nations attempted to take approximately half of the remaining portion of the “Jewish homeland” away from the Jewish people and give that to the Arab-Palestinians also. That would have left Israel with only approximately 15% of the area that was originally set aside for their “national homeland.”

Fortunately for tiny Israel, Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini once again rejected the offer on behalf of all Arab-Palestinians, because for the Arab world the only acceptable solution to the “Jewish problem” is the complete extermination of all Jews.

The “Two-State Solution” currently exists, and has existed since 1946. There are two sovereign nations now occupying “the national home for the Jewish people” — the Jewish nation of Israel and the Palestinian-Arab nation of Jordan.

And let us have no more stupid talk about “the West Bank” or “the occupied territories” or the partitioning of the Jewish capital city, Jerusalem. Those geographical areas are Israel, period! Those areas are no more “occupied territories” than is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the State of Texas.

If there is an “Occupied Territory” in the Middle East, it is Jordan who is unlawfully occupying more than 70% of Israel’s homeland and the self-proclaimed “Palestinians” who are unlawfully occupying an additional 10-15% of Israel’s homeland.

The clear solution to the Arab/Israel “crisis” is for those Arabs who wish to live as free Israeli citizens to do so, and for those Arabs who do not wish to be Israeli citizens to move only about 40 miles east of where they now live and become citizens of the Palestinian State of Jordan (which is, in truth, unlawfully occupying Israeli land).  

Seventy percent of its citizens are Palestinians. Jordan is Palestine, de facto and de jure. Nonetheless, those who believed that the sun orbits the earth now say that one Palestinian state is not enough, and because the Palestinians are demanding another one west of the Jordan – if they are granted that state, peace will come to the Middle East.
