The "Two-State Solution": Partition or Politicide?
(JNS) Dr. Joel Fishman - The Israeli and Palestinian sides each interpret the term "two-state solution" differently. Most people of good faith believe the phrase refers to the idea of partition. The Palestinian Arabs' objective, however, is to achieve what they call "justice" by means of the "armed struggle." Article 2 1 of the Palestinian National Covenant states: "The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substituting for the total liberation of Palestine." We must listen to them carefully and take their words at face value. The writer is a fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
