Aron Trauring on “Israbluf” and why a two state solution for Israel and Palestine is likely impossible:
In an earlier post I talked about how Sharon’s unilateral withdrawel plan is an example of “Israbluf” – viz. the extraordinary capacity for Israeli governments to say one thing and do the opposite. Meron Benvinisti points out that while Bush and Sharon talk about “two states,” eveything they are doing guarantees that there will be one binational state in Israel/Palestine.
Of course, the demographic dilemma of the one-state solution means that Israel will no longer be a Jewish state.
