Aren't those Americans looking around? Are they stuck inside a time capsule? The "two state for two people" idea could have been suitable before the jihadist Arab collapse around us, but now the situation is different.
After all, the Palestinian Authority chairman has always said "no," and in fact returned to the "three nays" of the Khartoum Resolution: No negotiations with Israel, no recognition and no peace. This is in fact a multi-stage plan: Taking over territory, and continuing the war from there against what is left from Israel under improved conditions.
And nonetheless, the American mediator blames Israel, which is defending itself alone against a Middle East which is more hostile than ever.
Even the chief mediator, John Kerry, is almost completely out of touch with the international reality. This is the way he conducted himself with Syria, with Egypt, with Libya, with Ukraine, with Saudi Arabia, with Iran – he has no problem that the Islamic Republic will continue enriching uranium as part of a permanent agreement as well – and in a variety of other cases.
Kerry is the one who spread the claim that the status quo here cannot continue – although it is the most stable status-quo in the Middle East – and when he saw that his assessment was not fulfilling itself, he went to world leaders and incited against Israel.
The United States is left without a single Arab regime it is close to today, and it is therefore taking its anger out on Israel.
There is a public in Israel which expects the Americans to stand unconditionally by Israel – the only democracy in the Middle East, based on the same values of freedom and justice – and not try to impose moves which will lead to its destruction. And if this is what happens in practice, and Israel's leaders are afraid to say it openly – the public volunteers to do.
