What do you think about Middle Eastern relations?

I agree two states is the only realistic way forward, provided it's a genuine Palestinian state. We are in alternative universes -- there's been no settlement because Israel sabotages the negotiations with offers designed to be rejected. The "90%" being just the most recent. The turn toward Hamas was because the PLO could not deliver because Israel wasn't giving. I believe a strong majority of Palestinians would accept a two state solution. In fact, most would be happy to become Israeli citizens it it would just make the war stop. Even Hamas knows Israel is not going away. Clayton Swisher's book _The Truth About Camp David_ gives a 180 degree different interpretation of the negotiations than you are used to. I wish the Israeli majority who wants two states had influence over the people calling the shots.
