The official 'moderate' position is to support something called 'the two-state solution', perhaps the stupidest and most obviously disastrous plan for deadly chaos ever devised by a human mind.
This scheme would create a sovereign Arab state smack next to Israel, its capital, its most populous regions and its only international airport.
Nothing would divide the two except a fence and a ploughed strip a few yards wide, impossible to patrol effectively and, of course, no barrier to rockets. What if such a state were taken over (which it very easily could be) by Hamas or some similar faction?
The revolting pogrom near Gaza last October is now alas largely forgotten, thanks to Benjamin Netanyahu's attempt to flatten Gaza. But I remember it. And I would not advocate a 'solution' that made it not just possible but easy to repeat it, dozens of times a year. Peter Hitchens. MOS.
