60.1.7 Thoughts

I just recently watched Bari Weiss interviewing Einat Wilf and Wilf talks about how leading up to 2000 Camp David there was great enthusiasm from Israel civilians and politicians for a two-state solution and finally having peace. This was crushed once Arafat walked away and the Second Intifada happened. Wilf assumed the Palestinians wanted a state of their own, but after she had to ask herself, “What do the Palestinians want?”

To the credit of the Palestinians, Wilf says, they always told people what they wanted. “Free from the river to the sea.” She realized that the solution isn’t simple. Palestinians prioritize the Jews not having a state over the Palestinians themselves having a state.

This is a sentiment I think Benny Morris also echos and its very disheartening. You see this reality in all the polling as shown above.
