Jeopardy Speech: American Administrations and West Bank

jeopardy speech: Secretary of State John Kerry attempted some very public CPR in his impassioned address last week, explaining why the Obama administration refused on Dec. 23 to veto a United Nations resolution condemning the proliferation of Israeli settlements that place the two-state solution in jeopardy, according to Hamilton Spectator. Kerry's speech was an excellent primer for why the only other option a one-state solution is a recipe for endless misery. But that doesn't mean it can't be saved. Israel would carve what it wants from the West Bank and perpetually occupy or isolate the remainder and Gaza. For the past 17 years, three successive American administrations have tried to achieve the grand-slam of a Middle East agreement, each failing. Palestinians in the annexed territory would either have to be granted full Israeli citizenship adding their embittered population to a growing Arab-Israeli society that would someday outnumber and outvote their Jewish counterparts or be relegated second-class citizens.
