Antony Blinken Calls for 'Two-State' Solution, Can't Remember How Many Times It's Been Offered and Failed

While visiting the super elite and super wealthy group therapy session in Davos on Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken parroted the tried and failed liberal call for a "two-state solution" to give Israel the "genuine peace" they desire while also giving the residents of Gaza and the West Bank the state of Palestine that they want.

Blinken said that Israel cannot achieve the "genuine peace" that comes with a state being surrounded by peaceable neighbors, without ceding more of their territory to people who want nothing to do with peace, but only the destruction of the Jewish state.  By creating the state of Palestine, Israel would be better integrated into the region because of the shift in policy and views of several Arab and Muslim leaders in the world. However, history shows us that a "two-state solution" has been offered to the Palestinian Authority by several nations over the past 70 years eight times: Fahd, Allon, Lieberman, and Trump Peace Plans, along with the Arab Peace, Geneva, Israeli Peace initiatives, and the Palestinian Prisoners' Document. All have failed. 

“The problem is getting from here to there, and of course, it requires very difficult, challenging decisions. It requires a mindset that is open to that perspective,” Blinken said.

The sudden shift in foreign policy relating to the region is due to growing outrage and concern from the left and other ignorant leaders around the country and the world, who are calling for either some form of a cease-fire or an overall cessation of hostilities from Israel. Several world leaders and commentators have accused Israel of committing "genocide," as more reports of civilian casualties in Gaza continue to come out.

His comments came as Iran’s foreign minister graced the same hallways of the glitzy event in the Alpine snows: Hossein Amirabdollahian warned that fighting could intensify in the region if Israel doesn’t end its campaign.

“Today, we are witnessing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, this means that war is ongoing, so there is possibility of extension,“ Amirabdollahian said in a separate Q&A session. He didn’t meet with Blinken.

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, agreed with Blinken's sentiment by saying that the Kingdom would certainly recognize the state of Israel as part of a larger political agreement. However, it comes with the caveat of the creation of a Palestinian state. 

Mohammad Mustafa, chairman of the Palestine Investment Fund, who is possibly going to be involved with the Palestinian Authority in a leadership position, strongly agreed with the "two-state" discussion. He stated that the international community needs to "move fast and boldly to stop this aggression.” However, he followed that up with what doesn't necessarily mean a peaceful existence with Israel.  

“Occupation cannot continue,” he said. “No people will accept to be oppressed the way Palestinian people have been oppressed.”

The statement from Mustafa is a lie by omission, however. When he speaks of only "occupation" and "oppression," if there ever were to be a second state of Palestine, there would be no peace but continued violence because unless the Palestinian Authority changes its charter, which requires the annihilation of Israel, there would never be a change. And when you have people like this in the video who call for continued terrorist attacks on Israel, there will never be a lasting peace.

Secretary of State Blinken's call for the often offered and always rejected plan for the creation of a Palestinian state will go nowhere and rightly so. The people of Gaza who voted for Hamas to govern them will never allow the creation of a Palestinian state either because it will come with the requirement that they not only recognize the state of Israel but that they allow them to peaceably exist. Unless a miracle on the horizon comes to fruition and Hamas unilaterally surrenders and eliminates their weapons and intentions for killing Israelis and destroying Israel, until the rest of the world does the same, there will never be a Palestinian state.
