As fate would have it, in order to halt the discussion over the justification for Israel’s right to exist, Israel has to approach the dustbin of history and pull out the “occupation,” the “two-state solution,” “peace in exchange for territories” – all those terms his royal genius threw away in his megalomaniac hubris.

This is necessary not just for getting rid of Netanyahu, but in order to overcome Hamas. We will need to pursue the two-state option in order to obtain the support of the world, mainly of the United States.

Actually there are several. For me seeing an article like that from the side of the settler-colonials gives me hope. The apartheid in South Africa wouldn’t have been abolished without the consent of the the colonizers.
