The End of a Viable Palestinian State by Jeff Halper

The fatal flaw in most analyses of the Israel-Palestine conflict is the assumption that if the Palestinians can just get a state of their own, then all will be fine. A state on all the Occupied Territories (UN Resolution 242), on most of the Occupied Territories (Oslo and the Road Map to the Geneva Initiative), on even half the Occupied Territories (Sharon's notion)--it doesn't matter. Once there's a Palestinian state the conflict is over and we can all move on to the next item on the agenda.
