New thinking on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process: towards a hybrid approach. The peace process is currently at an impasse. Bringing the parties together for another intensive effort at reaching a deal will not succeed. New thinking and creative solutions are required. so saith the "experts".
It is not "new thinking" that is needed. It a change in the Palestinian mentality. However, to achieve this lofty goal requires giving a lobotomy to a few million Muslim Arabs - which would entail a whole lot of time and expense with the outcome still very uncertain.
The author Herb London - a no waffle man - once tried to make a couple of previous U.S. presidents understand something fundamental; that the problem wasn't about land, final borders or the status of Jerusalem. Nope.The problem was, and has always been, the inability of the Palestinian Muslims EVER to accept a small Jewish state along side one of their own.
Israel will remain the only democracy in the middle east, perhaps for the rest of the 21st century.
