We fight, We win
The hope of Oslo died years ago. Why is the United States still pushing a two-state solution?
The fires of Kibbutz Be’eri, Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz eviscerated the last vestigial support for a grand bargain with the Palestinians. Decades of terror had already shrunk the peace camp in Israel to a small core of true believers. Last year’s mass anti-judicial overhaul demonstrations made clear that a culture war was far more capable of energizing the Israeli left than the peace movement.
When Hamas burst out of Gaza on Oct. 7, they didn’t just commit the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust. They also triggered a geopolitical earthquake centered on Israel that has roiled the West’s ideological fault lines, buried the Oslo Accords era and left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s post-Oslo program tottering as well.
In Oct. 7’s wake, opposition among Israeli Jews to a Palestinian state rose from 69% to 79%, according to a new survey by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. The poll confirmed that even as the Israeli right has presided over a disaster, Israelis across the political spectrum have become more hawkish. A hostage deal at any cost, not a peace deal at any price, is now the rallying cry of the left.

Palestinian terror should not be rewarded with a state
The very fact that a Palestinian state is on the table at all is testament to the devastating effectiveness of Hamas' attack.
