A recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal by R. James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA, is perhaps the best description that I have seen which concisely summarizes the situation in Israel. Woolsey notes: “The approach Israel is preparing to take in the West Bank was tried in Gaza and has failed utterly… A two-state solution can become a reality when the Palestinians are held to the same standards as Israelis… Until then, three failures in 13 years should permit us to evaluate the wisdom of further concessions.”
