AIPAC wants to pretend to support the two-state solution while creating a one-state reality on the ground, and the Republicans want to stop pretending to support the two-state solution while creating a one-state reality on the ground. The outcome is exactly the same either way.

The problem is that Israel can have either the settlements or a Palestinian state, but not both. UNSC resolution reflects this reality as well as the consensus of a world community which favors the creation of a Palestinian state.
