Israel/Palestine

The author fails to make his point. While his call to abandon the two state solution is categorical, the argument for it is weak. It is certainly not supported by the study he is quoting from.

For example, his conclusion that "It is clear that the overwhelming fixation of the majority of Arabs...is for the disappearance of Israel" does not hold water. He claims, citing the study, that it is based on "the facts on the ground", but in fact, it's quite the contrary: the study shows between 30 and 35% support for one non-democratic state, both among the Palestinians and the Israelis. This alone puts the author's grasp of the facts on the ground in question. And there are several similar examples that contradict the author's conclusion.

Other than calling for drastic societal changes, without enumerating them or proposing any plans to achieve them, there is nothing in the article that offers an alternative to the two state solution. The article is clear about the failure of what you call "old idealistic solutions", but it doesn't offer anything resembling new non-idealistic ones.
