10. I didn't feel it was pointless

to highlight that the average Palestinian needs clarity and truth about what it is exactly that might be actual circumstances about something with that "two-state" label because, as the opinion writer pointed out, simply drawing borders and declaring that people are now "free" can be way more complicated than that and can sow the future unrest/failure of such a "solution". People in the West are too conditioned to the idea that it is only a matter of borders and not attacking each other. As the writer points out it is way more than that as he points out the nations of Africa have found out and the "independence" granted them may not have been full blown "freedom". So he points out what is what we are going to do here in this new push to establish a country?

I found the perspective on the question of "two-state solution" to be different than what is typically seen in the West and I drew out that part of his piece for discussion of the question he poses. As I noted I felt parts of his piece were needlessly inflammatory and I did so in order to try to focus on the central question.
