A decade before the UN partition, David Ben-Gurion articulated Zionist strategy: "We shall accept a state with fixed boundaries today, but the boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external facts can limit them."

Trump's promise to move the US embassy to Jerusalem at least ends the farcical charade of Washington paying lip service to a two-state solution while funding settlements that abort it. But as Ehud Barak warned, the alternative to a two-state is a one-state solution, destined to either apartheid or because of demographics the end of a Jewish state.

And I don't doubt for a minute which Israel will choose.
