text: Thank you for that link.  It had not previously sunk into my obviously confused brain that Palestine as a "nation", at least the huge West Bank,  is a group of disconnected enclaves.  It appears the only contiguous land in which a state could be formed based on the wishes of a majority of the people is the Gaza Strip.   The Oslo Accords did not make a Palestinian state possible - perhaps it made possible disconnected city states with local popularly elected government - but not a national government.  
  
  I do not see peace coming out of the moves by the Trump Administration - and fear fodder for those prone to violence in a Middle East that is already in turmoil.
