A decade before the '47 UN Partition Plan, David Ben-Gurion articulated Zionist strategy: "We shall accept a state with fixed boundaries today, but the boundaries of Zionist aspiration are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factors can limit them.

Refereing to the much-luaded 1990 Madrid "Peace Talks", former Israeli PM Yitzhak Shamir boasted to a Hebrew newspaper his strategy was to "drag" negotiations while doubling the number of settlers, more than accomplished with a wink and a nod from Washington.

Trump's vow to move the US embassy to Jerusalem effectively legitimizing the settlements will at least end the farcical charade of Washington claiming to support a two-state solution while funding the settlements that abort it.

But as former Israeli PM Ehud Barak warned, the alternative to a two-state is a one-state solution, inevitably heralding full-blown apartheid or (because of demographics) the end of a Jewish majority.
