This is a dispassionate examination of the viability of the
two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on
the politics of Israel, Palestine and the United States, and
includes case studies from South Africa in Namibia and the Irish
claim to Northern Ireland. The results of Israeli elections from
2001 to 2009 are analysed (with the conclusion that the Likud will
be in any government coalition for at least the midterm future,
giving it a veto over policy). A chapter examining the history and
ideology of the secular right over the last 90 years follows. There
are three chapters of case studies: the Likud withdrawal from the
Sinai in 1979-1982 and from Gaza in 2005, the withdrawal of South
Africa from Namibia in 1988-1989, and the dropping of Ireland's
constitutional claim to Northern Ireland in 1998 under a Fianna
Fail government--the same party that wrote the constitution in
1937. A chapter examines Palestinian politics since the mandatory
era and another chapter, the American-Israeli alliance and American
politics. The conclusion draws lessons from the case studies and
the analysis.
