7. BRIEFING: THE TWO-STATE DELUSION

   17 september 2026 · 11 min

   Afspelen
   In this briefing I respond to the unrelenting promotion of what I call the "two-state delusion" by the British government and several of its international allies. Lees meer

   I challenge proponents of the moribund two-state "solution" in several ways.

   Poses Four Direct Questions For Them To Answer: Via these I challenge the blatant impracticability, security liabilities, and sheer hypocrisy of the land-for-peace fantasy.

   Western Appeasement: I outline the pandering of international leaders to their domestic agitators by punishing the State of Israel.

   People In Glass Houses: With calls from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to cede from union, I suggest Britains's leadership would do better to get their own house in order before voicing their unwanted counsel to Israel.
