The massacre of October 7th and the ensuing war on the Gaza strip have, according to some, put the final nail in the coffin of the two-state solution. Hamas, a terrorist organisation democratically elected by the Gazan people, has shown itself unsuitable to govern. Meanwhile, polls show that both the people of Gaza and of the West Bank would elect Hamas if elections would now be held. Evidently, the conflict has radicalised Palestinians to such an extent that they are currently unsuitable to elect their own government. Thus far, Palestinian self-determination, in the form of democracy, has been a disaster for both Israelis and Palestinians themselves.
Compelling argument. I look forward to your book.
