In #TheGuardian: "Israeli settlements stand in the way of peace. Biden can defund them all"
Interesting idea! The Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are so extensive I'd pretty much given up hope they could be dismantled (unlike the much smaller ones in Gaza that were withdrawn in 2005). With the those in place, a viable two-state solution seems like a non-starter. But maybe this move could be a path forward if Biden has the courage to act on it?
FWIW, I'd be fine if people realize that the two-state solution is not viable once they start trying to implement it (mainly, if the settlements can't be moved), but only if that means we end up with a non-sectarian one-state solution where everyone has equal citizenship, equal freedom of movement, and equal protection under the law.
