Next week marks the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accords, one of the most colossal strategic errors in modern Israel’s history.

In the wake of President Biden's "Two States Solution" utterance in Betlehem today, here is an amazing article by Michael Kuttner you owe yourselves to read. Insightful, brilliant, smart and funny are but a few of the accolades this article clearly deserves.
"...Recently, Ron Lauder, the President of the World Jewish Congress used the general media to propose his “brilliant” solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. Launching a Marshall Plan would be a great opportunity to finally solve the Palestinian problem he proclaimed."
