In keeping up with the current issues in Israel, I have been reading some of Thomas Friedman's recent articles from Israel. I found this one especially interesting:

Here, Friedman writes about the effects of the BDS movement and US Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts to create peace in the region. He writes of the possible outcomes and different solutions for Israel and a proposed Palestinian state.

As I said before, I believe in a two-state solution. In a perfect world, Jews and Palestinian Arabs could live in the region peacefully forever, but sadly, from a realistic viewpoint, that just isn't possible. For peace to be created in the current state of Israel, some concessions will need to be made, likely including the West Bank. I believe in the right for a Jewish state by Jews and for Jews, even one that would occupy the entire region, but in today's world, with modern political issues, a two-state solution is the only solution. Jews can still have their rightful nation for Jews, and Palestine can finally have autonomy, hopefully ending the violence surrounding the region.
