Alexander Mercouris has a fairly balanced take, it seems to me. Don’t agree with all he says, will you. After all, he presents in Russia TV. So on Ukraine war you can assume a pro Russian line. In Israel, he’s careful. I don’t agree with his line that Israel “should have tried harder” for the two state solution. He quotes Israeli hard liners who say it’s impossible to do a deal with someone implacably opposed to your very existence which aims to wipe you off the map. Having quoted that very reasonable observation he dismisses it without counter argument. Some measure the efforts to Two State solution at 27. All the Camp David’s, the Oslos, and the in betweens. For Hamas it remains: “Palestine must be free, from the river to the sea”. Genocide, iow.
Still, the urging for Israel not to try to retake Gaza, seems well based. Would likely be a long term quagmire.
PS: I’m not really sure who this guy is. He’s Greek heritage, lives in the U.K.. He’s a lawyer, but disbarred in 2009. Reinventing himself as RT commenter and running the Duran podcast, which I don’t follow. I’m only going on the advice of some people who like his analyses and on what he says here re the Middle East.
