As support for ‘two-state solution’ grows, what role will China play in Israeli-Palestinian peace process? | SCMP

Short answer to the above question: NONE. There is NO role for China in a "two-state solution". 

Because….

The two-state solution is DEAD. 

The sooner the world comes to terms with this, the sooner we might get to some sort of peace in the Middle East. 

A peace that requires the removal of Hamas. Because Hamas have only one aim: the complete genocide of every Jew in the world. That is no partner for any kind of "two-state solution". They don't want it and never did. 

We must not forget: the two-state solution has been on the table since the 1937 Peel Commission and has been re-offered no less than eight times. Each time, it was the Palestinians that rejected it. 

Pushing for a "two-state solution" is a kind of a weird mantra: that people like China's leadership, feel better repeating. A kind of Buddhist Chant. Nan Wu Ah Mi Tuo Fo. Ohhhmmm….

But: 

It's. Not. Viable. 

There. Is. No. Two-State. Solution. 

Period. 

PS: Famous international affairs "realist" professor John Mearsheimer has been a "long-time advocate" of the two-state solution He now says it is not viable. It's done. We have to move on.
