THERE WAS this guy who had an earth-shaking invention: an airplane that flies on water.
No more gas. No more pollution. No more astronomical prices. Just fill it up with water, and it will fly to the end of the world.
“Wonderful!” people cried out. “Show us the plans!”
“Plans?” the man said. “I have had the great idea. I leave it to the engineers to work out the technical details.”
The inventors of the “One-State Solution” remind me of this genius. They have a wonderful idea. But there are a few questions left open.
FIRST QUESTION: how can it be achieved?
The obvious answer is: by war.
The Arab world will mobilize its armies. Israel will be conquered. The victors will impose their will.
This may be possible within a few generations. I rather doubt it. In a world of nuclear arms, wars may end with mutual annihilation.
Well, if not war, then “outside pressure”.
