The End of Israel's Hobson's Choices..........by Dan Friedman

David Goldman is a very smart fellow. Gets to the bottom of things, sweeps conventional wisdom aside. First man I read who suggested the “Arab Spring” was all about failing economies and the inability of the Arab countries without oil to meet their citizens’ basic needs, in which the “thirst for freedom” comes in a distant second. Here he shreds one of the Israeli Left’s great axioms: the two-state solution is the only way the Jewish state can remain Jewish. Hopefully, he’ll take on the Left’s other bogeyman: the two-state solution is the only way the Jewish state can remain democratic. The sooner he does the better, or I’ll have to do it myself. It’s time Israel took the gloves off along with the handcuffs. df
