One message that emerged loudly and clearly from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s UN speech last Friday was that recognition of a Palestinian state by a vast majority of the world’s states is, inter alia, the fruit of antisemitism.
Since the rise of modern Zionism, and the frequently violent conflict between Jews and Arabs over the designated fate of Palestine/the Land of Israel, the two-state solution was one of the possible frameworks proposed.
Over the years, this envisioned keeping the territory united as a single state, partition into two nation states, and including it in some sort of wider regional, federal political structure.
