John Mearsheimer On - Future of Palestine is about the relationship between Israel and occupied Land

Dr. John Mearsheimer is a controversial figure in political science and international relations theory, known for his work on the special relationship with Israel and the Israel lobby. The future of Palestine is about the relationship between Israel and the occupied territories, as well as the future of the people who live there. Israel is not going to allow the Palestinians to have a viable state of their own in Gaza and the West Bank, making the two-state solution a fantasy. The future of Palestine would involve creating a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the new Palestinian state. The scale of expulsion would have to be even greater this time, as there are about 5.5 million Palestinians living between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Palestinians are unlikely to get their own state and may end up living in an apartheid state dominated by Israeli Jews. Huge infrastructure of connector and bypass roads, not to mention settlements, would have to be removed to create a Palestinian state. 2. 54% of the settlers do not recognize the government's authority to evacuate settlements and 36% said they would not accept it even if there was a referendum sanctioning withdrawal. #johnmearsheimer #noamchomsky #NormanFinkelstein
