The Two-State Solution is Dead - Kfir and Ariel Bibas' Murderers Killed It

The vaunted, ballyhooed "two-state solution" so long touted as the route
to peace in the Middle East is dead. Truth be told, it was never alive
in the first place. The aggressors — Muslim Arabs in Gaza, Syria,
Lebanon, and elsewhere — never had any intention of living peacefully alongside Israel. Their intent was always painfully clear: Every Jew
between "the river and the sea" was to be drowned in a river of blood.

We know this is true because they are continually saying exactly that.

The fact is, the "Palestinians" already had several states. Most
notoriously, in recent years, they've had Gaza, a strip of land along a gorgeous golden-sand beach on the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
The people in Gaza could have followed the example of Dubai and become a tourist mecca (hah), a wealthy, prosperous, beautiful place. Instead,
the people of Gaza elected a cabal of madmen, Hamas, to run the Gaza
Strip, and now all is chaos.

And if the two-state solution wasn't already dead, the murders of Ariel
and Kfir Bibas and their mother would have done it in.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper and Dr. Deborah Soffen of the Simon Weisenthal
Center, in a column at RealClearPolitics, laid this out very plainly.
What's more, they have a notion as to who may be able to bring things
back to some semblance of sanity.

The Bibases have been laid to rest, leaving a husband and father, along
with the entire House of Israel, to mourn. Buried in tiny coffins are
the remains of Kfir, age 9 months, and 4-year-old Ariel, who were
strangled by Hamas. But also buried are any hopes of a two-state
solution. The Palestinian Authority did not order the execution of the
babies, parents, and grandparents on Oct. 7, but it gleefully rewards
every Palestinian who murders or maims Jews with hefty financial bonuses.

Unless and until a different Palestinian leadership emerges, unless and
until generations of Palestinian children are taught by their teachers
to pursue peace and mutual tolerance with their Jewish neighbors, there
will never be a Palestinian ruling entity that could threaten Israelis
again. Never.

This was a beautiful, innocent family. They were kidnapped on Oct 7th by vicious, hate-filled Hamas terrorists. The children were strangled.
Hamas terrorists — this is unpleasant to contemplate, but we must — strangled a 9-month-old infant and a 4-year-old preschooler. What they
did to the children's mother doesn't bear thinking about. And then, when returning the bodies to Israel, they put on an absolutely inhuman
display, celebrating the deaths.

These people — Hamas — have surrendered their humanity.

Rabbi Cooper and Dr. Soffen are turning to an outside source to provide everyone in the region with a fresh start:

For there to be hope for the future, Gaza can no longer serve as a
launching pad of terrorism and missiles against Israel’s heartland.

Palestinians should be offered a path to a dignified, nonviolent future.
It will not be in Gaza. Oct. 7 will never be forgotten, and the crimes
against the Bibas family and thousands of other peaceful Israelis will
neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

President Trump has the right idea. Our democratic allies in London,
Paris, Berlin, and Tokyo should work closely with him to help ensure a
better future for all. The alternatives are too shocking to consider.

Here's the thing: There's a big job to be done before any wholesale reconstruction of Gaza can take place. Israel, as always in that part of
the world, will have to do the heavy lifting.

The terrorists of Hamas have not only surrendered their humanity, but
they have also destroyed any hope of a two-state solution. Gaza, to ever
turn the corner into the peaceful, prosperous place it should have been,
will have to be evacuated and bulldozed. The people — the innocent
people of Gaza, of whom there are some — will have to be removed, and permanently. That will leave the hard core of Hamas hiding in the ruins,
and Israel is more than capable of dealing with them.

President Trump's idea is a solid one and wouldn't necessarily require
American government intervention. Israel can take care of the military
tasks — and reclaim Gaza, make it Israeli territory, and throw those beautiful golden-sand beaches open to be lined with tourist hotels.
Prosperous people are peaceful people.

There will be no peace in that region until Hamas, Hezbollah, and their
ilk are, to put it bluntly, no longer a factor. Any possibility of a
peaceful outcome died with the Bibases.
