@Stephen Yearwood, I take the question at the end to be rhetorical? I am afraid I don't understand what you mean by "the flow of events," which you proceed to characterize in your own way. So, rather than engaging with your flow of thinking, I would ask you to shift it to include the Palestinian perspective. The issue is not one or two states; the issue for us is self-determination. Following is a link to an article that analyzes the "flow of events" from a Palestinian point of view: 'The Palestinian Authority has failed to deliver democracy or sovereignty to the Palestinian people. It’s time for a new generation of leaders to deliver accountable governance and freedom.' https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/08/20/palestinians-reclaim-plo-palestinian-authority-democracy/
