German president urges two-state solution in Middle East

[AA.TR] The two-state solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, German President Joachim Gauck told visiting Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Monday.
Maybe they could call it East Israel and West Israel. Jerusalem could be in East Israel, but the Paleostinians could own a third of it and build a wall around the rest of it.
Rivlin, an outspoken opponent of the two-state solution, met Gauck on the first day of his official visit to Germany, which marks 50 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
I mean, the idea's worked okay elsewhere, hasn't it?
Gauck reaffirmed Germany’s historical responsibility for Israel due to the Holocaust, but also voiced concern for the deadlock in the Middle East peace process, during a press event at the presidential palace in Berlin.

“When it comes to conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, we continue to believe that a lasting peace can only be possible through a two-state solution,” Gauck said. “We hope that both sides would come closer and recognize the rights of the other. We regret the suspension of talks with the Palestinians.”

#1 Maybe we should try it for Germany again.

#2 I believe you may never have say in what the Israelis do, ever again.

Shove the Palestinians up your immigration system and leave Israel alone.

#3 How about trying a 2 state solution in Syria, Jordan, Iran, Saudi, Yemen, etc. All have large oppressed minorities.

#4 Or, you could stop using Shariah law as a governing value. It's like Nazis running your government, well inspired the Nazis anyways.

#6 LOL love the inline comment

no seriously though that could work

as long as there was a huge electrified wall with a moat under it.

you'd have to come to some arrangement with that stupid al aqsa mosque/temple mount business

you would think with everyone inventing sky daddies they could have the grace to select separate holy rocks

but of course they all want the same one.

maybe someone will have to give that one up.

Or just blow it up before you create the two-state solution so there's nothing to fight over

#7 I favour it too.

The palestains will instantly attack and Isreal can go to a proper war with them.

#9 Israel and Judea. Like the Orange Free State and Transvaal of the past. Judea can be the bad cop and do what has to be done.

#10 Interesting analogy rjschwarz. White South Africans, both English and other, are silently backing off and watching with great enthusiasm as the noble savages have a go at one another. Perhaps a form of Natural Selection was the intended outcome from the start.
