Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government unanimously approved a measure declaring that the country outright rejects any attempts by foreign powers to create a Palestinian state after Hamas war, Netanyahu declared.
The idea of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been around for decades, but it is no longer viable. The reality on the ground makes it impossible to create a Palestinian state that would be recognized by Israel and its allies.

Israel recognizes that victory in the war will come through cooperation with American and other international actors but rejects one-sided actions like recognition of a Palestinian state.
The proposed plan includes moves that Israel has previously refused, including evacuation of many West Bank settlements and establishment of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem.

The author of the article is Anders Hagstrom and he has a history of bias against Palestinians. In this article, he presents information that supports Israel's rejection of foreign efforts to create a Palestinian state after Hamas war. The language used in the article also supports this viewpoint by describing Hamas as terrorists and stating that any recognition of a Palestinian state would reward their actions. Additionally, the author cites sources such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement and former U.S Ambassador to Israel David Friedman which further support his bias.

Fallacies

The article discusses the issue of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how it is being discussed by world leaders. The author quotes Khalil Shikaki, who states that most Palestinians are beyond putting their hopes into statements made by foreign leaders, regardless of how friendly they might sound. He also mentions that what they need to see is action on the ground in order for them to believe a viable political process could end the Israeli occupation and give them statehood in their own country. The article discusses how Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza in 1967, annexed East Jerusalem and withdrew its troops from Gaza under Oslo Accords peace agreement. It also mentions that more than 700,000 Jewish settlers live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem on land where Palestinians want to establish a future Palestinian state. The article discusses how Netanyahu's government has been supportive of settlements and offers tax breaks for Jewish settlers to move to the West Bank. It also mentions that Israel is not occupied, because it was not a fully recognized part of a sovereign state before Israel took over in 1967. The article discusses how recent months have seen an increase in settler attacks on Palestinians which has gone largely unpunished by Israeli authorities and this has prompted the US to take a harder stance. It also mentions that Biden issued an executive order imposing sanctions on four settlers accused of directly perpetrating violence or intimidation in the West Bank. The article discusses how South Africa filed a genocide case against Israel at ICJ over Gaza war and this has been seen as a game changer by many Palestinians. It also mentions that states have put curbs on weapons sales to Israel, but Shikaki stated that while these are powerful symbolic moves, the sanctions won't make most Palestinians believe the US is serious about a two-state solution unless the entire state of Israel is sanctioned.

The article discusses the issue of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how it is being discussed by world leaders. However, there is no mention or discussion about what Palestinians want for their future statehood. The author quotes Khalil Shikaki who states that most Palestinians are beyond holding their breath on statements made by foreign leaders and they need to see action on the ground such as an end to Israeli occupation of land in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and West Bank.
The voice of the Palestinian people has been largely missing. Watching world leaders debate their fate, many Palestinians are not holding their breath.

The author has multiple conflicts of interest on the topics provided. The article discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former President Barack Obama's administration's stance on Palestine, which could be seen as a conflict of interest given their political affiliations.
The two-state solution was a popular peace plan that promised to reconcile self-interest and lofty principles. It offered a better way to transcend the contradictions that reality imposed on Israelis by making a Zionist argument for Palestinian statehood.
Israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state in the wake of October 7th massacre, which saw thousands of terrorists break through the border, kill some 1,200 people and kidnap over 250 others.
Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in its use of language and manipulation to present the two-state solution as a viable option for peace when it has been proven time and again that it does not work. The author uses emotional appeals such as 'seduction' to make the idea seem appealing, but fails to provide any evidence or facts supporting this claim.
It would doom the Zionist project
The seduction came from our core Zionist beliefs
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing their own Declaration of Independence as evidence for the two-state solution being internally coherent and validating Israel's right to statehood. This is a false premise as it assumes that the declaration was made with Palestine in mind, which was not the case. The author also uses an informal fallacy by using seductive language such as
The two-state solution would make Israel whole.
It would reconcile liberalism with nationalism.
Bias
(85%)
The article contains several examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians by referring to them as 'Palestinian statehood' and saying it would make Israel whole. They also use the phrase 'another Lebanon', which is a loaded term with negative connotations for many people, implying that partition will lead to war and destruction. The author also uses language that demonizes those who oppose Zionism by referring to them as painting Zionism as colonialist, Judaism as fundamentalist messianistic, the IDF an army of occupation and Israel apartheid state.
It would doom the Zionist project, not save it, while producing much greater misery and more bloodshed for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
The idea of two states was, for many of us, an irresistible form of seduction—a promise that partition could make Israel whole.
The two-state solution is a big step down the road to another Lebanon.
