Why The 'Two-State' Solution Won't Work

In order to have the two-state solution in the Middle East work, you need two states that agree on a 'two-state' solution.  Yesterday's Power Line reported that:

"Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction will reaffirm its refusal to recognise Israel as a Jewish state at a major congress next week, according to a document obtained by AFP on Saturday.

The congress document also reiterates the refusal of the Palestinian leadership to resume peace talks with Israel as long as it continues building Jewish settlements in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. ...

In the document Fatah underlines "its refusal to recognise Israel as a Jewish state" as demanded by Israel's hardline Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Fatah links this refusal to its determination to protect the right of Palestinian refugees to return to homes they fled at the time of the creation of Israel in 1948."

It should be noted that Arabs are allowed to buy land and settle in Israel, but Israelis are not allowed to buy land or settle in Arab areas.  Since the Arabs are the majority, this makes no logical sense at all.

Fatah is considered a 'moderate' Palestinian group.  If they will not acknowledge Israel's right to exist, how to do we expect to create peace in the region?
