Realists say EU membership for Israel and Palestine might bring peace

Another crack in the wall. The European Union should take over the peace process, argue William Nitze and Leon Hadar in the Guardian, because Obama has his hands full, the US has done nothing with the peace process, the lobby has an "unhealthy" role, and Europe has gotten a free ride on responsibility for the problem. If the EU took over, it could offer both Palestine and Israel membership in the European Union in exchange for making peace. Not much discussion here of borders. But an effort to save the two-state solution in a form of historical poetical justice, the authors say, because Europe began the mess. Oh, and a warning that Israel is on the verge of "apartheid" inside ’48 borders.
