William Pfaff, a columnist for the International Herald Tribune, born 80 years ago in Council Bluffs, living in Paris, offers the now-almost-conventional-wisdom in international circles that Israel has destroyed the future of a Jewish state through its greediness for land. The 2-state solution is over, he says, and Israel/Palestine is now a defacto Jewish/Arab state. I don't think this column appeared in the IHT, just in truthdigg.. I believe that Michael Walzer had a conversation on a related subject with Moshe Halbertal, a philosopher at the Hebrew University, at Yivo last week (can't wait for this to go online). And speaking of Hebrew U, Walt and Mearsheimer are going there next week. I wonder where they are on this idea.
I sure hope '60 Minutes' is shooting B-roll on Mt. Scopus. "The hotly-disputed duo has even taken these ideas to Jerusalem." Who will be the correspondent? Safer, Wallace, or Bob Simon? I mean let's be realistic.
