You want two states? You get a gold star! But it’s one state right now, folks. A Washington Post piece on a baptismal site for Christians in the Jordan River in the Occupied West Bank quotes only Israelis, Gidon Bromberg, and Eli Dror of "Israel’s Nature and Parks Authority", and generally treats the site as part of Israel:
Israeli authorities vigorously dispute the claims of unhealthful levels of pollution at the sacred bend in the Jordan. They rushed this week to reassure pilgrims about the site, which is a major draw for the more than 2 million Christians who visit Israel each year….
Israel’s Tourism Ministry has invested millions of dollars recently to renovate the site, which is located in an Israeli military zone pocked by mines and traced by barbed wire.
Update: I stated that the piece never mentions the occupation. Wrong. I missed this line; it ain’t much, but apologies to the Post: "In July [the Jordan]… is a slow-moving body of cloudy, greenish water narrowly separating the Israeli-occupied West Bank from Jordan."
