Since then, every peace breakthrough has been rejected by the Arab Palestinians. Is a two-state solution still viable?

Open and virulent antisemitism and anti-Israel hatred in the Democratic Party, once diminished and kept below the Mason-Dixon Line, is now entrenched in powerful senior posts across the country. The result is official legislative and administrative support for or inaction on BDS and a range of other anti-Israel hate messages coming from top ranks in the Congress, the National Security Council, the State Department, and even the White House.
