Myron & Friends: “Two-State Solution” is GRAVEST Threat that We Face; But Maybe There’s WORSE

#1337 August 30, 2026

Ok, it grieves me that so many American Jews view the fatal-for-Jews “two-state solution” as thinkable. But now roughly half of U.S. Jews under 35 favor replacing Israel with a “binational” Jewish-Palestinian Arab state.  Even worse!  Who do I blame for this?  Not our leaders, Us. What can we do about it?  Openly demonstrate our unequivocal Israel support.

Myron & Friends: “Two-State Solution” is GRAVEST Threat that We Face; But Maybe There’s WORSE

The Threat of “Two-States”

I’ve long thought the GRAVEST threat that we face is the world-demanded “two-state solution” – the ripping from Israel of its heart & soul, historic Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria biblical hill country heartland, rendering our Jewish national home an indefensible Jewishly meaningless Jewish national ghetto.

I totally agree with how Israel National News put it in a headline back on 11/20/25, “Saudis Demand U.S. Commitment to Palestinian State, an Unthinkable Scenario for Israel” [emphasis added a little]

In the face of so many American Jews regarding “two-states” as at least Thinkable, I was relieved and gratified this week to receive from my friend Myron Sugerman, Emailer Extraordinaire, two emails, addressed to me and a few others, evaluating “the two-state solution” as the gravest threat we Jews face:

“My very dear friends Zemer Mizrachi and Ronen Barak, two great guys, Israelis, had coffee with me last week with another dear friend, Mike Indri, former Chief of Police of W. New York, New Jersey. Zemer, a former officer in the IDF (Navy Seals) was emphatic and said that no less dangerous than an Iranian nuclear bomb is a Palestinian state, and maybe even worse than an Iranian nuclear bomb.  Ronen agreed.  Chief of Police Mike understood after Zemer explained, and here is what I thought. My own thought: I might be in favor of a Palestinian state were it to be in Antartica during the snow season….

“Our friend Zemer Mizrahi was emphatic about the danger of the ‘Two State,’ far worse than the Iranian Nuclear Bomb, which we all agree if Trump and the USA is not going to take care of that problem, then Bibi and Israel have to do it.”  [emphasis added]

An EVEN WORSE Threat From AMERICAN Jews

If we’ve learned anything from centuries living in a Europe that refused to accept Jews as Europeans and from dhimmitude in Muslim lands [apartheid, anyone?] we Jews, of all peoples on earth, have to have our homeland that’s Jewish, where we can freely practice who we are, and Ingather our persecuted Exiles.  Even a truncated sovereign Jewish Israel, however vulnerable, would be somewhat able to do that.

But here’s a July (7/14/26) Times of Israel article, Analysis: As two-state hopes fade, more US Jews are open to a one-state future for the Middle East, saying

“A recent poll found that roughly half of American Jews under 35 support resolving the conflict by creating a single binational state spanning Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with a government elected by both Jews and Palestinians….”  [emphasis added]

but that

“the idea remains deeply unpopular among Israelis — most of whom see it as an assault on Zionism, since they believe it would make it all but impossible to preserve the Jewish character of the state, and pose a direct threat to their security given the years of Palestinian attacks.”

Bottom Line

What’s most disheartening is the utter failure of “roughly half of American Jews under 35” to have the least understanding of what Jewish history has been for millennia and is right now in our own time all about – our historic, legal, equitable, indivisible right to our Jewish people’s homeland and our desperate need for its secure sovereign Jewish existence.

Who do I blame for this?  Us, not just our “defense organizations” and “communal leaders,” but all of us grassroots American Jews above age 35. We’ve failed to make the case to our own next generations the justice and necessity of our people’s homeland case.    

What can we do about it?  For starters, demonstrate by example our pride in our peoplehood and its homeland’s justice and necessity by publicly rejecting in the Democratic and Republican parties “the two-state solution” as unthinkable, replacing Israel with a “binational state” as beyond unthinkable, and lies like “apartheid … genocide … occupation … settler-colonialism” etc., etc., as beyond even that.
