Letter to the I: Israel and Palestine

Donald Trump's decision to allow the US to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has likely put the two-state solution back by many years.  Perhaps at this stage a South African style one-state solution is just as impossible to achieve as a two-state one.  For the post-apartheid project both African and Boer Nationalism had to take a back seat to forge a new nation.  In this nation former enemies were responsible for each other's security.  The problem we face today though is that both Israeli and Palestinian nationalism is rampant and likely uncontainable.
