@Obscure_Rebel you reach a very different conclusion from that article than I did. Sure, Britain did a lot of harm with its actions during the Mandate. You, I, and the article agree on that, I think. But the article seems to suggest that the trap was set for the Jewish people not the Palestinian people. In fact it denies the existence of Palestinians. Did I miss something?

@keith

You’re quite right of course!

The reason I quoted the article was to illustrate that the imperialist machinations by Britain, France & others, over Palestine have been ongoing for much longer than most realise!

This, via +972 Magazine brings the two-state solution “trap” into the modern context!

The Oslo trap: How the PLO signed its own death warrant

From asymmetrical concessions to renouncing armed struggle, the fate of the Palestinians was sealed before Arafat and Rabin even shook hands.

Analysis: "Beyond Recognition: Is a Palestinian State even Possible Anymore?"

Recognising a Palestinian state is one thing. But the actual "formation of a future Palestinian state consisting of the West Bank, Gaza Strip & East Jerusalem is far more difficult to achieve."

What & who is recognition for, if Israel cannot be compelled to agree to a two-state solution?
