There is no "Peace Process," there never was. The Israeli-Palestine issue was intractable when I was in high school in the seventies and it still is. US policy has effectively ended the interstate violence by the peace treaty between Eqypt, Syria, Jordan and Israel in 1979. The American effort to get Saudi Arabia and Israel will complete this project. OK, now what?
None of the Arab states care about the Palestinians. None of them want anything to do with them. Republicans are all in with the hard-line Israelis, Democrats wring their hands, and Progressives say sanctimonious things.
Right now Palestinians are getting slaughtered. Maybe we ask the Israelis to stop that and use what's left of our hegemonic power (while we still have some) to fix the problem? You know, use it before you lose it.
