This is Part II of our exploration of the so-called "Middle East Peace Process" and "two state solution" for Israel/Palestine. If you haven't yet listened to Part I, please do so here: https://soundcloud.com/citationsneeded/episode-28-the-asymptotic-two-state-solution-part-i

The idea that there exists an ongoing effort to achieve a “two state solution” in Israel and Palestine - often referred to as The Middle East Peace Process™ - is uniformly taken for granted by American media. 

This "two state solution" is always at different stages of viability, yet never quite works out. Presidents fail to achieve it; Palestinian violence makes it "more difficult"; Israeli settlements are "unhelpful" to it. 
But how honest is this effort? How are nonstop obituaries for a phantom "process" helping to maintain the status quo, or worse? How much does this infinitely regressive effort deliberately mask an ongoing and active policy of ethnic cleansing by the Israelis in the West Bank and Gaza? 

In Part II of this two-part episode, we discuss this "two state" racket with Rebecca Vilkomerson of Jewish Voice for Peace.
