I don’t think we tried it.
I don’t think one can export democracy at the point of a gun. That was always a nonsensical neocon canard. We invaded Afghanistan because its regime attacked us (Taliban housing AQ). Actually one thing I’ll say is no war in history did more to advance women’s rights. Of course only temporarily as it turns out. We invaded Iraq because of neoconservatism.
This is not a foreign power coming in and imposing a solution. Israel and Palestine are coexisting facts on the ground. Nobody can impose a one or two state solution on them. Obviously after all this time. Nobody’s really trying. It’s up to Israel and Palestine to travel that path together. They came somewhat close a couple of times. Seems further than ever now, but it’s that or never ending conflict.
Bibi’s going for never ending conflict. Hamas too. Neither is pursuing their people’s goals. They are pursuing their own.
