Trumps Deal of the Century touches upon most of the issues that must be dealt with if one wishes to reach a two-state solution.However, even though the deal speaks of a four-year transition period, it is constructed in such a way that the chances of the proposed process leading up to the establishment of a Palestinian state (according to Netanyahu, a Palestinian state minus) are virtually nil, and the only concrete element is the American explicit approval of an Israeli annexation of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank though it isnt absolutely clear whether these also include illegal settlements (i.e., outposts and settlements that were not approved by the Israeli authorities in advance or ex post facto) or only the settlement blocs over which there is a fairly broad Jewish consensus, and when exactly this annexation is to take place.What do I mean when I say that the deal includes all the elements that must be considered in a two-state solution?

Plymouth, Massachusetts, is gearing up for a big anniversary this year: It was in December 1620 that a group of English Puritans, who came to be known as the Pilgrims, landed on the shore of eastern Massachusetts and began to build a settlement that would eventually help shape some of the basic principles, traditions, and social and legal systems of the future American nation. At least thats how whitewashed history has painted the story. Along the way, some of the events and people of the settlement would become part of American folklore, from the tradition of Thanksgiving and the legend of Plymouth Rock.
