The Israel-Palestine "peace process" has been underway for over 40 years. Two generations of Palestinians and Israelis have come of age amid violence, occupation and still-born "peace summits".
End this charade.
The ancient Mediterranean culture of Palestine and the followers of Judaism must find a way to inhabit the country they hold dear through dialogue as equals.
Palestinians and Israelis deserve equal rights in their native land. They deserve security, the right to live where they choose and freedom from fear.
This will come when they live together in peace and heal their wounds. When occupation, unequal laws, violence against civilians and political imprisonment ends.
As a secular, multi-cultural nation, the USA should not support any plan of partition along religious lines.
The fact is that Israel-Palestine is one state and has been for about 47 years. It is a state where fully half of the population is disenfranchised and has limited or no rights.
The "two-state peace process" does not serve the interests of secure a positive future for Israelis and Palestinians. All it does is fuel the careers of the consultants and diplomats involved in it. In Ian Lustick's words:
the “peace process” industry — with its legions of consultants, pundits, academics and journalists — needs a steady supply of readers, listeners and funders who are either desperately worried that this latest round of talks will lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state, or that it will not.
The first widely publicized article about the one-state solution in current times was Tony Judt's article, "Israel: The Alternative"

They all do a better job making the case than I can.
