If the US keeps to its rejectionist stand, Israel will continue to integrate the territories, the core local conflict will remain unresolved, turbulence and antagonisms will fester and intermittently explode, and a stable regional settlement — let alone a just one — is most unlikely. Meanwhile, new and more imaginative ways will have to be found to “put the public in its place,” and to deter the dread threat of democracy and freedom. (English)
