Two state solution in Israel has many problems

Dear Dr Pipes, 75 years after the two state solution was implemented in historical India so Muslims can grab more land for themselves, the world must see its absurdities. I will cite a few:

1. God did not give Muslims special privileges to establish their theocracies all over the world. If a two state solution is acceptable in Israel, a two state solution must also be acceptable in Mecca and Medina so the old Jewish tribes can live and thrive there.

2. In India some Sikhs fancy the idea of carving a Sikh homeland out of India. They do not have the courage to ask Islamic Pakistan to part with some of Pakistani land for this homeland. So, I stand for today's Palestinian Christians. A two-state formula will not be enough. We need a new nation for Palestinian Christians as well. Not to mention that Turkey and Iraq must carve out a nation for the Yezidi people also.

3. Religion alone is enough to grab land but it is not enough to sustain a nation. Bengali speaking part of Pakistan broke away from Pakistan after a genocidal war in 1970-71. We would need several nations in Israel: for Hebrew speaking Jews, for English speaking Jews, Arabic speaking Muslims, English speaking Muslims, Persian speaking Jews etc. Some of these nations will need to be formed in Iraq and Iran also.

We can go through the trouble of creating so many nations or just admit that selfish Islamic doctrines need serious amendments.
