| Long abstract | There is a famous Jewish maxim that people tend to look for a lost key where there is light and not where they lost the key. There is a sense that the diplomatic efforts to end the Israel/Palestine conflict were a search for the key where there was light, but not where it was lost. In this chapter, I will attempt to explain why this was a shot in the dark and why it is still going on, despite its obvious failure. In the second part I will suggest a better location for the lost key and a different pathway towards a solution. We need a Palestinian change of mind, and international endorsement and BDS of such a way forward and then we might even succeed with generating a change from within the Jewish society. When all these elements will be in place, there is a hope for the torn country and its people. |
