| Zusammenfassung: | Early United Nations plans for a two-state solution in the Middle East to the present have come up against immovable obstacles. Now that the cold war is over there have been renewed hopes for peace. Kaplan argues that the theory, supported by professors Mearsheimer and Walt, that the Jewish lobby in the United States is the main obstacle to a peace settlement is wrong and sidetracks people from the real issues of security and infrastructure of a peaceful Palestinian state. The Middle East conflict is also rooted in religious and ethnic exclusivism. Jews and Christians are not equals in Arab and Moslem countries. Palestinians are not equals in Israel. Although a secular state should be the hoped-for end to such discriminations, the conditions of the contemporary Middle East do not yet permit this. |
