“There Is No Military Solution to the Gaza Conflict”

A professor of history at the University of California-Los Angeles and author of half a dozen books on the Middle East, including The Israel-Palestine Conflict: One Hundred Years of War,  James Gelvin discusses the continuities in the century-long conflict. He says that the war in Gaza has no military solution and contends that unlikely and far-off as it seems today, a two-state solution offers the only possible resolution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians if there is to be one. He argues students protesting the war in Gaza need to go off-campus and and appeal to trade unions, women’s groups, civic groups, the Democratic Party and U.S. voters if they want to change U.S. policy.
