History does not come neatly packaged into distinct periods, but by imposing such a structure upon it, we can sometimes gain clarity without doing too much violence to the facts. One such period was initiated with the Second World War, a new phase in world affairs in which “the United States was the hegemonic power in a system of world order” (Samuel Huntington). (English)

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)
