The so-called Vision for Peace unveiled last week in Washington simply confirmed that the US government has publicly adopted the long-running consensus in Israel; that it is entitled to keep permanently the swaths of territory it seized illegally over the past half-century that deny the Palestinians any hope of a state.

Trumps so-called Peace plan is labeled The Deal of the Century because according to Trumps logic it is supposed to offer an even-handed and just solution to one of the worlds most intractable conflicts.

Instead, it does something very different. The Deal of the Century resurrects and restores grand apartheid, a racist political system that should have been left in the dustbins of history.
