A two state solution?

It's rare that I see something this courageous on mainstream tv, but the folks at 60 minutes pulled it off. After the Gaza invasion I noticed a lot of people who hadn't harbored strong opinions either way about the Israel/Palestine dialectic expressing revulsion at what was occurring, and I think this refreshingly honest news segment reflects that. What is going on in the occupied territories is wrong, it needs no mitigating addendum. As someone who deeply cares for peace, both for Israelis and Palestinians, I think it is high time for us to get honest and start discussing uncomfortable topics. Dogmatically held corners of real estate, both ideological and geographical, tend to be more like quick sand.
