Israeli Territory vs Palestinian Territory

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinions/a-two-state-solution-is-best-for-everyone/2016/12/31/20ec9648-cecb-11e6-a87f-b917067331bb_story.html?client=safari

In the above link from the WaPo, Brent Scowwcroft and Thomas Pickering argue for the two-state solution. If one wonders what the future would look like, one only need look at territory currently held by Israel compared to that under Palestinian control. Despite billions of US dollars that have poured into Palestine, those areas are still a filthy, undeveloped, "Appalachia" in the Middle East. In contrast, the Israeli controlled land is clean, irrigated, and productive.

I guarantee the pre-1967 borders won't satisfy the Palestinians and won't lead to peace in the Middle East. Hope and well wishes aren't enough.
