    At the current time, people speak of “two-state” solutions. I propose instead a “two-star” solution, Two Stars for Peace. When America welcomes Israel and Palestine as the 51st and 52nd states of the union, the age-old dream of peace and prosperity in the land of milk and honey will have been achieved. Wait… what?
