News recently broke that France has decided to officially recognize Palestinian statehood—a move welcomed by some and ignored by others. The fact of the matter is that there are certain entry-level requirements needed for a group of people to operate as a modern country, and Palestine fails to meet them. Most glaringly, Palestine in its present form consists of several different political entities controlling pockets of territory separated by Israeli-held land. Add to that the almost 100% important dependence for food and energy and we are looking at a state that could only survive by receiving continuous outside support.

And if you are one of those people advocating for a Palestine from the river to the sea, that will not solve anything. As much as people dislike the reality, the only way to begin to solve this decades-long problem is for the two parties to swallow their pride and make uncomfortable concessions.
