Not my intent at all. I just don't recall much of that criticism.
History changes. There will be a two state solution. Today there was a group of 90 nations who are going to convene a meeting moving towards that. Head of it is Norway's FM and Saudi FM is backing it. Baseline is the 2002 protocols. So it is a reset Israel agreed to already. Hamas/Fatah fucked it up. Who knows what will happen. In 1939 many dreamed of a Jewish state. Few thought it would happen.
Espen Barth Eide told The Associated Press that “there is a growing consensus in the international community from Western countries, from Arab countries, from the Global South, that we need to establish a Palestinian Authority, a Palestinian government, a Palestinian state — and the Palestinian state has to be recognized.”
Why Norway? (my bold)
Norway is the guarantor of the 1993 Oslo Accords, hailed as a breakthrough in the decades-long conflict between Arabs and Jews, which created the Palestinian Authority and set up self-rule areas in the Palestinian Authority. Eide said more than 30 years later, Israel’s “occupation” is continuing, and there there are no negotiations leading to a final settlement and an independent Palestinian state — which led to Norway’s decision in May to recognize a Palestinian state.
Now, 149 of the U.N.’s 193 member nations have recognized a Palestinian state. Eide urged all countries “to contribute to universal recognition” and strengthen Palestinian institutions so they live up to the expectations of people in the West Bank and are prepared to return to Gaza: “We want one Palestine, not different Palestines,” he said.

Bad analogy? Give me a good one. Only one I can think of is the Greek/Turkish population exchange.
