The destruction of Khan al Ahmar and the two-state solution
1. Khan al-Ahmar is a tinyBedouin village of fewer than 200 people, home to once-nomadic families who settled after the Israeli army expelled them from the southern desert seven decades ago.
2. Khan al-Ahmars modest appearance belies its significance to many Palestinians as the keystone of their struggle forstatehood a community whose location is so strategic that, if they were removed, it might crumble hopes for a future country.
3. After years of resistance against Israeli demolition orders that say the makeshift village in the occupiedWest Bank is illegally built, last week brought what appeared to be final preparations for its destruction.
4. The Palestinian government says a forcible transfer of people from their homes by an occupying power is a war crime. And foreign governments warn that Khan al-Ahmars location makes it vital to the moribund two-state solution.
