Yaron Brook, PhD Biography
- Title:
- President and Executive Director of the Ayn Rand Institute
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Is a Two-State Solution (Israel and Palestine) an Acceptable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?"
- Reasoning:
-
“There are two possibilities in my view to resolve this. One is for them [Palestinians] to become -long term- Israeli citizens and have one country that goes from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean …the other solution is to have a Palestinian state, but I think that requires a completely different [Palestinian] leadership that respects freedom …individual rights …and the right of Israel to exist.”
