The cartoon is taken from MRZine: "As the driver of the "settlement" bulldozer removes the ground beneath his feet while blowing "two-state solution" soap bubbles, Mahmoud Abbas daydreams about a "sovereign Palestinian state." Fahd Bahady is a Syrian cartoonist. The text above is an interpretation of the cartoon by Yoshie Furuhashi."
I also liked the analogy by Avi Shlaim about the reality of "peace talks": It is like "two men negotiating the division of a pizza with one of them continuing to swallow chunks of it."
On how unrealistic (and increasingly out-dated) this solution is, see: How Realistic is the Two-State Solution at http://islamicinsights.com/news/international-news/how-realistic-is-the-two-state-solution.html
Also see Joseph Massad's excellent piece, How surrendering Palestinian rights became the language of "peace" at http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article11034.shtml
