PM says his opposition to Palestinian statehood has only intensified since Oct. 7 and vows that Israel will ‘maintain full control over all territory west of the Jordan River’
ed note–as always, an aircraft carrier-sized amount of important info that every Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to understand about all of this.
Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, yes, Jews lie, just as we always state on this humble little informational endeavor. And yes, Netanyahu is Jew and a liar par excellence, but that does not mean that in this case he is not telling the truth, because he most certainly is. All that one need do in verifying this for him/herself is to go back and re-read the history of the last 20+ years in establishing the fact that indeed, he has prevented every single attempt, beginning with the 9/11 attacks that occurred just a few days before the little monkey George W. Bush was about to announce his administration’s plans for the creation of a Palestinian state.
But let’s home in on something really, really important about what Netanyahu said, L&G, and in particular the ‘for decades’ thing.
Within that ‘for decades’ span, we have the years 2016-2020 and what was at that time the Presidency of Donald J. Trump.
So, if we take Netanyahu at his word, which is safe to say in this case that we should, what did he do during Trump’s years as POTUS to ‘thwart the creation of a Palestinian State’?
Was it this?
Or this?
Or this?
Or this?
Or this?
Or this?
Or this?
Or this?
OR THIS???
So, then, the operative question that must be asked, considered, and answered, is as follows, ladies and Gentile-men–
WHAT ELSE IS NETANYAHU GOING TO DO IN THE COMING DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, AND YEARS IN ‘THWARTING THE CREATION OF A PALESTINIAN STATE’ AS HE BOASTS HAVING DONE FOR THE LAST 20+ YEARS?
Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said he would introduce legislation to match the cabinet decision rejecting ‘international diktats’ seeking to push Palestinian statehood — boasting of his decades of thwarting any such move.
In a video statement, Netanyahu said Israel has for months resisted international calls to halt the war in Gaza against Hamas but is now facing new pressures, in particular ‘an attempt to force upon us the unilateral establishment of a Palestinian state which will endanger the existence of the State of Israel.’
‘We flat out reject this,’ he said.
After passing unanimously in the cabinet, where he noted ‘different opinions for a permanent arrangement,’ Netanyahu said he was certain the Knesset legislation will receive wide support, ‘showing the world that there is wide agreement in Israel against any efforts to force upon us a Palestinian state.’
The prime minister added that ‘everyone knows that I am the one who for decades blocked the establishment of a Palestinian state’.
His position, he asserted, only strengthened following Hamas’s October 7 massacre, and Netanyahu said that ‘no matter what, Israel will maintain full control over all territory west of the Jordan River,’ including both Gaza and the West Bank.
The text of the premier’s proposal is identical to the motion approved Sunday by the cabinet, which declares unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state ‘would be a massive and unprecedented reward to terrorism and would foil any future peace settlement.’
Israel has pushed back hard against international pressure for progress on a Palestinian state, following recent reports that the US and several Arab partners were preparing a detailed plan for a comprehensive peace deal that includes a ‘firm timeline’ for a Palestinian state.
‘We have never said there should be a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state,’ US Ambassador Jack Lew said Sunday evening at a Jerusalem conference of US Jewish leaders, downplaying talk of such a move by the Biden administration. Instead, he called for an ‘over-the-horizon process that includes a vision for a demilitarized Palestinian state.
‘Now is a moment in time when there is a real possibility that by engaging in normalization and negotiations with Saudi Arabia’ along with reforms in the Palestinian Authority, ‘there can be a demilitarized Palestinian state. But Israel will have to make that choice,’ Lew said.
Netanyahu has in the past spoken out against the creation of a Palestinian state and others have also pushed back against comments from Washington and elsewhere suggesting that talks on ending fighting in Gaza sparked by Hamas’s brutal rampage through southern Israel on October 7 be used to jumpstart long-moribund efforts to reach a two-state solution.
While some international actors believe the violence only underlines the need for a peace deal, Israeli leaders argue the attack highlighted the extreme danger of an autonomous Palestinian entity near its population centers. And amid soaring support for Hamas among Palestinians in the wake of the atrocities, there appears to be little appetite in the Israeli public for peace efforts.
