'This is What They Have to Do Now when the World is Exploding?'

In an interview on the i24news network, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu referred Sunday to the anticipated vote in the French parliament on recognizing a Palestinian state:

“Of course I'm worried about this because what they're voting on is Palestine without peace," he said. "That's what the Palestinians want. They want to have a state to continue, not to end the war with Israel, but to continue the war from improved boundaries. That's all they're saying. Look at what has happened. Every time we gave territory to the Palestinians, for example in Gaza, Iran walked in with its Palestinian proxies, fired thousands of rockets on our cities. Does anyone in Paris talk about this? This is what they have to do now when the world is exploding? When Islamist fires are sweeping throughout the Middle East? When every place that we vacate becomes a bastion for militant Islam and for Iran? This is what is going to produce peace?!? To ask Israel to put the suburbs of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in the hands of Islamic militants?

"This is irresponsible. It's not conducive to peace. In fact, it hardens the Palestinian positions because it tells them, you get a state – which will be used to attack Israel – you don't have to give anything.

He added: “I think this is a terribly misguided position....”

Hey. It's France. Surrender first. Write poems later.

Too bad Israel can no longer count the US as a friend, thanks to muzzies in high places.

Netanyahu is going to have to act and act big before it’s too late. If there are no Palestinians, there can be no Palestine.

The concept of Palestine as a country, people, whatever, is a lie.

[a google search brought up the following, I thought it was good. I dont know anything about the rest of the website, so caveat lector]

There Was Never A Country Called Palestine

If you consider Palestine to be a “Sovereign” and “Independent” country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered:

•When was it founded and by whom?
•What were its borders?
•What was its capital?
•Who was the President?
•What was its form of government?
•What were its major cities?
•What constituted the basis of its economy?
•Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat?
•Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
•What was the language of the country of Palestine?
•What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine?
•What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date?
•And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

The game of the PLO using the international community to force Israel to award territory in and around Israel and then using that territory to launch attacks and wage war war on Israel is an official part of the PLO Charter and the strategy is called “The Phased Plan”

So far the Phased is working and events are moving forward according to plan

Just curious. Who exactly is it that is promoting this particular notion?

There are those who believe the Palestinians are a "people" with an ancient history. I would disagree with them in some ways, as the story is a great deal more complex than that, but it certainly has some truth to it.

But I don't know anybody who says they've ever been a sovereign or independent nation-state.
