Former Foreign Minister claims widespread Arab anti-Semitism is reason for, not against Israeli concessions and Palestinian statehood.
Former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni (Zionist Camp) offered a novel justification for the two-state solution Wednesday night, suggesting that the frighteningly high levels of anti-Semitism among Palestinian Authority Arabs validated her support for a Palestinian state.
Livni’s comments came during a town hall meeting in Boston on Wednesday night. The event, which drew some 1,000 people, was moderated by Dovid Efune, Editor-in-Chief of Algemeiner.
Despite her ties to the Israeli nationalist camp, Livni has steadily moved towards the left since she entered politics in 1999.
The daughter of Eitan and Sara Livni, prominent members of the Irgun pre-state Jewish underground, Tzipi Livni began her political career in the right-of-center Likud. When Ariel Sharon left the party and founded Kadima, Livni followed. After leading Kadima for four years, Livni founded the HaTnuah party, which merged with the Labor party in 2015 to form the Zionist Camp.
Since the Gaza Disengagement plan of 2005 and her subsequent departure from the Likud, Livni has been a consistent advocate of the two-state solution, arguing that Israel must surrender Judea and Samaria to ensure the country’s survival as a Jewish state.
Hitherto her argument in favor of Palestinian statehood has been couched in terms of demographic issues – specifically, the complexities involved in adding millions of Arabs to the State of Israel.
On Wednesday night, however, Livni offered a new line of reasoning for a Palestinian state: Arab anti-Semitism.

It's a good argument for complete separation. Good argument for not accepting refugees from terror ridden states.
Any leftist politician, who is either insanely-idealistic or who has been beat down by the terrorism.
The Antichrist will bring you your Palestinian statehood, Livni. It will seem to work. Keep selling that “peace and security” lie. It will, however, seem to work.
For 1,260 days.
A Jewish state living side by side with a Palestinian state, in “peace and security” - now just need a political leader to confirm such a deal for about, oh, 7 lunar years, or 2,520 days.
Just imagine if world “leaders” spoke about “peace and security”:
A Jewish state living side by side with a Palestinian state, in “peace and security”
World “leaders” speak about “peace and security”:
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV) - The Day of the Lord
5 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is -—peace and security-—,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.

There are plenty of places they can go and be Jew haters without having to have any part of Israel/Palestine.
The Arabs don’t want a “Palestinian” state because it would require them to renounce their desire for the destruction of Israel.
By the way, there is no such thing as a Palestinian. What has the Israeli concessions done for them so far?
Livni might as well put on a burqa.
given the chance , those islamists idiot Livni supports would stake her out , spreadeagled , in the Negev sand , until the sun baked her and the ants ate her .
Fools ! Any Israelis to trust or side with any Arab . They know not what they do .
On the condition that she move there. Now.
Tzipi Livni needs to put on a straitjacket to go with that burka.
The woman is a teetotal meshugenah! Absolute farkakte!
The “most influential woman in Israel since Golda Meir!!?”
Oy....!
A blast from the past, good old Tzippi Lippi needs to STFU.
Tsipi The Pinhead!
Well, you got two Vietnams living side by side in peace and security...
She means this as opposed to a one-state solution that absorbs the West Bank and Gaza into Israel with Democratic rights in Israel for their inhabitants.
Yes.
I seem to recall someone tried to push unification.
After how many dead? At least 550,000, I think?
That’s true, they’d kill any Jew, though I tend to agree with what I think she’s saying. I’ve stated here for years that Israel should declare and secure her borders, complete whatever security barrier the desire, and sever relations with what I’m sure will be a terror state. If Israel want’s to sell them water and power for a few years till they bring themselves up to speed economically, fine, but not forever in the face of a hostile neighbor. Should they not develop economically, the Euros and US can send in aid thru Egypt and Jordan. The borders and Israel’s population should be defended aggressively. IMO there is no possibility of establishing a peaceful state in the West Bank or Gaza. Maybe a generation. Given that the options are annexation, and a few million dysfunctional Arab citizens, or separation. And time is not on Israel’s side.
not only dangerous, but irrational too
Is she in favor of expelling all the Arabs from Israel?
“The woman is a teetotal meshugenah! Absolute farkakte!”
What’s that in English?
Could whites and blacks here in the US make the same argument for separation of races.
Since blacks are constantly accusing whites of racism and discrimination, (and it’s only getting worse), wouldn’t the best solution be a friendly separation where each race doesn’t have to put up with the other. I would think the blacks would jump at that. They’d have their own country and they could keep evil whitey out.
