The State of Israel is preparing for a new diplomatic battle, this time in Paris. In less than a week the Paris International Conference will convene with participation of delegates from 70 countries.
Participants at the conference will call on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to disassociate from Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett due to his opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. The world leaders will call on Israel to endeavor to establish such a state in order to reach an agreement with the Palestinian authority.
The leaders maintain that there is no possibility of implementing such a solution while Naftali Bennett is in the government and will therefore call on Netanyahu to separate from Bennett and join up with more moderate elements.
Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to arrive at the conference and give a speech in which he will stress once again the American vision of how to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It should be noted that Kerry made veiled references to Naftali Bennett three times in his last speech and claimed that he is the member of the Israeli government defying the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Bennett said at the time that "Kerry quoted me three times anonymously in his speech in order to demonstrate that we oppose a Palestinian state."
"So let me state it explicitly:"
"Yes. If it depends on me, we will not establish another terror state in the heart of our country. The citizens of Israel have paid with thousands of victims, tens of thousands of rockets and innumerable condemnations for the utopian idea of a Palestinian state. It's time for a new policy and we will lead the way."

He opposes Jordan, then?
There is already a Pali state. It's called Jordan.
But it’s not terrorist, so what good is that?/French irony
[[”So let me state it explicitly:”
“Yes. If it depends on me, we will not establish another terror state in the heart of our country. The citizens of Israel have paid with thousands of victims, tens of thousands of rockets and innumerable condemnations for the utopian idea of a Palestinian state. It’s time for a new policy and we will lead the way.”
Bennett also told the BBC that Kerry described Jerusalem as ‘occupied territory’. Bennett responded that “one cannot occupy one’s own land. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel for 3,000 years and no UN resolution will change that.”]]
I love the fact that he isn’t a diplomat and has so much backbone. He needs to tell the fruity limp wrist guys in Paris to go suck on a wine cork . It’s about time someone stands up and speaks the truth .
Pot meet Kettle. USA and others interfering with composition of Israel’s government.
Didn’t we just have some Congress critters that said it was an act of war to release true information regarding Hillary’s criminal activity, because it might have influenced the election?
I have had it with these power mad war mongers.
This makes sense, that France would be pro-Muslim.... inasmuch as Paris is largely taken over by them.
[[But its not terrorist, so what good is that?/French irony]]
They love the terrorist so much that they are setting up their own terrorist state in Paris /Eclair (just deserts )
France really needs to be bulldozed.
Turn the entire country into one giant lavender field.
It’s the only way it won’t stink .
Bibi will laugh at them and look to the Jan. 20th inauguration of President Donald J Trump.
The Lefty Euroweenies and Kerry are desperate.
Bibi will wipe the floor with all of them before he is finished his tenure.
Is that not interfering with a nation’s domestic politics?
Yes. And far from the first time. Obozo did everything he could, and was pretty brazenly open about it, in sending people to work to help defeat Netanyahu in his last re-election bid. It didn’t work, of course-I hope that it actually backfired by pizzing off Israelis who might otherwise have not voted for him.
America is allowed. How else can you police the world and keep the forces of imperialism at bay?
It’s time to refocus the debate.
Call for Catalan independence. Call for Basque independence.
Stir the pot a little.
Stir the pot a little.
Splendid idea, but don't forget the Bretons and the Corsicans. Let the French taste some of their own medicine.
Jordan and Egypt must reabsorb the areas. The palestine envisioned otherwise is not sustainable
More to the point, call for an independent Greater Kurdistan, Balluchistan, and while we’re at it, Alawitia, Coptia, and Bethelehem Greater Metro.
Only Ghaza. We’re keeping Judah and Samaria.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Now Kerry wants to tell the Jewish State who can serve in their government.
Why does Israel continue this charade? There will never be a Palestinian state.
Israel will NEVER give back any more conquered territory.
Why pretend?
Move the capital to Jerusalem, kick the Muslims off the temple mount.
Settle any attacks by using tactical nuclear weapons.
Rinse, repeat.
