Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
A Palestinian state has never existed during any period in human history. Lets change that.
The United States has spent billions of dollars trying to create a Palestinian state. Its time that we finally got our moneys worth. Weve been putting money in the broken Palestinian slot machine in the metaphorical Palestinian casino (the real one was shot up when terrorists turned it into a base) for decades. Its time to finally get our Palestinian jackpot. But to make it happen, we need to be realistic.
Forget the peace process. Forget negotiations. Theyve never worked before. Theyre not going to now.
And theres nothing to negotiate anyway.
There are almost a million Jews living on territory claimed by the PLO. Removing them would be the single greatest act of ethnic cleansing against an indigenous population today. It would also be impossible. But the same people who insist that the United States, a country of 318 million, cant deport 11 million illegal aliens, think that Israel will somehow deport 1/8th of its own population if they just chant loudly enough about occupation outside Jewish businesses in London or San Francisco.
Ethnically cleansing 8,000 Jews from Gaza/Gush Katif led to nationwide civil disobedience, riots and, eventually, the fall of a political party and three straight terms for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Now imagine trying to deport 800,000 people from their homes simply because theyre Jewish.
And it wouldnt just be the Jews alone being rounded up into trucks, buses and maybe boxcars.
52 percent of Arabs in East Jerusalem would rather be Israeli citizens than live under the PLO. Are we supposed to deport 100,000 Arabs from Jerusalem to make way for this imaginary Palestinian state?
How much ethnic cleansing do we have to do to make the Islamic colonial fantasy of Palestine real?
Its not going to happen.
Lets create a real Palestinian state instead. And I dont mean the PLOs President for Life Mahmoud Abbas going down to the UN to give another speech. Abbas is on his 11th year of a 4-year term. The US spent $4.5 billion promoting Palestinian democracy and the last PLO election was ten years ago.
Hamas won. It would win today all over again.
Current polling shows that 2/3 of Palestinians want Abbas to resign. Abbas has no political authority to form a Palestinian state, a Palestinian shawarma stand or a Palestinian anything.
If theres going to be a Palestinian state, it has to be based on the will of the people. That means it will be a Hamas state. A Palestinian state that is not based on the will of its people has no legitimacy. The only legitimate Palestinian state is therefore a Hamas terror state.
And thats the only kind of state you can have when 2/3 of Palestinians support stabbing Israeli civilians, 89% want to live under an Islamic State run by Sharia law, 84% want to stone adulterers to death and 66% support killing any Muslim who leaves Islam.
Only an Islamic terror state can truly represent the homicidal aspirations of the Palestinian people.
Is this some sort of sick joke? Yes it is. But its not my sick joke. Its the sick joke that is Palestine. Now lets begin the process of turning this sick twisted joke into its own state.
The first thing to do is dismantle the UNRWA, a UN agency specifically dedicated to catering to Palestinians. The UNRWA is one of the key elements of the Palestinian welfare state. And the US kicks in around $300 million to the organization which fulfills many of the functions of a state. But a state doesnt need its own refugee agency. And a Hamas terror state doesnt need a further $350 million dollars in US foreign aid to promote democracy and improve its infrastructure and institutions.
This is going to be a problem because the imaginary Palestinian state also has a fantasy economy. The largest employer in the Palestinian Authority is the Palestinian Authority. Most of its money comes from America, Europe, Israel and, for some inconceivable reason, Japan.
The terror state gets its electricity from Israel. It gets its water and internet through Israel.
So lets get a clear look at what a real Palestinian state would look like. It would be Gaza writ large. But without the UNRWA and the rest of the NGOs lining up to provide jobs and social services. It would be an open air prison, as anti-Israel activists screech of Gaza, but a prison created and maintained by the inmates. It would be constantly at war with Israel and the rest of the world. The way it is now.
The economy will be a thinly disguised feudal system of Islamists with engineering degrees in mansions paying starvation wages to laborers to harvest olives to be shipped to China. There will be shopping malls for some and little shacks on the edges full of smugglers, drug labs and brothels for everyone else.
Thats the Islamist dream.
Palestines political system will consist of Hamas and more Hamas. Or maybe once the Hamas alliance with ISIS in the Sinai lapses, there will finally be a democratic election between Hamas and ISIS to decide just how horrible of a place the misshapen slices of Gaza and the West Bank under terrorist occupation will become. Nothing will function except the religious police and the gallows in the dusty squares.
There will be wars every two years. That will be just long enough to rebuild the hospitals, mosques and schools that were being used as launch sites in the last wars. In between the big wars, the terrorist groups, Hamas factions, ISIS, Islamic Jihad and anybody else, will fight each other in the streets.
It will be glorious.
Imagine the last few decades of terror, bombings, missile strikes, firefights, corruption, thievery and utter dysfunction made into a permanent state of affairs. Thats Palestine. Thats the two-state solution. Just dont ask what it solves except the Middle Easts severe shortage of terrorist states and terrorists.
If you will it, it is no dream. This nightmare already exists and it can be a real country. It already has an anthem, a flag, no elections and no reason to exist except killing everyone else. Its a foreign aid funded ISIS with more olive harvests and a more robust campus presence.
Everyone talks about creating a Palestinian state, but no one actually wants to do it.
Its time for Palestine to stop being a pipe dream full of pipe bombs that we spend billions of dollars on. Just pull out a seat at the UN, hold democratic elections and then step away from the explosions.
A real two-state solution is just that simple. And it can happen tomorrow.
Lets stop fantasizing about peace. Peace and Palestine go together like oil and water. This is what a real Palestinian state would look like. And the moment it comes into being, any possibility of peace dies.

How A Two State Solution Fulfills End Times Bible Prophecy
It Is God’s Land, and It Will Not Be Divided
“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121:4
Whose land? Everywhere in the news today we read about the coming ‘two-state’ solution for peace in the Middle East. It is something that the Obama administration is pushing as hard as they possibly can, and even some Jews are for the idea. In case you have been vacationing on Mars and don’t know what the two-state solution is, it goes a litte something like this.
Israel and Stuff
The Muslim Dome of thr Rock mosque sits atop the holiest place in Israel, the Temple Mount.
The Two-State Solution
Here is the theory - The Arabs who occupy Gaza, and call themselves the ‘Palestinians’, would be nice to the Jews if they had their own state - Palestine. So, again in theory, all the Jews would have to do to make peace is to create a state called Palestine, and let the Muslims in Gaza be free. Right? Wrong. There are a number of things wrong with this idea, not the least of which is that fact that written into the charter of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization, a terrorist group), is this gem from article 22 of the offical PLO charter....(excerpt)
Peace will come soon after the creation of a “Palisimian State”, because the ‘dune monkeys’ will attack Israel as they always have.
This time, however, they are a nation and can be dealt with as a nation.
Hamburg and Dresden come to mind.
------
Why do you want to force Israelis to live in the same country as (mostly) Palestinian Muslims?
If they had not been such star struck Yasser Arafat PLO groupies Israel and the Palestinians would have made peace long ago.
After trying to destroy and take over Jordan, pretty much laying waste to Lebanon and siding with Saddam in the Gulf War, the PLO and Arafat were hated with a passion in the Middle East and had little to no support in the rest of the world.
Kuwait oil sheiks would rather clean their own kitchens, do their own laundry and sweep their own streets before they would allow Palestinians back into their country.
Once kicked out of Lebanon Arafat and the PLO were essentially banished to prison camps in Tunisia and Middle East terrorism was an the wane as the Israelis and Egyptians were trying to make peace work in the region
Hillary especially insisted that Arafat and the PLO be the leaders and power brokers of the Palestinian cause instead of actual Arabs living in Israel and the territories who had a stake in a better life for their families and themselves.
This gave Arafat, the PLO and International Terrorism a new lease on life.
Arafat was the single most frequent visitor to the Clinton White House.
Arafat and the PLO were brutal criminals first and terrorist second. When they came into Gaza and the rest of the territories they came in like a conquering army in the backs of military trucks waving AK -47s and took over like the Mafia and began terrorizing and extorting the natives and also stealing all the international aide money they could get their hands on.
Arafat also began to teach hatred towards Israel and began radicalizing and indoctrinating the children with a hateful ideology and para military training as early as grade school.
Arafat then began the first of the Intifadas.
Arafat and his Intifadas and terrorism re ignited the terrorism and rise of Radical Islam we are seeing
It’a been all down hill from there for the Palestinians, the Israelis and the rest of the world ever since Hillary and Bill insisted that Yasser Arafat and the PLO be the official “Partners for Peace” in the Middle East Peace Process - which has been a lot of negative process and the exact opposite of peace.
Hillary burned down the Middle East and betrayed the Palestinians, the Israelis, the Egyptians and the rest of the Middle East long by sabotaging the last, best hope for peace in the Middle by insisting on Yasser Arafat as the Peace Partner long before she burned down Libya, Syria and Iraq.
Yet another weenie promoting his pet project at taxpayer expense.
You go do it, Charlie, and let us know how it turns out.
As always, Greenfield is worth the time to read. Thanks for posting.
OK - that's true - it IS the Islamist dream. Greenfield's right.
BUT if the "Palestinian State" was built 500 miles away rather than right next door to Israel here's what would change... The "antisemitism by proxy" funds would dry up.
And that's no small deal.
Arabs would be forced to fight their cousins, neighbors, people the next city over and any country within a few hundred miles. Hatred's unlimited but human effort's NOT unlimited. And the Western 'donors' - - those who care 'oh so much' about Palestinians?
What about them?
When 'antisemitism by proxy' is removed, they'll lose interest and funds will start drying up. Funding hatred of Arabs hating the Arab tribe next door isn't as much fun...
Why?
One more Arab country that hates everyone- - but especially hates Jews and Americans isn't a big draw if it's impotent.. So yes, create a Palestinian State - but a minimum of 500 miles away from Israel... Let them stew in their own juices...

We should take a chuck of Saudi Arabia in payment for protecting them, give it to these “fake” refugees, done. Anyone complains we bomb them into oblivion, next issue ...

If you had a pyromaniacal sadist in the family, would it be prudent to buy a nice wood framed house for them and then let them live in that house? Or better still, let all the minor children in the family live with the pyromaniacal sadist in that nice wood framed house.
There are spots on this earth where aq huge surface area is like a glass slab, formed by intense heat melting sand into a form of glass ...
If all the Jews have to leave “palestine” then all the arabs have to leave Israel
Arabs should all be forced to live in Arabia — there is no Palestinian nationality, other than Israeli Jews.
