Two men were lynched in the West Bank on Friday after being accused of collaborating with Israel. The alleged "spies" were murdered in the street while others filmed the carnage. Their bodies were then hung from a tower as a large crowd cheered in approval..
Pro-Palestinian accounts on social media celebrated the killings by claiming it was an act of resistance, though no evidence has emerged to confirm the claims that the two men were actually spies working for Israel.
...
That this happened in the ostensibly more moderate West Bank says everything about the possibility of a "two-state solution," something that Joe Biden again pushed following the release of the first group of hostages. The Palestinian Authority pretends to be more level-headed than its Hamas allies, but the reality is that more people in the West Bank support Hamas than those who actually live under their rule in Gaza.
Now ask yourself, how could a two-state solution be garnered with people who operate this way? Who do you even negotiate with when the streets are ruled by various terrorist factions who lynch people in the streets, hang them from electrical towers, and cheer their demise in such a deranged fashion?
The great irony of the global left being pro-Palesitian is that they are supporting the establishment of a fundamentalist Islamic state that murders people in the streets and deprives others of basic rights. A two-state solution is not going to result in a secular utopia where all live side-by-side. Rather, it's going to create another Afghanistan, except it'll exist on the borders of Israel.
That's an outcome that's untenable given the security situation at play. Those in the West Bank and Gaza have had decades to show they are viable peace partners deserving of a state. Instead, they've settled on intifadas punctuated by violent terrorism. They made their own bed, and until the reality on the ground changes, they will be made to lay in it.
And the “average Palestinians” are crowded around celebrating while the dead bodies of two of their own are seen hanging from a pole. Yeah, they just want to live in peace.
Moving a front into the west bank next was all too predictable.
River...sea....
25 years ago Israel offered a 2-state solution, but it was rejected by the Palestinians as it didn’t lead to a 1-state solution (meaning Final Solution). So far no one has been able to explain how they’re supposed to have a 2-state solution, if one of the states simply doesn’t want it.
1948. There was a two state solution. Israel took the land allotted them and became something. Palestine went to war. Thus it has ever been. The only real solution is death to all Palestinians
Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005 in order to give the Palestinians a start at building their own state and the Palestinians immediately destroyed the (very valuable and productive) infrastructure and prepared for war against Israel.
As long as Islamist thugs can move in and take over any "state" and prepare for war against Israel, there will be no two-state solution.
Calling for an emotional eye for an eye kneejerk reaction in retribution yet there is a clear disclaimer in the second paragraph.
“though no evidence has emerged to confirm the claims that the two men were actually spies working for Israel.”
Hamas hang Palestinians all the time just for looking at them wrong or questioning their authority. A false flag in the west bank was way overdue now that the war has been initiated.
Prudence is in order here before judging this event on emotion alone just because an article is trying to fire everyone up. There are absolutely entities who would like to turn this into something it is not for a reason to go into the west bank.
Which will triple our own costs and heartache.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking that prudence should prevail...that the Israelis not allow themselves to be goaded into playing into any designs that Iran may have.
There’s only one solution. When Jesus Christ steps on the mount of olives.
Your headline makes no sense how does that follow another? This site is sponsored by Israel lobby as logic and quality debate is not had for certain issue...but just jingoistic propaganda.
“Yeah, I’ve been thinking that prudence should prevail...that the Israelis not allow themselves to be goaded into playing into any designs that Iran may have.”
I agree, it would be stupid to play into the hands of any manipulators. Iran is not the only one who would manipulate and play the world for fools... Iran would not be the only winner in this game. The global powers always win no matter which team wins this game.
It’s literately the headline. The story fully supports there headline. And you just outed yourself.
From the River to the Sea, Israel must be vermin free!
“though no evidence has emerged to confirm the claims that the two men were actually spies working for Israel.”
The irony would be if they were hanged for being homosexual.
My gay friend cringes at the Gays For Palestine trope,

“The irony would be if they were hanged for being homosexual.”
It very well could have been for something other than what they are trying to shove down our throats.
We should tread lightly and well scrutinize an article that is playing on emotion and calling for the complete annihilation of a geographical area and people. This is no better than those it is pointed at. It is the exact same mind frame they have.
The term two state solution implies a Palestinian state.
There no longer is a Palestinian state. Hamas betrayed it. The IDF obliterated Hamas. The PA actually isn’t
.
Two state? 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Jihad continues apace.
