Delusional in Davos
WFB ^ | 18 Ja 2024 | Matthew Continetti

Secretary of State Antony Blinken sat for an interview with New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday. It was not reassuring.

region has been aflame since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, murdering 1,200 Israelis, kidnapping hundreds more, and spiriting away the innocents into an underground hell.

...

War rages. What most interests Tom Friedman, however, are the chances for a Palestinian state. He says it's the key to peace in the Middle East—a position from which he has not wavered, despite all evidence to the contrary, for more than 20 years. Antony Blinken is more than happy to indulge in this delusion.

....

Pierce through the bureaucratic lingo, and you encounter a statement breathtaking in its unseriousness. In a world filled with crises, the U.S. secretary of state has decided to resume a generations-long quest for the diplomatic Holy Grail: a Palestinian state. Governed by whom? His answer is a "stronger, reformed Palestinian Authority that can more effectively deliver for its own people."

KEYWORDS:
Where will that come from? Jupiter? This "stronger, reformed Palestinian Authority" won't be the product of the corrupt 88-year-old Holocaust denier who is in the 18th year of his 4-year term. Or the 72 percent of Palestinians who say Hamas's atrocities were "correct." To say nothing of Israel, which would not accept, nor should be forced to accept, a Palestinian state that coddles and provides safe harbor for terrorists.

A Palestinian state is a nonstarter until Israel defeats its enemies, reestablishes deterrence, and evicts UNRWA from the premises. It is a nonstarter until the Palestinian Authority ends its incitement to murder and its payments to the families of stabbers, killers, and mad bombers.

This is an excellent example of a critical fact: Leftists like Blinken and his ilk have no regard for the truth. It isn’t that they hate the truth, it’s just that they find it irrelevant. They are committed to a narrative, which only coincidentally brushes up against reality at times, which they believe will lead to some ideal if unarticulated future. They seem to believe that if they push the narrative hard enough and long enough, they can make it real.

Soviet Union tried this for 70 years. Got nowhere, but ruined a great country by trying. These malignant growths will do the same to us.
