Gantz to US Jewish leaders: Path to peace not through 1-sided recognition of PA state
Israel National News ^ | February 18, 2024 | Staff

Posted on 02/18/2024 6:18:23 AM PST by silent majority rising

National Unity party chairman Minister Benny Gantz addressed the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations today (Sunday) and discussed the war against Hamas and criticized international attempts to impose a Palestinian state at this time.

Gantz began his remarks by saying that "Our home is under attack. Today, and since October 7th - We have all come together to defend it."

"October 7th was a vile display of our enemy’s inhumanity," he said. "What followed, were waves of antisemitism around the world, on the streets and campuses, leaving us with one clear takeaway."

Gantz called for the formation of "a joint advocacy task force making the case for Israel."

"A ray of light during these hours of darkness has been the Israeli-American alliance, – that has proven itself stronger than ever," he said. "Our alliance has been tested three times before – in 48’, 73’ and 2023. Never will we forget President Biden’s friendship during the days following October 7th – the military backing, the diplomatic support and his clear message to our enemies - “Don’t”."

"When we say “Together we will win” – we mean also together with our American partners – Republicans and Democrats alike, and together with other international leaders, supporting our moral duty to remove the threat of Hamas and bring our hostages’ home.

"He warned, "The world must know, and Hamas leaders must know – if by Ramadan our hostages are not home – the fighting will continue to the Rafah area.""

This is an ultimatum...Even though Gantz is a putz, he is probably more effective with the secular Jews than Netanyahu, so he is delivering the message that WE will invade Rafah by March 10th, which is the beginning of Ramadan. Qatar is demanding that a Cease Fire happens NOW, regardless of the hostages. What that means is that Hamas is nearly finished and is getting Qatar to try to save their a**es..In my humble opinion.

It speaks mightily that maybe the leftist JINOs are finally waking up to the peril they’re in

The 2-state solution has been suggested somanytimes it is silly. Every time, every, a condition is that Jews either leave or die.

F(( ‘em.

I know that Biden was supportive early on, but I thought he now has repeatedly called for a "ceasefire" and a Palestinian state. (Funny how no one ever suggests that Hamas surrender in order to stop the killing.) It's a case where I hope I'm wrong.

Great Point. Biden and Obama have always hated Israel. Biden did what he did best - in the early days after October 7th, he thought he would get credit for being sympathetic (in other words, a sympathetic old grandpa who eats ice cream, and talks about his old friends dying). When it didn’t continue, he switched back to the World opinion (get rid of the Jews)...The Israelis have always been aware of Obama’s and Biden’s true sentiments, but have tried to play along for obvious reasons. Now Israel is starting to realize that they can only trust themselves and God.

The so-called 2 state solution is nothing more or less than the original Nazis’ “Final Solution” for the Jewish people, it just “unfortunately” got set back a few years when the Jews (or sone of them, anyway? finally figured out they need to defend themselves.

Gantz was Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister 2020-2022. He’s responsible for destroying Israel’s preparedness that led to Oct. 7. He might not deserve life in prison like Haliva, Ronen Bar, and Finkelman, but he’s close.

When HAMAS are all dead then there will be peace between HAMAS and Israel.

O’Biden is desperately trying to play on both sides of the net. At some point he will have to choose. We will see what happens then, perhaps to find out which side those Marines offshore attack.
