Netanyahu has it right: “They say that they will not recognize a Jewish state in order to leave the right of return on the table. So then what are we even talking about here? That a Palestinian state will be established but it will continue its conflict against the state of Israel with more preferential borders?” Exactly so: what the U.S. is now doing is essentially demanding that Israel commit suicide. Obama wants Israel to make peace with a “Palestinian” state vowed to its destruction. And that state, once established, will be showered with aid from the U.S. and elsewhere — all of which it will use to further the jihad against Israel.
“American State Dept. Spokesman: ‘Palestinians need not recognize the Jewish state,'” by Maya Yarowsky for Jerusalem Online, March 9 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
The spokeswoman for the American State Department, Jen Psaki, stated in an interview last night (Saturday) with the “Al-Quds” newspaper that the Palestinians do not need to recognize Israel as Jewish state as part of the peace agreement if they do not wish to do so.
In her statements to the Palestinian daily newspaper, Psaki stated that, “There is no need for the Palestinians to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. The American stance is clear in that it recognizes Israel as a Jewish state, but there is no need for the Palestinians to recognize it as such in a final agreement”.
Only yesterday the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Abu Mazen, stated that “there is not a chance” that he and the Palestinian nation will recognize Israel as a Jewish state. He continued to explain the statement by presenting historical examples, like the Israeli peace with Jordan and Egypt, which did not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, but still signed a peace agreement with the country. Psaki responded to those comments stating, “The relations between Israel and the Palestinians differ from Israel’s relations with the surrounding Arab nations”.
Psaki threw out this weekend’s reports in “Al-Quds” that the sides had already been presented with an initial copy of the framework agreement drafted by Secretary of State John Kerry.
“The Palestinians are not answering the difficult questions”
In an interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this weekend, he addressed the question of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, claiming that the request of the Palestinians in entirely legitimate. “The central question at the end is of course ‘Are you willing to recognize that the state of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish nation?’. If you don’t have the brunt of the agreement, then why turn to the leftovers. Concentrate on the central and difficult questions that they need to provide an answer for, but they don’t provide an answer. If they do give an answer — its negative”.
“They say that they will not recognize a Jewish state in order to leave the right of return on the table”, added Netanyahu. “So then what are we even talking about here? That a Palestinian state will be established but it will continue its conflict against the state of Israel with more preferential borders? We are a lot of things, but we are definitely not fools”.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. So who do you stand with, I stand with Israel. I may have to write a book called gifts from my mother and make this statement.

Why isn’t Jordan being pressured into give land to form a separate state splitting Jordan into pieces?
veggiedog says
That would make too much sense
mortimer says
Jordan’s attitude has been consistently ambiguous. Jordan annexed the West Bank, so it doesn’t have any interest in a Palestinian state. King Hussein said, “Jordan is Palestine”. That was totally accurate. The ‘Palestinians’ should either go to Jordan or become Israeli citizens and a get a life.
No1 says
Why would Israel want the Palestinians as citizens? It would be the end of Israel overnight.
bikeboy says
This is of course at the crux, the so called Palestinians have always been associated with Jordan who does not want them.
Transmaster says
That is because Jordanians remember Black September in 1970 when Yasser Arafat and the PLO tried take over Jordan. The Jordanian civil war lasted September 1970 and ended in July of 1971. King Hussein and the Jordanian Army defeated the PLO and kicked the leadership and thousands of Palestinian fighters out of Jordan who moved like a plague of rats to Lebanon. This destabilized Lebanon which than descended into civil war. Palestinian are not good neighbors to Israel, or any other country they boarder on.

Mr. Psaki started a joke?
DVult says
That picture is ghastly. Obama looks like a lizard. On the serious side, why does he seem to think that all he has to do is act palsy walsy and flash his teeth at our enemies and they will suddenly no longer be our enemies? This is the policy of a weakling – if we let them have what they want then they will stop being mean. It is high past time that this farthead Abbas receive a very large smash in the head instead of grovelling foolishness. Israel allowed the PLO to return and form a government with the understanding that they would stop fomenting terrorism and negotiate in good faith. This has not happened so time for an ultimatum. Behave or begone.
EYESOPEN says
“…The American stance is clear in that it recognizes Israel as a Jewish state, but there is no need for the Palestinians to recognize it as such in a final agreement”.
Sounds more like “final solution” to me. However, I am sure that Mr. Netanyahu will apply his usual diplomatic balm (no pun intended), as he tells OBummer in his own way to go take a flying leap off a floating log.
bikeboy says
O would be ok with a final solution, and then to do what with his supporters, you know those liberal progressive Jews.
EYESOPEN says
Oh,and any “agreement” drafted by John Kerry is not even useful as toilet paper.
veggiedog says
Kerry, another administrative anti-semit. He only fools Progressive Jews

I read stories like this and I am ASHAMED that we have such a weak, socialistic, nanny state minded, so called “administration” in the WH…..Our Founders are spinning in their graves.

Decoding the babble. The fox, convinced that he is no longer a hamster, has announced plans to hoodwink the lion who placed him on the hamster’s cartwheel. The fox is Abbas; the lion is Netanhayu; the cartwheel is Obama.

How do they keep a straight face when promoting Islam’s disgrace?
Muslims have absolutely no right to live anywhere in Israel.

Reverse psychology. Tell them to do exactly what they have been doing and they’ll have to do the opposite or at least think about it because they by nature they have to defy whatever you suggest. Also, this way they can’t complain about the US being pro-Israeli.

The problem is with the US that becoming more like it under the sick regime of the “Democarts”.
But 2 years left until [thank G-D] Obama will be replaced. We all hope the right-wing party [The Republicans] will win the elections.
Christian says
The way I see it the GOP is just as sick as the DEMS. They should have impeached this false messiah Obama years ago. If not for the IRS scandal for harassing TEA party and other conservatives, then for Benghazi. If not for those then for him being part of a terrorist family with ties to al-qaeda, having a wahabist fund raiser who is close friends to Omar al Bashir, as best man and most intimate brother. I mean how far do you have to slide down the rabbit hole before you finally realize you are in wonderland? If not for all of the above then for endangering operatives in the field with disclosing seal tactics and strategies when making a Hollywood film on bin ladins death. He took the credit for years of work, of which he only gave the final order to take that bastard out… Then getting the informant who “betrayed” Osama killed.. Do you think anyone will ever do that for America again?? Oh nobody cares.. bin ladin is dead. Well your American friend is now too. If not for all of the above.. I mean seriously… If your national security isn’t the first priority with you… Then maybe the debt might work…. But what does a debt do for you when you are no longer a free nation of free people? If your life isn’t yours anymore it doesn’t matter how deep your debt is.
When was the last time you saw satan considering how deep his debt is?

” the Israeli peace with Jordan and Egypt… did not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, but still signed a peace agreement with the country,” says the PLO.
True. But Egypt and Jordan called off its jihad against Israel recognizing it as a sovereign nation with the right of self-determination-to be any kind of peaceful state it chooses, Jewish or otherwise.

Ahhhhh, our ‘august’ Department of State. They have a history of sustaining a group of employees called “Arabists”. This goes back a long way.
‘August’ only in their own ultra-smug and superior self-important eyes. Yet another example here why I jump at opportunities to remind all that the State Department is located in a section of our District of Columbia known as “Foggy Bottom” which many years ago was a pestilential area, later built up with reclaimed land.
Loads of punning ops here.

If Palestinians “need not recognize” Jewish Israel, then Israel will have every right to crush “Palestine” wherever it is.
Not in your national interests, sirs. But then, you believe in “unity.”
jewdog says
When will Netanyahu have the stones to insist on unmediated talks with Israel’s adversaries? It’s bad enough to face the terrorists in the PA without also having to deal with Obama and State.
Ice Star says
How about we no longer recognize “Palestinian” refugees.
Walter Sieruk says
All right the “Palestinians” [Muslim/Arabs will not recognize the Jewish State of Israel. Which is fine because they are all overruled by God . For God had declared in His Word[ the Bible] that this area of land in the Middle East belongs to the Jewish people. Thus this is their land by Divine Right. As seen, for example,in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalms 405:7-11. 135:4. This land also belongs to the Jewish people by historic rights. As shown in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56. In all fairness there is one way they the “Palestinians”can convince God to Change His Mind and turn His Back of the State of Israel be no more. That way is for the “Palestinians” to change the laws of astrophysics including that of the sun ,the moon and the stars. For God had said in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord , which gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for alight by night… The Lord of host is His Name. if those ordinances depart from before me saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.”

I suspect Obama considers himself a pacifist, and a smart one at that. Trouble is he’s not smart enough to know that pacifism really only results in satisfactory outcomes among other pacifists. Only a complete fool would expect a satisfactory outcome using a pacifistic approach with Muslims.
But, what the hell: What’s Obama & Co. ever done that wasn’t outright or at least marginally foolish.
Robert Wagner says
Any case of Palestine becoming an independent country, it would soon become Iraq II.
Hamas is Sunni and Hezbollah is Shiite. Abbas is a thief.
