The ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip continues to hold, but both sides seem eager to make speeches downplaying its value and insisting a broader peace is impossible, and that this is entirely the other side’s fault.
Khaled Meshaal, Hamas’ leader who made his first ever visit to the strip last week, continues to insist that his movement is committed to “armed resistance” and will never accept a territorial split with Israel.
Not to be outdone Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Meshaal, while insisting that his speech proved that peace with the Palestinians is entirely impossible, and that they are a military enemy to be “overcome.”
Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas has tried to stay quiet in the latest round of public bickering, but seems to be getting drawn in by virtue of his silence, with Netanyahu insisting Abbas’ lack of public condemnation for Hamas proves that he too is the “enemy,” finishing up by condemning the Israeli left for continuing to support the “illusion” of peace.
After all that money that america has pumped into this illegal bastion on Palestinian land the writing is on the line and the end is near there is no way that the zionist can continue and how much land is stolen wilkl make much difference.
Zionism's solution to European Antisemitism was to establish a state with a Jewish majority. Anything less than a state with Jews exclusively in control of the levers of power would in no way differ from the situation Jews faced in Russia, Poland, etc. where non Jews ran the government. Zionism from day one has sought to marginalize or remove the native population of Palestine. No one should surprised that Bibi seeks no compromise with "the natives." Be aware that Labour Zionism is just as bad as Likud. Zionism is a racist ideology and cannot be reformed.
As if there ever was going to be "compromise". This may be the only true thing Nutznyahoo has ever said.
The real question, which, by the way, is not even a question, is to know whether peace with the Nazi state is possible.
