In Davos on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahy was talking up what he’s calling a “new model” for a peace deal with the Palestinians, which appears to be his latest alternative to the two-state solution, which he once again refused to endorse.
Netanyahu complained he wanted to avoid “labels” by talking about two states, but set out a policy which is clearly well short of such a solution, offering to allow the Palestinians to have “the whole trappings of self-governance,” but with Israel maintaining formal control.
Eager to avoid labels, Netanyahu was a bit vague beyond Israel keeping total security control over Palestine permanently, but appears to be suggesting that they’d be allowed to have some measure of autonomy within Palestine as an Israeli-ruled territory.
Yet the Palestinian Authority is already given some nominal autonomy in some parts of Palestine as it is, and Netanyahu made no mention of what might change beyond that, including if the Israeli military could remain de facto in charge of the region, or if Israeli settlement policy would change in this self-governed Palestine.
Netanyahu is describing apartheid. so Israel is according to Netanyahu about to become an apartheid state.
I sense a bit of panic in Netanyahu, Trump is continuing to throw him bones but the world is turning their back on the two of them
“a “new model” for a peace”
The new model is the same as old model called a “Potemkin village”!!!
google, “Potemkin village”
So Netanyahu wants to create “Palustans” where Palestinians will have the appearance of governing while Israel maintains complete control (and US taxpayers pay for it).
I think it is time to start sanctions against the Likud members who support the IDF policies on targeting children in the West Bank. Ahed Tamimi is only a small part of the policy and the results as disgusting.
so the status quo then…..
“the whole trappings of self-governance,” but with Israel maintaining formal control.
lol I suppose all the incarcerated millions in the USA are really free, under government protection.
Is there a war criminal more deserving of the “Mussolini” treatment than Netanyahu? One must hope that America wakes up and throws the vile Zionists into the dustbin of history. These worthless psychopaths are beyond reproach.
Financial power and Elite influence have created this super fascist entity that is slowly exposing itself for what it really is.
“There is no such thing as ‘international law’. The UN is a forum for sovereign states; there is no international government, so it can’t impose laws on any member, other than expelling it.”
Tell that to all the countries that have been economically sanctioned and/or invaded pursuant to United Nations Security Council resolutions.
“The Jews were the original population”
Not according to the historical claims that Zionists use to justify a Jewish “homeland” in Palestine. According to that set of historical claims, the Jews drove out the Canaanites and took over from them. So, question:
If some group of people shows up claiming to be able to prove that they’re descended from Canaanites who were there before the Jews, do they get their homeland back?
In other words, history matters when it supports the side you support, and history doesn’t matter when it supports the side you oppose.
