In an op-ed in the New York Times, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon argued that everyone, including the Palestinians, need to accept the idea that any alternative to unconditionally surrendering to Israel would necessarily be far costlier.
Danon angrily condemned opponents of surrender, mostly Palestinians, who
argue that abandoning all national ambitions would mean an end to the
Palestinian people entirely. He did not, however, argued that this might
not be the case.
Rather, Danon insisted that it was at least conceivable that the
Palestinians might be allowed to continue to exist after surrendering to
Israel, and that this was the best, and apparently only option that
they have, so they should just go for it and hope for the best.
Danon compared the Palestinians to ethnic Germans after World War 2,
noting that the Germans continued to exist. He said a Palestinian
surrender might even lead to a similar transformation to what Egypt has
enjoyed since 1979, constant military juntas who are receive large
amounts of US foreign aid.
The Ambassador might do well to examine closely the boundries of UNR 181. These are the only internationally recognized borders of the 2 states and the only basis for a lasting peace.
The United States should have Israel recall it’s Ambassador. His remarks make it seem that the US is Israel’s vassal.
Of course, we are Israel’s vassal. No question about it.
I agree, and the reality has me on a stroke alert.
Of course the Palestinians must, now that for quite some times USA has surrendered to Israel. All we now need to do is to change our name to USrael
Does this mean the Palestinians will be back in 2000 years to establish a “national homeland” ?
Danon is trying to emulate the ignorance and hatred shown by the US leadership.
Danon feels free to allow full display of his hatred and malice, now that the US leadership is lowered to his level. He was always this way. He used to lie about it. Now he boasts about it.
Israel’s real position: Surrender, pack up, and move away. Maybe Israel will get some Arab oil money donated to help with moving costs. Or maybe not. Just go.
