The Israeli Knesset has overwhelmingly backed a resolution put forward by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that rejects a “unilateral” creation of a Palestinian state.
Ninety-nine lawmakers out of 120 in the Knesset voted in favor of the resolution. According to Ynet, Israel’s Labor Party boycotted the vote, and 11 Arab lawmakers voted against it. The majority of the leading opposition parties, National Unity and Yesh Atid, voted in favor.
Netanyahu celebrated the strong support for his legislation. “I commend the Knesset members, including those from the opposition, who today voted overwhelmingly in favor of my proposal that Israel opposes being unilaterally dictated to establish a Palestinian state,” he said.
“I don’t recall many votes, in fact, hardly any, where the Knesset voted with a majority of 99, nearly 100 members out of 120, on any proposal,” Netanyahu added.
The resolution came in response to reports that say the US is working with some of its Arab partners on an outline for a future peace deal that would include a “firm timeline” toward a Palestinian state.
The Knesset vote happened after the Israeli cabinet unanimously approved a similar declaration that rejected “international diktats” on a Palestinian state.
Netanyahu has been boasting of his efforts over the years to prevent a Palestinian state. “Everyone knows that I am the one who for decades blocked the establishment of a Palestinian state that would endanger our existence,” he said on Monday.
The US talk about working toward a 2 state solution is for domestic consumption only. Everyone on the planet, except those in the tank for Genocide Joe, knows that the US is not now, nor has it ever, seriously pushed Israel toward a 2 state solution. It is just one more piece of bullshit in the edifice of a bloody empire of lies.
100%! Dude! Our “natives” live in “reservations.” You think we’re going to give the Palestinians a “nation?”
The US government then and now insists that those “reservations” are “nations” that are self governing. We know the truth, but we spout the lie. That is exactly how Israel means to treat Palestinians, if they must allow them to live there at all.
I wanted to share this cartoon with you: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHBxjB_W8AEsG8J?format=jpg&name=large
Only Obama,Clinton, and Carter pushed for such a state-they each would have loved a Nobel Peace Prize.
They didn’t push very hard or they would have forced the issue by stopping all military/economic assistance to Israel.
I’m glad this aid perturbs you. The job of the US presidents was to bring two sides together-negotiations require concessions from each side, not just one.
negotiations require concessions from each side, not just one.
You are fucking delusional.
President Kennedy pushed Ben-Gurion to not develop the bomb. Letters were exchanged. President Kennedy reasoned that should Israel get the bomb, it would encourage Israel to become more aggressive. Add Israel to the list of those who wanted to see Kennedy dead.
States are always “created unilaterally.” That’s how it works. They come into existence when the people who establish them declare independence. See, for example, the US Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel.
Palestine’s Declaration of Independence was proclaimed in 1988.
States are also recognized by other states unilaterally, one at a time. Here’s a map with the nations that recognize the State of Palestine shaded in green:

What you say is true. Now Palestine need to come up with a realistic plan with Israel to have its own land. After Oct7, that may take a while.
But that’s only so long as Israel won’t allow an independent investigation. … tho it’s likely been long enough they’ve destroyed all the evidence.
Its obvious what happened. If some folks have worldviews that are being upset,thats just life.
The active prevention of an immediate independent investigation is proof positive of falsity.
Israel does not want it to have their own land. You see, that land is Eretz Israel in the Torah, and, Talmud. Unknown writers have decided that it is open season on anyone or any country, or political body that wishes to have even a speck of the land. Palestine and the rest of the world is considered to be Amalek. Bibi has spoken……………
A very old cliche is “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
Yes. Isn’t it.
I am surprised it wasn’t unanimous.
“I don’t recall many votes, in fact, hardly any, where the Knesset voted with a majority of 99, nearly 100 members out of 120, on any proposal,” Netanyahu added.
Bibi’s so proud that everyone has become fucking scum just like him.
So the problem is “Israel” and not just Netanyahu. They voted for him because they all together want genocide, just like the Germans of 1933.
In other news. the IDF has allegedly killed a Hezbollah commander. With over 150,000 rockets at its disposal, it is in the realm of possibility that Hezbollah will soon be firing rockets at Tel Aviv. There are targets that we hope Hezbollah will not hit, which, if they did, would cause thousands of casualties.
LUCKILY NO ONE ASKED FOR THEIR PERMISSION, AND IT IS NOT THEIR PEROGATIVE TO DECIDE.!!!
