Israel Isn’t The Problem

There was a disturbing report this weekend that the Biden White House may ratchet up the pressure on Israel even more by slowing down weapons deliveries. Biden is desperate to force Israel into a ceasefire with Hamas, and he wants to force Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a Palestinian state.

In a recent interview, Netanyahu responded to some of the criticism that most often comes up in Western media. He said:

“Anyone supporting Israel and who also supports a two-state solution should ask themselves some questions. Do they support the Palestinians having an army? The answer is, of course, not.

“Should the Palestinians be able to bring in weapons? The answer is, of course, not. Should they be able to make military pacts with Iran? Of course, not. . .

“Some in the United States believe that the obstacle to peace with the Palestinians is me. They don’t realize that I reflect the view of most Israelis. . .

“The problem is that the Palestinians don’t want peace with Israel, but peace without Israel. There has been a persistent opposition among Palestinian leaders to the very existence of the state of Israel. [It’s] not the absence of a Palestinian state but the opposition to a Jewish state that is the obstacle to peace.”
