Netanyahu Stops Pretending To Support A Sovereign Palestinian State

“There cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan," he said July 11 at a press conference. But if Israel doesn't relinquish security control, Palestinians cannot establish a state. The alternative, then, would be a single state in which Palestinians are residents but not full citizens.

"That sentence, quite simply, spells the end to the notion of Netanyahu consenting to the establishment of a Palestinian state,” summed up Times of Israel editor David Horovitz, whom Ha'aretz described as a Netanyahu supporter....

...."Israel must go all the way," Lieberman said in a press conference on Tuesday. In a radio interview with Army Radio, he stated plainly, "We need to decide whether we are going with an alternative that entails fully conquering the Gaza Strip."

they are going all the way and with complicity from the West. The Palestinians are being treated no differently from indigenous folks across the planet. What is amazing is that they continue to get away with it.
It won't happen in my life time but one day the worm will turn.

It is the looting and plunder of their land - just like all the others.
Only the most gullible continue to buy this BS.
