Israel Just Wants Middle East to Recognize Their State

The Palestinian Authorityand Hamas rejected over the weekend Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people as a precondition for resuming the stalled peace talks between the two sides.

Netanyahu made the demand during a meeting last Thursday with US special Middle East envoy George Mitchell.

Mitchell met on Friday in Ramallah with PA President Mahmoud Abbas and other top PA officials, who urged him to pressure the new Israeli government to accept the two-state solution and honor all agreements signed with Israel as a precondition for resuming the peace talks.

Chief PA negotiator Saeb Erekat said that the demand to recognize Israel as a Jewish state was “an admission by the Israeli prime minister that he cannot deliver on peace.” Erekat pointed out that the PLO had already recognized Israel’s right to exist when it signed the Oslo Accords, while Netanyahu was refusing to mention a Palestinian state.

Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior Fatah official closely associated with Abbas, said on Saturday that the Palestinians would not return to the negotiating table until Netanyahu publicly accepted the two-state solution.

“We reject Netanyahu’s demand to recognize Israel as a Jewish state,” he said. “This demand illustrates the racist nature of Israel and the extremist policies of its government. It also shows that Israel is not serious about making peace with its neighbors.”

So let me get this straight, Palestine wants to be recognized as a state which would mean a two-state resolution, however, it refused to recognize the second part of that resolution which would be Israel?

The Oslo Accord was a sham and it is a failed policy.  The United Nations does such a poor job of following its own rules and guidelines, why would the Oslo Accord which is out of date and does not apply or count have any pull in the matter?

What is not disclosed is the fact that the PA (Palestinian Authority) is actually the PLO.  The PLO has never changed its charter which calls for the elimination/extermination of all Jews.

The Palestinians and other Middle Eastern countries have quite a strong influence of Nazism.  What is not readily taught in public schools these days but can be seen on the History Channel is the power that Hitler had on the Middle East and how he involved the Grand Mufti of Palestine, at that time residing in Jerusalem, in WWII.  The Mufti trained and built his own forces who carried the same anti-semitic sentiment – something that so obviously exists today.  The Islamofascists are extremely similar to the Nazis of the 30′s and 40′s.

Another parallel to WWII would be the appeasement by Neville Chamberlain and if we learned anything from history, it’s how appeasement does not work when dealing with hostile countries or dictators that have made their intentions clear.  Chamberlain gave land to Hitler near the Czech Republic and this gave Germany the opportunity to being the conquer of Europe and begin their quest for dominance.  If you don’t think this could happen again by promising land, think again!

This will prove to be quite a conundrum for Obama and is Administration and depending upon the decision could prove disastrous.

Israel has only ever wanted to be recognized and accepted in the region, why is this so difficult for the other Islamic countries surrounding them?   One of the answers in this, in my opinion, will be properly engaging and working with Jordan – this may be the only option.
