Many
politicians and members of the public have come to see Palestinians as
the world's underdogs, who, however ugly their behaviour, can do no
wrong; and to portray Israel as a Nazi state that persecutes the
Palestinians and "steals" the land -- mystifyingly -- of a
people, the Jews, who have lived on that land for roughly 4,000 years.
"In
a final resolution, we would not see a single Israeli -- civilian or
soldier -- on our lands." — Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud
Abbas, Jerusalem Post, July 30, 2013
"The
Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight and kill the
Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and the
trees will say, O Muslims, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.
" — Hamas Charter, Article 7, based on Yale translation
"[T]his
struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and
Palestine is completely liberated." Article 19, — Fatah [PLO]
Constitution, as of July 19, 2005

The British parliament, on October 13th, may be debating
whether or not to recognize a Palestinian state.
Recognizing what in all likelihood would quickly become yet another
Islamic terrorist state can only set a precedent that could have a
disastrous impact on future negotiations, international law, and lead to
the establishment yet more launching pads for people dedicated to violent
jihad, not just in Israel, but, as they now openly admit, worldwide,
including Britain and Sweden.
On October 3, newly elected Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven
used his inaugural speech to announce a decision to recognize the
"state of Palestine." In what must rank as one of the most
self-contradictory statements in political history, he declared: "A
two-state solution requires mutual recognition and a will to peaceful
co-existence. Sweden will therefore recognise the state of
Palestine."
