- If the
international community wants to see Israel make dangerous
concessions, then they, and they alone, must ensure that Israel has
a united and pragmatic peace partner.
- This should be
Israel's basic demand: that a united Palestinian political
leadership will recognize the right of all the citizens of the
Jewish State of Israel to live in peace and security, alongside the
State of Palestine.
- It is that
simple. That is all it takes.
If the international community wants to see Israel
make dangerous concessions, then they, and they alone, must ensure that
Israel has a united and pragmatic peace partner, not a weak, aging,
corrupt, rejectionist and undemocratic leader to our east, who constantly
says he will never recognize Israel as the Jewish State, and to our
south, in Gaza, a rabid Islamic terror regime bent on our destruction.

The notion that the creation of a state of Palestine will herald
everlasting peace is naïve in the extreme.
After 50 years of a two-state failure, the French and other
diplomats, in their duplicitously-named "peace initiative,"
have no other idea for how to settle the Palestinian problem, except to
behave like parched men trudging across a burning desert toward a distant
mirage that they think is an oasis paradise. It is not, and the same
diplomats will take no responsibility for cleaning up the dangerous
outcome of such a disaster.
The international community is pressuring Israel to make wholesale
concessions in territory and security, risking social and political
upheaval, to grant the so-called Palestinians a state of their own.
The sole criterion for making this happen is for the international
community to accept the Palestinian precondition of forcing Israel
withdraw to pre-1967 lines, which are the 1949 armistice lines and not a
defined border.
