Two Staters Are Not Supported By Palestinians

It is amazing that those who believe in a two state solution think that once there are separate countries, all will be rosy and life will be good in the Middle East. Do they not understand what is really occurring in this region or are they just wishful, unthinking, uninformed pawns. The latter descriptor is my impression.

Whether it is President Obama or Hillary Clinton or my neighbor down the street, the impression one gets from these "two staters" is that somehow the magic of getting their own country will terminate the terrorists from fomenting terror. This could not be further from the truth or shall we say reality.

Those who hate Israel and by extension the United States will never rest until they control the entire region.  They feel it is their right, their time to control the world and no country or  agreement will stand in their way. If you want them to sign, they will but with the full intention of ignoring anything that does not promote their goal.


We, in the West, view a document as our word, our bond. We sign and  the presumption is that all parties who agreed to it will follow through. In the Middle East that is not the way it is.  You give your word as long as it is in your best interests, however, when that changes, you are allowed to change. It is like standing on shifting sands.

On top of that mindset, you add the indoctrination the peoples of the Middle East have had since 1947 against the State of Israel, one should not be surprised to find that the vast majority (see following article) are not in favor of the two state solution.  How in  bloody hell is a peace to be established when one party is sworn to destroy the other? To sign a peace with this background is to sign your death certificate.

Just like Afghanistan has be the deathbed of many great countries, the Middle East is also.  For the United States to support anyone but the only democracy in the region would say the our enemies that it is not good to be America's friend. We might not agree with all that Israel does (do we agree with all the United States does?) but their citizens are free, can vote in fair elections, and are prosperous (even Arabs.)  Why would we support regimes where their citizens are not free, cannot vote and are poor?  Makes no sense to me.

The following article published a week ago speaks to the poll on the two state solution. It is interesting reading.





6 in 10 Palestinians reject 2-state solution, survey finds


73% of 1,010 Palestinians in W. Bank, Gaza agree with 'hadith' quoted in Hamas Charter about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones, trees.
