By omitting Jewish ties to Jerusalem, the Palestinians are saying that there will be no Jews in a future Palestinian state.
As part of an attempt to persuade the United States and the rest of the international community that the Palestinians are seeking to create a democratic state “based on the rule of law and human dignity,” the Palestinian Authority leadership last week published a draft of the Palestinians’ temporary “constitution.”
The 162-article draft “constitution,” however, shows that, if and when the Palestinians have a state of their own, it would actually not be different from the two mini-states they have had for the past two decades: the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Judea and Samaria.
Both Palestinian regimes have miserably failed their people, mainly by depriving them of international aid, democracy, opportunity, free elections, and freedom of speech.
