Our Founders must be spinning in their graves.
The Gatestone Institute’s Bassam Tawil recently reminded us of the UN’s long support of jihadist genocidal antisemitism: “United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is still pushing for the establishment of a Palestinian terror state next to Israel. There are only three ways to read Guterres’s position: he is completely clueless; he wants to see Israel eradicated; or he is happy to oblige his constituents at the UN who would apparently like to see Israel eradicated.”
This hoary solution to a conflict born in Islam’s jihadism and the Koranic sanctioned hatred of Jews, relies on the feckless, arrogant but useful Western idealism that followed the First World War. As Guterres recycles the stale cliché, “The two-State solution with Israelis & Palestinians living side by side in peace & security,” is the only viable path to a just and lasting peace. Guterres wrote this week, “The occupation must end. The inalienable rights of the Palestinian people must be realized. International law must be respected.”
Yet it has been obvious for decades that the “two-state solution” is not about a “nation,” but about creating another “final solution.”
