The P.L.O., and later the Palestinian Authority, never truly accepted that Israel, as the national state and homeland of the Jewish people, was here to stay.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never believed that Israel had the right to exist at all.
It simply cannot be disputed that for decades the Palestinian leadership was more interested in there not being a Jewish state than in there being a Palestinian state.
The Palestinian Authority refuses on an ongoing basis to take the necessary steps to prevent terrorists from getting into Israel.
I believe the Palestinians have never indicated a willingness to meet our minimum requirements, which are recognition of Israel's permanence and legitimacy as a Jewish state and end of claims and end of conflict.
Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation.
A Palestinian state will never be created by terror.
Israeli Arabs don't have to go. But if they stay, they have to take an oath of allegiance to Israel as a Jewish Zionist state.
There are many Palestinians, to be diplomatic, who believe there is no way to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, first of all, and there are a lot of people that believe there is no way to recognize Israel at all.
The Palestinians will never, never implement their commitment to dismantle their infrastructure of terrorist organizations.
It is clear a Palestinian state is needed.
