DOUBLE STANDARD HERE.


Palestinian idea of a Two-State Solution: “Palestinian state will be for Arabs only, while Israel will be for both Arabs and Jews, including refugees”


Palestinian Authority foreign relations director, Nabil Shaath, one of the so-called ‘relatively moderate’ Palestinian Authority leaders, essentially told Lebanese television that there really is no such thing as a two-state solution.

Israel Matzav First, there will be a Palestinian state “for one people,” that is an Arab, Muslim state. But there can be no recognition of Israel as a Jewish state because that implies a permanent peace. Shaath and the Palestinian leadership almost unanimously seek a second stage in which the “Palestinians with Israeli citizenship” plus the “returning…to their country” of Palestinian refugees will turn Israel into an Arab Muslim Palestinian part of Palestine.
They can describe Israel itself as a state for two peoples, but we will be a state for one people. The story of `two states for two peoples’ means that there will be a Jewish people over there and a Palestinian people here. We will never accept this….We will not sacrifice the 1.5 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship who live within the 1948 borders, and we will never agree to a clause preventing the Palestinian refugees from returning to their country.”
