The so-called “single-state solution” would mean the death of Israel as a Jewish state. No wonder the Jordanian P. M. Omar Razzaz supports it. The story is here.
Jordanian Prime Minister Omar Razzaz said his country could possibly back a single Israeli-Palestinian state, if it offered equal rights to all citizens….
“You close the door to the two-state solution, I could very well look at this positively, if we’re clearly opening the door to a one-state democratic solution,” Razzaz said.
Story continues below advertisement“But nobody in Israel is talking about that, and so we cannot just sugar-coat what they’re doing,” Razzaz said. “Who’s talking about the one-state solution in Israel? They’re talking about apartheid in every single sense.”
“I challenge anybody from Israel to say yes, let’s end the two-state solution, it’s not viable,” he said. “But let’s work together on a one-state democratic solution. That, I think, we will look at very favorably. But closing one and wishful thinking about the other is just self-deception.”…
No one is Israel is saying the “two-state solution” is not viable. Many Israelis support the “two-state solution” as set out by the Trump Administration. What they do not accept is a “two-state solution” that would squeeze Israel back within the 1949 armistice lines – for they believe that such an outcome would be intolerable. It would not sate, but whet, Arab appetites for another assault on Israel. The Israelis are willing to give up some territory that is theirs by right, but not willing to commit national suicide.
That “one-state democratic solution” Omar Razzaz looks forward to implementing would mean the end of the Jewish state. 1.8 million Palestinians now live in Gaza, 2 million in the West Bank, and 2 million in Israel. Were there to be one state, that would mean nearly 6 million Palestinian Arabs would live in the same state with 6.8 million Jews. Given the higher Arab fertility rates, Palestinian Arabs would soon outnumber Jews. The “democratic” state would then be governed by an Arab majority. And how would the Jews in that “one-state” then keep many more Palestinian Arabs from “returning” to “Palestine”?
An Israeli annexation, Razzaz said, is “ushering in a new apartheid state” that could destabilize and radicalize the region.
There would be no “apartheid” state if the Israelis extend their sovereignty to 30% of the West Bank, as the Trump Plan envisions. There is no apartheid in Israel now, and the same policies would remain in place for whatever part of the West Bank is formally made part of Israel. Arabs sit in the Knesset, serve on the Supreme Court, represent Israel as ambassadors abroad, even serve – but only if they wish – in the IDF, where Arabs have attained the rank of major. In Israel, Jews and Arabs go to school together, study together in universities, work in the same businesses and government offices, are treated in the same hospitals by both Jewish and Arab doctors and nurses, visit the same libraries and museums, go to the same sporting events, eat in the same restaurants. How does any of this smack of “apartheid”?
“The way we see it, anything short of a viable two-state solution is going to push not just Jordan, not just Palestine, not just Israel, but the region and the world into chaos,” he said, speaking in Amman.
Razzaz’s attempt to instill fear – an argumentum in terrorem – is absurd. The Palestinians are not the center of the universe, as Mahmoud Abbas and his cronies seem to think. They are no longer even of much concern to the Arabs, who have many other things to worry about, including three ongoing civil wars in Yemen, Libya, and Syria, mass famine in Yemen, an economy in ruins in Lebanon, where the terror group Hezbollah has essentially seized power, the destabilization of Iraq by Iranian-backed militias, the Turkish troops that have now invaded two Arab countries (Syria and Libya) and intend to remain, the jihadis in the Sinai who attack Egyptian troops, the Iranian attacks both on oil tankers in the Gulf, and on oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Arab boycott of Qatar, the Shi’a protests against the Sunni ruler of Bahrain, and much, much more. When the Saudi Crown Prince told Abbas to accept whatever deal the Americans offered, he was expressing widespread Arab exasperation with the Palestinians and their unwillingness to deal, and with their endless demands for financial, diplomatic, and other forms of support from the other Arabs, demands that those Arabs are ever less inclined to satisfy.
There will be worldwide “chaos,” according to Razzaz, if a “viable two-state solution” to the Arab-Israeli conflict is not found. This in terrorem threat is absurd. With each passing year, the Arabs exhibit a diminished interest in the Arab-Israeli conflict which, back in 1948, was indeed the focus of their attention, and remained so through the defeats of the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War of 1973. But almost a half-century has passed, and the Arabs have other concerns. No “chaos,” not even locally, will be felt if the Arab-Israeli conflict is not “solved.” In fact, the current status quo might suit the Israelis and their Arab allies – those who cooperate with Israel in opposing both Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood — just fine. For there is no permanent “solution” to the conflict which, rightly understood, should be comprehended as an endless Jihad. The only way to prevent open warfare is for Israel to remain sufficiently strong to discourage Arab aggression. This policy of deterrence worked for America during the Cold War, and will work for Israel now.

I had an Palestinian Uber driver in San Francisco once. He brought this crap up. After his pathetic diatribe, my response was simple. If one country or countries attack another country and then get their ass thrown back across the original borders i say “Its the spoils of war and ya’ll fucked up messing with God’s people”
I still left an decent tip.

We’re are all God’s people, Jews and Muslims are just Democrats and they are clearly making trouble for our Republic.

Some cultures are evil. Not everyone is the same. The Paleostinians are steeped in hundreds of years of Jew hatred. There were massacres of Jews even before the creation of Israel was even attainable. Check out the Arab massacres of Jews in Hebron and Safat.
The desire for peace must come from
the people themselves; you cannot make peace with people who desire only murder and war.

Where is the desire for peace? Both of these Abraham cults are using conspiracys as “holy books” “God’s people” is a joke. All of you two faced fanatics are against peace by default.

Your argument is one of false equivalence. It’s estimated the f’ing muslums have slaughtered upwards of 80 million Hindus across the Indian sub-continent and the f’ing muslums have never stopped slaughtering Hindus in the Indian sub-continent. Only members of one religion are presently committing worldwide terrorism against the unbeliever in their death cult and enslaving the kufar across Africa. FU.

I stated pure fact. Fanaticism is not compatible with peace. Any man reading a book written by a man and calling that book holy is making trouble for peace.

What about the Amish dimwit? What about Buddhists dimwit? You’re committing another fallacy of argumentation AGAIN dimwit — taking the part for the whole. In your dim, little mind you equate Islum and presumably Christianity to all religions. FU go back to the NY Slimes editorial pages where you belong and bloviate among the know-nothings there.

Important you’ve understood that I debunked your cult. As for trouble making cowards and Christian pacifism being exempt from reality. No boy, ask yourself why deserters are executed?

The single state solution. The Palis can live here in in ‘Israel Pacific’, and the Jews can live in ‘Israel Mediterranean’. Both will be called Israel.

Yup, the single state solution will work and turn the suvccessful State of Israel into another Arab governed shithole just like all the other Arab governed states surrounding Israel.

Single state works if all the Arabs get moved back to their homelands of Jordan and Egypt.

I agree as look at Lebanon, formerly Christian they went down this route until they became the minority like muslims in western countries are trying to do by high birth rates and pushing us out of towns once they become the majority as that’s what lead to the Lebanese Christians with the war and now ironically tragically enough Hezbollah owned the bomb that devastated the Christian part of town that was definitely meant for Israel ! Already it’s worrying that since Israel’s re creation , they owned control of Jerusalem but now Arabs are like at almost half population compared with back then so Israel should have put a stop to the building of mosques, the ridiculous laws that Jews can’t pray on the Temple Mount and that videos of the Hamas backed trolls up their get away with the abuse of Jews should they step foot on “ Jewish owned territory “! And the IDF have to patrol and come between visitors ! It’s why that solution like what’s happened in every town they take over in the west would lead to another genocide of the Jewish people !

The actual population of Israel is 9,254,480. The Jewish population is approximately 75%.
The Paleostinians should never have an independent state. They live on Jewish lands and should have all been driven out in 1947 and 1967. Tragically, the Left believed they could make peace with a culture steeped in Nazi like hatred of Jews. The Arabs were allowed to stay under this delusional belief in the unattainable.
The result was now over 75 years of Jewish blood and tears spilt on our Holy land.
Kahane has the only solution: these Arabs must be resettled in lands East of the Jordan River, whence they originate.

That’s why the f’ing muslums gunned down Rabbi Kahane in broad daylight in the lobby of a NYC hotel and THEN killed his son and daughter-in-law in Israel.

Jordan, carved away from 87% of the Jewish Homeland was created as the state for the Arabs. Israel was to then be comprised of Judea, Samaria, and pre-1967 Israel (armistice lines). The Arabs belong in Jordan, not Israel.

‘Razzaz said. “Who’s talking about the one-state solution in Israel? They’re talking about apartheid in every single sense.”’
Hilarious, a Jordanian muslum complaining about an apartheid state when his own country specifically forbids Jews ever becoming citizens and disallows anyone Jewish wearing religious garb.
“In 1933, a number of prominent Arabs in Transjordan asked Great Britain to allow
Jews to settle there, to help its ailing economy, and Zionists were
enthusiastic about the idea. But since the British saw the riots that
were happening in Palestine at the time they didn’t want to worry about
more problems of that type, so they created a law banning Jews from living there.
This policy was ratified
— after the emirate became a kingdom — by Jordan’s law no. 6, sect. 3,
on April 3, 1954, and reactivated in law no. 7, sect. 2, on April 1,
1963. It states that any person may become a citizen of Jordan unless he
is a Jew. King Hussein made peace with Israel in 1994, but the
Judenrein legislation remains valid today.”

Sounds like Jordan will NOT be one of the nations signing the new peace deal….

I see they still like using the Jimmy Carter term “apartheid” as if that gives them any legitimacy in trying to destroy Israel one way or another. Especially from Jordan, a country tired of supporting Palestinians.
