“There was no such thing as Palestinians … They did not exist."
- Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (The Sunday Times, 15 June 1969)
Netanyahu, Lieberman, Barak, and Livni all claim to know how to properly put ‘the Arabs’ in their place, albeit with dreadfully fascist overtones in the case of some contenders, and best control the situation in Gaza. But even if all outstanding issues were miraculously resolved to Tel Aviv’s satisfaction, Israel’s next prime minister will still find pretext to continue agitating against Hamas and the people of Gaza.
Why?
Because they have yet to recognize Israel’s ‘right to exist’.
- Have we not recognized Israel’s ‘existence’ when we know it was they who prevented food, medicine, fuel, electricity and clean water from reaching Gaza for 18 months, causing a humanitarian crisis? Then afterward, bombed and invaded a defenseless population, killing over 1,300 and wounding thousands more—the vast majority of whom were civilians?
- Have we not recognized Israel’s ‘existence’ when we know it was they who fired white phosphorus at our people, causing burns so severe they penetrate through skin and muscle to the bone?
