Israel: Palestinian State Was Tried and Failed
(Jerusalem Post) Accepting a Palestinian state would be suicidal for Israel, particularly after the last time it gave up land in Gaza, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told Newsmax on Wednesday. "I say it's the two-state illusion. The fact is that we already tried this genius idea. We did it when we totally withdrew in 2005 from Gaza. What was called, at the time, the disengagement plan, 20 years ago. We dismantled all our military camps, all our communities, even the graves from the cemeteries. But still, the way they responded [was] to build the largest terror kingdom on earth. And it took a very short time after when they attacked time and again with missiles." "The concept was to give them independence, and they will take care of the security. But not only didn't they do that, but our security situation deteriorated because every place we left became a huge base of terrorism....So, it is extremely dangerous for Israeli security, and this is why this idea that once was more popular, in Israel almost no one supports that."
