(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset on Monday: "After 100 years of terrorism and 100 years of attempts to destroy the Zionist enterprise, our enemies still have not learned. Suicide terrorism was not victorious over us in the '90s and '00s, and the terrorism of knives will not defeat us now. What always wins is the recognition that this is our home and our homeland." Netanyahu urged PA President Mahmoud Abbas to denounce terrorism as Netanyahu did hate crimes by Israelis against Arabs. Netanyahu said Abbas constantly refuses to negotiate because he knows that would mean declaring an end to the conflict and recognizing Israel as the Jewish state. "[The Palestinians'] refusal to recognize a Jewish state in any borders is and has always been the root of the conflict," he said.
