(Jerusalem Post) Melanie Phillips - In a spectacular display of ignorance, moral illiteracy and malice, Britain's House of Commons this week, by 274 votes to 12, voted to "recognize the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel." The Commons vote may encourage other countries to follow suit. It also threatens to deepen the Middle East conflict. A state of Palestine cannot precede a two-state solution. It has to be negotiated into existence, not least because of the evidence that its real purpose is as a beachhead to destroy Israel. Unilaterally declaring a Palestine state tears up the Oslo treaty committing both sides to such a negotiation, thus destroying the peace process. Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly said (in Arabic) that the Palestinians will never accept the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. His PA glorifies those who murder Israelis, and teaches Palestinian children to hate and kill Jews. These are the people the MPs declared have a "right" to a state. If Israel were to depart the West Bank it would be overrun by Hamas or other Islamists, maybe even Islamic State. This is what the UK Parliament has now so warmly endorsed. 2014-10-17 00:00:00Full Article
