Yesterday The Times of Israel<\/a> posted a story quoting Palestinian Authority President<\/a> Mahmoud Abbas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said there is \u201cno way\u201d he will recognize Israel as a Jewish state<\/a> and accept a Palestinian capital in just a portion of Israeli<\/a>-annexed east Jerusalem, rebuffing what Palestinians<\/a> fear will be key elements of a US<\/a> peace proposal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Speaking to youth activists of his Fatah party, he suggested he would stand firm again, particularly over the demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are pressing and saying, \u2018no peace without the Jewish state,\u2019\u201d he said, though not spelling out who is applying the pressure. \u201cThere is no way. We will not accept.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I may be missing something here, but it seems to me that if Palestine is demanding to recognized as a state that they should also be willing to recognize Israel as a state. I have seen the maps drawn by various Arab countries that do not include Israel, and it seems to me that if we are ever going to have peace in the Middle East<\/a> that kind of foolishness has to stop. If the Palestinian government is going to demand recognition as a Palestinian state<\/a>, they should be willing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.<\/p>\n

In case you are new to reading this blog, I am going to end this article with something I have quoted before. To me, this quote sums up the history of the Palestinians. It is a quote by Walid Shoebat<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cWhy is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?\u201d There has never been a Palestinian state (unless you consider Jordan, which is made up of land promised to Israel and then given to the Arabs to form a Palestinian state and then given to the Hashemites when they were driven out of Mecca). The whole argument for a Palestinian state is a rewriting of history. The land has never belonged to the Palestinians–the British called it Palestine as an affront to the Jews<\/a>.
