« Hamas Plots to Murder | Main | Iran Deal: No Plan B » Germany Says Dialogue is the Only Way
By Micah Halpern
Saturday November 22, 2014 "I've Been Thinking:" The move to recognize Palestine has been dizzying. Parliament after parliament, country after country, has been voting in support of Palestinian state recognition. But Germany has said no. On Friday German Chancellor Merkel announced, rather emphatically, that Germany supports a two-state solution and "we see how difficult that is, so we also believe that unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state won't move us forward." Merkel explained that the two sides look distant right now and dialogue is not immediately on the horizon. She said "that appears very difficult in the current conditions." She continued saying that none the less it should be clear - the only way to create a Palestinian state is through dialogue and not through fiat and votes in parliaments around the world. Merkel is correct. A Palestinian state will only emerge through an agreement with Israel. Because, in the end, a Palestinian state can not exist without the support of Israel. I just wish everyone else understood what Merkel understands. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
