Palestinians – they'd rather be killing Jews
Some men will tell a woman anything to seduce her and vice versa. Why? Because it's human nature to say what you have to say when you desire something bad enough. For life, for liberty, for love, you find the words. But how about for land? The land lust the Palestinians have for the Jewish homeland has had them not only salivating at the chops, but has had both peoples dripping with blood and sharing the good earth – underground. Yet what remains most telling of the Palestinian agenda is not so much what they won't do as regards Netanyahu's recent speech, but what they will not say: Israel has the right to exist and is the state of the Jewish people.
And that is why Netanyahu's speech was very wise, despite the naysayers on all sides. (Indeed, it is only the Middle East where you can't please any of the people any of the time.) What Netanyahu's speech served to do was multifold. To start, the location of the speech, held at Bar-Ilan University's Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, was certainly symbolic and a silent call to Arab leadership to emulate the courage of Anwar Sadat. (And by the way, is there a Rabin Center in any Arab University?). But in not mentioning the name of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Netanyahu served to undermine Abbas' already tenuous grip on power and as such sent him – the would-be partner in peace – into a rhetorical tailspin evoking the next intifada. The demonizing of Israel is always a way to galvanize political support for Palestinian leaders. The juxtaposition of Abbas' reaction to Bibi's policy speech that invoked the word "peace" 43 times served well to illustrate the mentality and temperaments Israel is surrounded by. They won't even whisper sweet nothings to get Israel into bed; they just want to shtup them right out. Though the West may refer to Abbas as "a moderate," it may serve to be reminded that he is a Holocaust denier, a denial which was the basis of his Ph.d. thesis, making him a moderate who has a lot in common with Ahmadinejad. And whereas Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map, Abbas has yet to recognize that Israel is on it.
"We want to live with you in peace, as good neighbors," Netanyahu said in his address. "I know the face of war. I have experienced battle. I lost close friends; I lost a brother. I have seen the pain of bereaved families. I do not want war. No one in Israel wants war." But good thing Netanyahu was once coined the man most women would want to share a bomb shelter with, or Abbas' rejection might have left him hurt and lonely. To Bibi's outstretched hand the Palestinians responded: "It's obvious, in the aftermath of this speech, that we are headed toward another round of violence and bloodshed," according to a Haaretz article. If a mere policy speech can launch a new intifada, hmmm, maybe, just maybe the Palestinians aren't quite ready to love their neighbors as themselves.
