"With caveats, Netanyahu backs state for Palestinians; New stance comes after US pressure" by Josef Federman, Associated Press | June 15, 2009
JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed a Palestinian state beside Israel for the first time yesterday, reversing himself under US pressure but attaching conditions such as having no army that the Palestinians swiftly rejected.
Hey, as soon as Israel gets rid of theirs.
A week after President Obama's address to the Muslim world, Netanyahu said the Palestinian state would also have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, essentially saying Palestinian refugees must give up the goal of returning to Israel.
And that ISRAEL shall be a RACIST, APARTHEID STATE!!!
Yup, ZIONIST RACISTS are the WORST!
With those conditions, he said, he could accept "a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state." The West Bank-based Palestinian government dismissed the proposal....
Would you like their balls in a sack, too, or.... ? Pffft!
This is a NON-STARTER if I've ever seen one!
Just another S*** FOOLEY in my jewspaper!
Netanyahu, in an address seen as his response to Obama, refused to heed the US call for an immediate freeze of construction on lands Palestinians claim for their future state.
How you gonna get a state out of this?
See: Israel Settles Up With Obama
He also said the holy city of Jerusalem must remain under Israeli sovereignty.
See: Israel's Plans For the Middle East (fourth item down)
The White House said Obama welcomed the speech as an "important step forward."
Yeah, about a centimeter -- on which Israel then built a settlement.
Yesterday, Netanyahu appeared to favor Israel's all-important relationship with the United States at the risk of destabilizing his government. But his call for establishing a Palestinian state was greeted with lukewarm applause among the audience at Bar-Ilan University, known as a bastion of the Israeli right-wing establishment.
Ya meet one NaZionist you've met them all.
As Netanyahu spoke, two small groups of protesters demonstrated at the university's entrance. Several dozen hard-liners held up posters showing Obama wearing an Arab headdress and shouted slogans against giving up West Bank territory.
Well, I'd like it, but.... Israel Sends Obama a Warning
Also watch: Can You Feel the Hate?
You know, if you FEEL THAT WAY about OUR PRESIDENT, then SEND the $$$$ back, you detestable piece of swine!
Across from them, a few dozen dovish Israelis and foreign backers chanted slogans including "Two states for two peoples" and "Stop the occupation."
May GOD BLESS THEM!!!!
The two states idea is gone (see map above); however: Memory Hole: Future Vision of Israel
Police kept the two groups apart. The Palestinians demand all of the West Bank as part of a future state, with east Jerusalem as their capital. Israel captured both areas in the 1967 Mideast war.
I'm TIRED of the ISRAELI BIAS of my AmeriKan jewspapers, readers. That's why you get the typo.
"Our right to form our sovereign state here in the land of Israel stems from one simple fact. The Land of Israel is the birthplace of the Jewish people," Netanyahu said.
Yeah, except Palestinians Are the REAL Jews!!!
Bibi and his ilk are TRANSPLANTED KHAZARS from EASTERN EUROPE!!!!
But Netanyahu also said that Israel must recognize that millions of Palestinians live in the West Bank, and continued control over these people is undesirable....
Hence the GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN of SEIGE and MURDER!
Netanyahu has said he fears the West Bank could follow the path of the Gaza Strip - which the Palestinians also claim for their future state. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and Hamas militants now control the area, often firing rockets into southern Israel.
Yup, NOTHING about HAMAS WINNING ELECTIONS and LIES about the ROCKET FIRE!!!

It is the SAME DAMN THING every stinking day with my AmeriKan jewspaper!!!!!!
And in TYPICAL ZIONIST FASHION:
"If we get this guarantee for demilitarization and necessary security arrangements for Israel, and if the Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people, we will be willing in a real peace agreement to reach a solution of a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state," he said.
F*** YOU, Bibi!
And check out this bulls*** propaganda!
Netanyahu became the latest in a series of Israeli hard-liners to soften their positions after assuming office. Earlier this decade, then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon led Israel out of Gaza before suffering a debilitating stroke.
His successor, Ehud Olmert, spoke eloquently of the need to withdraw from the West Bank, though a corruption scandal and a disastrous war in Lebanon prevented him from carrying out that vision.

All Israeli Politicians Are Corrupt
Netanyahu gave no indication as to how much captured land he would be willing to relinquish.
How about NONE? He's EXPANDING SETTLEMENTS for God's sake!
However, he ruled out a division of Jerusalem, saying, "Israel's capital will remain united."
I already heard that once in this article!
Netanyahu also made no mention of uprooting Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Because he DOES NOT INTEND to DO THAT!
Nearly 300,000 Israelis live in the West Bank, in addition to 180,000 Israelis living in Jewish neighborhoods built in east Jerusalem.

He also said that existing settlements should be allowed to grow, a position opposed by the U.S.

Palestinians didn't take to kindly to those remarks -- at least, the ones the Zionist MSM talked to:
RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian officials sought US and European help to salvage foundering peacemaking yesterday after tough terms were laid out by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, but they stopped short of refusing to resume negotiations.
Palestinian disappointment was echoed in capitals across the Arab world, where leaders accused Netanyahu of setting more obstacles in the path of an already stymied peace process.
Laying out his Mideast policy in a speech Sunday, Netanyahu bent to US pressure and backed down on decades of opposition to Palestinian statehood. He invited the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world to resume peace talks.
Except he did nothing of the sort, and he "invited" the Palestinians and the Arabs to talk peace, huh?
However, he removed from the negotiating agenda the fate of Palestinian refugees displaced by Israel's 1948 creation and said Israel would retain sovereignty over all of Jerusalem, two issues previous Israeli governments had agreed to negotiate. Netanyahu also said he would keep building in Jewish settlements on land claimed by the Palestinians, despite a US demand for a complete freeze....
How is that bending to U.S. pressure?
Palestinians did not want to be cast in the role of rejectionists and did not rule out the resumption of talks that broke off late last year.... The European Union also said Netanyahu's endorsement was a step in the right direction.
Yeah, a whole two centimeters.
At the same time, Netanyahu's nationalist tone, tough conditions, and vague language on peacemaking appeared to avert a crisis in his hawkish coalition, where there was strong opposition to the US pressure.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, most powerful hard-liner in Netanyahu's government, said the prime minister's speech outlined "the balance between our aspirations for peace and the aspiration for security."
That's just an excuse not to make peace.
