Two States One State

During a meeting with Palestinian Mahmoud Abbas today, President Obama promised to make a redoubled effort to give his people their own state.  But why?

Abbas is a man whose presidency of something called the Palestinian Authority expired over four years ago.  He exercises no control over the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip which is run by the terrorist organization, Hamas.  And the majority of Palestinians – even those who are not, at least for the moment, openly supportive of Hamas – seek the destruction of Israel.

Worst of all, President Obama insists Israel must surrender land essential to its security to such people.  This is not a formula for a two-state solution, but for one without Israel.  It must be rejected  not only by Israelis, but by all Americans who stand with them.
