Historical quote: Former Meretz leader blasts the 2-state solution

Not since the time of Dr. Goebbels has there ever been a case in which continual repetition of a lie has borne such great fruits... Of all the Palestinian lies there is no lie greater ... than that which calls for the establishment of a separate Palestinian state in the West Bank"  – Dr. Amnon Rubinstein, former minister for Meretz, "Palestinian Lies," Haaretz, July 30, 1976  - cited by Dr. Martin Sherman in his Jerusalem Post column, 19.5.15
 
Wikipedia cites the government-sponsored Israel Prize award committee who commended Amnon Rubinstein as "the founding father of Israeli constitutional law. In both his profound academic writings and his diverse public activities, he advances the values of democracy, equality and human rights. In the legal and public arena in Israel , there are few who can equal Prof. Amnon Rubinstein's contribution ... as a brilliant researcher and legal expert."
