Great day for Israel & the civilized world:
Netanyahu bids a final farewell to 2-state "solution" that he spoke of in his Obama-era Bar-Ilan policy speech
THE EXACT QUOTE:
"You can bring theoretical models, (which) say it will be good if we give them (Palestinian Arabs) a state. Empirically -- it doesn't work"
"You can bring theoretical models, (which) say it will be good if we give them (Palestinian Arabs) a state. Empirically -- it doesn't work"
THE REASON
A "state" has absolute military powers; this is impossible in an area just a bike-ride away from Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion airport.
While a few states like Costa Rica and Japan are de-militarized, ALL de-militarized states have an inherent right to re-arm whenever they (e.g. by changing their constitution or even simply by ignoring it).
That is exactly what a "state" means in international law – total independence to run your area in your own way. Including applying military force to whom you want, however you want, whenever you want, at your own sole discretion.
