And our national interest is not to have a Palestinian state. What country in the world really bases it`s policy on morality or justice? Such a thing has never existed & will never exist. That`s not how the world works.
Now, admittedly, politicians can easily misunderstand their country`s national interest, they can have selfish motives, they can confuse their personal interest with the interests of the state, & they need an ideology or position that sells. Even dictatorships need some popular support.
We don`t need to apologize or rationalize why an independant Palestine is not in our interest - the facts are ever so evident. All wishful thinking notwithstanding, a Palestinian state will fail - and we will have a bigger problem than today. All this discussion of "having a partner" is meaningless BS. Our only real national interest is to our security & whatever we need to do to maintain our security, regardless of the consequences to our neighbors, is what policy should be based on |
