Giuliani: No Palestinian State Without Recognition Of Israel

Captain's Quarters: Giuliani: No Palestinian State Without Recognition Of Israel

"Rudy Giuliani took a hard turn to the right on foreign policy yesterday in an
essay published in Foreign Affairs magazine. As Eli Lake reports for the New
York Sun, Giuliani eschewed almost two decades of American efforts towards a
two-state solution and demanded Palestinian compliance with lawful governance
before proceeding any further on their national ambitions:"


While he is going to get a lot of press for this, and a lot of people will no doubt be calling it a bold move on his part, it seems like common since. You don't give statehood to a people who are bent on destroying another state. If Palestinians can't learn to accept the existence of Israel, there is no reason that Israel should accept the existence of their state. I know that sounds harsh, and it isn't that simple. This has been a long war, with crimes on both sides, the only way forward is peace and acceptance on all parts.
