Israeli Hardliners Reject Palestinian Statehood, Want War, Not Peace!

• Israeli Hardliners Reject Palestinian Statehood, Want War, Not Peace!

  Israel and America give rogue state governance new meaning. Both are ruthless warrior states. Living by the sword is longstanding. Naked aggression is official policy. So is partnering in each other’s high crimes. 
  –
  Premeditated dirty wars without mercy repeat with disturbing regularity. Israel and America are like Ukraine. Infested with fascists making policy. Israeli Economy Minister/Bayit Yehudi party leader Naftali Bennett is more hardline than Netanyahu.
  –
  Haaretz calls him “israel’s real leader and navigator.” He threatens the entire region. Perhaps world peace. He wants settlement construction accelerated, all valued West Bank land confiscated, Jerusalem exclusively for Jews, no Palestinian state, and war, not peace.
  –
  It’s hard imagining a more ruthless, unaccountable, merciless agenda. Bennett hopes one day to be prime minister. He, ultranationalist defrocked/reinstated Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and retired General Yoav Galant are vying to become Israel’s next defense minister.
  –
  Each tries to look more hardline than the others. Galant said “(i)n war, we have to win. We can’t live with a tie.” “The public needs to think who it wants to lead the fighting – he who proved he knows how to win, or those who hesitate and lack courage and leadership.”
  –
  He accused current Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon of lacking creativity. He didn’t kill and maim enough Palestinians last summer. Or turn all Gaza to rubble. He vowed its next war “will be much shorter (with) much higher-quality results.”
  –
  “(I)n such a sensitive issue like defense, it would be appropriate for someone who understands the area to deal with it, and Liberman does not understand it.”
