On 5/12/02, Benjamin Netanyahu “…explained to the Likud's Central Committee why Israel must oppose the creation of a sovereign Palestinian [Arab] state.

 

Netanyahu warned that if a sovereign Palestinian state were established, thatit would be impossible to enforce security restrictions and limitations onit, and that once created, .the sovereign Palestinian state would continueto exist even though it defied the terms of the agreement under which it wasestablished.”

 

Now Netanyahu restricts himself to conditioning statehood on eradicating terrorism.  Informed people know that the Arabs have no intention of doing so.  If they thought about it, and few do, they would understand that this is Netanyahu’s way of denying statehood.  Unfortunately, few people think about it. 

 

Netanyahu is not demolishing the falsehood on which the State Dept. demands for Israeli concessions are based  (Dr. Aaron Lerner, http://www.imra.org.il/ -- Independent Media Research & Analysis, 6/11).

 

Cannot trust Netanyahu.  He has used slippery wording to give an impression that gains him support and votes, but then betrays his countrymen’s understanding and cites the opposite interpretation in that same wording.
