NETANYAHU'S SPEECH

Reader comment on item: Assessing Binyamin Netanyahu's Speech at Bar-Ilan University

Submitted by JACQUES HADIDA (United States), Jun 18, 2009 at 21:06

DEAR DANIEL

Let me say that Netanyahu and you and me, we all know that the Arab hatred towards the Jew is so "intrinsic" to their culture, that anything one proposes that tries to erase that status will go against any acceptance.

I smiled when I heard Bibi suggesting a Palestinian state a la ANDORA when all these years I was suggesting it becomes a MONACO.

Indeed a principality , is like a state but with no army for it will be the last thing any Israeli will accept to have an armed neighbor who hates him and wishes his destruction

In a way his speech sounded good to Obama, as he used the idea of a Palestinain state but you and I know it is the last thing we want.

I always thought there will never be a solution, yet today with this new idea, I will go for it. But is there an Arab who will listen to common sense?

Islam is not about to change and nor will the Arab mind. so let's keep the status-quo
