FM: Two states essential to quell threat of 'refugee' 'return'

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Tuesday there was no choice but to go along with the "two state" vision if Israel wants to be established "as a Jewish, democratic and secure state."

According to The Jerusalem Post, Livni sees the ongoing Israeli-"Palestinian" peace talks as an essential vehicle for instilling the notion of two states in the hearts of the two peoples to ensure that the so-called refugees are never allowed to return and flood the truncated, indefensible half-state which is all that will be left of Israel.

To forestall this, Livni insists, the only thing Israel can do is cede parts of its ancient land.

The internationally-supported Arab position is that it is the "Palestinians" who are being asked to cede land to the Jews.

From the start of Israeli-"Palestinian" negotiations at Madrid in 1991, the Arab side has remained immovable in its demands, including the central demand for the "right of return" of the "refugees."

History has recorded a consistent slipping and erosion of Israel's position under massive pressure from America and the rest of the world to compromise its red lines.
