The Israeli government Sunday set the Jewish state once more on course towards destruction by opening the door for the creation of a Fatah-controlled Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.
In their weekly cabinet meeting, all except two of the ministers approved a proposal by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to recognize the newly appointed Palestinian Authority and release hundreds of millions of dollars in suspended tax funds to help get PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas on his feet.
Israel’s move – which is wholeheartedly approved by the US administration – comes after Abbas showed himself incapable of exercising what authority he had been given over the previously Hamas-controlled PA.
As such, Olmert has moved to establish an artificial Israel-and-US-created entity, and has provided it with a temporary life-support system in the hope that by doing so the Arabs on the street will swing their support behind Fatah and away from Hamas.
Apparently lost behind this smokescreen is the reality that Abbas and his Fatah are antisemitic terrorists whose hands are drenched with the blood of Jews, and who remain as committed as Hamas to eradicating the Jewish state from the Middle East albeit as secularites rather than Islamists.
Right-thinking Israelis and Christian Zionists have warned about the folly of continuing on a path whose premise has already been proven bankrupt, which has terribly eroded Israel’s security, and which has cost the lives of thousands of Jews.
