When discussing the Israel-Arab conflict, everyone today will tell you that the two-state solution is the only resolution to end the conflict. Although this belief is presently considered the internationally accepted view, it was originally the Arab talking-point. Naive westerners today believe that the Arabs want a two-state solution as a final resolution to end the fighting, and to create a final status. This however is not what the Arabs want, nor what they say to each other, and it never has been. They don’t want peace with Israel, they want to destroy Israel. The tactics might have changed, but the goal has not! This won’t stop them from lying to naive western politicians, and slobbering western journalists however because doing so has been the most successful tactic in helping them achieve their final goal.
What the Arabs are willing to say to their own however, has always tended to be more candid.

(IsraelNN.com) Palestinian Authority representative in Lebanon Abbas Zaki says the two-state solution is his preferred approach, as it will lead to Israel’s collapse.
Speaking with Lebanese ANB Television on May 7, Zaki said that any ceasefire, or hudna, deal with Israel is not desirable. Instead, the long-time PLO member said, “we must go towards the two-state solution, a solution that even [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmedinajad supports.”
“In my opinion,” Zaki explained, “with such a solution, Israel will collapse. Because if they get out of Jerusalem, what will be left of all their [the Jews’] talk about the Promised Land and the Chosen Nation? What will be with all the sacrifices they gave and then they are told to leave?”
The two-state solution, supported by the United States and most of the world, calls for a Palestinian Authority state in Judea and Samaria, leaving Israel barely 11 miles wide in some areas.
Zaki said that Jews and Israelis “perceive of Jerusalem as having a spiritual status. They relate to Judea and Samaria as a historic dream. If the Jews leave these places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse of itself – and then we will move forward.”
The interview was brought to the Western eye by Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Zaki has made similar points before. In 2008, the former Palestinian Legislative Council member for Hevron, former Fatah operations head, and current PLO Central Council member said, “When the ideology of Israel collapses, and we take, at least, Jerusalem, the Israeli ideology will collapse in its entirety, and we will begin to progress with our own ideology, Allah willing, and drive them out of all of Palestine.” Zaki also headed the PLO Lebanon Committee and the Palestine National Liberation Army’s political commissariat.
Asked then if he believes in weapons or negotiations, Zaki replied, “The use of weapons alone will not bring results, and the use of politics without weapons will not bring results. We act on the basis of our extensive experience. We analyze our situation carefully. We know what climate leads to victory and what climate leads to suicide. We talk politics, but our principles are clear. It was our pioneering leader, Yasser Arafat, who persevered with this revolution, when empires collapsed.”

To those willing to be realistic when discussing the Arab-Israel conflict, Zaki’s statements are not surprising nor new. It has always been the goal of the Arabs (who then created the “Palestinians”) to destroy Israel, never to make peace.
They tried all out war, and failed miserably. Therefore, they changed their tactics to terrorism. Although reasonably successful on this front, it wasn’t accomplishing their ultimate goal of total destruction of the Jewish State, so they have moved on to what we could cynically call diplomacy.
As Zaki alludes to, none of this is by chance or fate – it is all ACCORDING TO THE 1974 P.L.O. PHASED PLAN for Israel’s destruction!
Before Obama was elected, many Jews were insisting he was pro-Israel, and 78% of American Jews voted for him. I was not among them: a year ago, a Jewish writer attacked me for saying that Obama was not pro-Israel. Now that he has been president for over 100 days, how has that worked out? It is worth revisiting that May 2008 article, for it is revealing of the false assumptions that all too many Jews had and still have.
