Netanyahu’s time to choose
Jerusalem Post ^ | Caroline Glick

Posted on 04/29/2011 10:50:01 AM PDT by ventanax5

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s response to the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority’s peace deal with Hamas would be funny if it weren’t tragic. Immediately after the news broke of the deal Netanyahu announced, “The PA must choose either peace with Israel or peace with Hamas. There is no possibility for peace with both.”

Netanyahu’s statement is funny because it is completely absurd. The PA has chosen.

The PA made the choice in 2000 when it rejected Israel’s offer of peace and Palestinian statehood and joined forces with Hamas to wage a terror war against Israel.

The PA made the choice in 2005 again when it responded to Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza with a tenfold increase in the number of rockets and missiles it fired on Israeli civilian targets in the Negev.

The Palestinians made the choice in 2006, when they elected Hamas to rule over them.

They made the choice in March 2007 when Fatah and Hamas signed their first unity deal.

The PA made the choice in 2008 when Abbas rejected then-prime minister Ehud Olmert’s offer of statehood and peace.

The PA made the choice in 2010 when it refused to reinstate peace negotiations with Netanyahu; began peace negotiations with Hamas; and escalated its plan to establish an independent state without peace with Israel.

“The PA must choose either peace with Israel or peace with Hamas. There is no possibility for peace with both.”

What's controversial about that?

Hamas wants Israel and all Israelis wiped off the face of the earth.

How can you "compromise" with that?

If Glick weere brighter, she would realize that Netanyahu fully realizes that the PA has chosen. What he is doing is educating the educable portions of the international public and Israel about what is inevitably coming.

She’s very sharp, but then again, she’s not a FReeper, so she won’t pick up all of the subtleties.

Watch Bibi-the-Overrated try after all the tough talk.

Watch Obama insist on it.
