ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE   ZOA Praises PM Netanyahu for Opposing Creation of Palestinian Arab (Terrorist Dictatorship) State Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Research and Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement: ZOA strongly praises Israel’s longest-serving prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for clearly opposing the creation of a Palestinian Arab (terrorist dictatorship ) state yesterday. PM Netanyahu stated and repeated during a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting: “We need to eliminate their [Palestinian Authority Arabs’] aspirations for a state." ZOA is pleased that PM Netanyahu reaffirmed his many past statements opposing a Palestinian Arab state, which would surely be a terrorist dictatorship, despite the Biden administration’s wrongful, illegal, dangerous pressures to create this Iran/Hamas state along Israel’s longest border. The Biden administration needs to be disabused of its harmful, violence-inducing, even naive aspirations to create a Palestinian Arab state on Israel’s lawful, historic, Balfour declaration-given, League of Nations-given, UN-given, G-d-given lands in Judea/Samaria and Jerusalem. (See, e.g., ZOA: Israel’s Legal Right to the Land of Israel.) PM Netanyahu’s past statements include: In a famous 2002 speech to the Likud Central Committee, Netanyahu correctly explained that a Palestinian Arab state would never keep a demilitarization agreement; would make alliances with foreign powers; would import weapons; would shoot down Israeli planes; and would result in Israel being blamed and stopped if Israel attempted to enforce demilitarization. If Israel agreed to a Palestinian Arab state, “We will thus have created with our own hands a threat to our very existence.” In 2015, Netanyahu promised that he will not allow a Palestinian Arab state, and said: “Whoever moves to establish a Palestinian state or intends to withdraw from territory is simply yielding territory for radical Islamic terrorist attacks against Israel.” In July 2017, Netanyahu’s Likud Party (Israel’s largest political party) formally voted to oppose forming a Palestinian Arab state. In March 2018, Netanyahu stated in The New York Times that a Palestinian state “doesn’t work. . . . When we leave land, Arab terror organizations take over. Immediately.”   READ MORE   View our comprehensive list of Biden administration appointments that have expressed hostile-to-Israel prejudices here.   Share This Email Share This Email   Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
