Text of PM Binyamin Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress
We must also find a way to forge a lasting peace with the Palestinians. Two years ago, I publicly committed to a solution of two states for two peoples: A Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state.
I am willing to make painful compromises to achieve this historic peace. As the leader of Israel, it is my responsibility to lead my people to peace.
This is not easy for me. I recognize that in a genuine peace, we will be required to give up parts of the Jewish homeland.
But there is another truth: The Palestinians share this small land with us. We seek a peace in which they will be neither Israel’s subjects nor its citizens. They should enjoy a national life of dignity as a free, viable and independent people in their own state. They should enjoy a prosperous economy, where their creativity and initiative can flourish.
We've already seen the beginnings of what is possible.
Laudable remarks had they had been made in good faith, which they were not. In 2011 Bibi told Americans what we most wanted to hear. That he was ready to be reasonable and seek some kind of settlement to the conflict that has gone on for decades.
Then yesterday in his desperation to win his election Binyamin Netanyahu revealed his true feelings on the issue of two states, pandering directly to some Israeli voters' racist feelings towards the Palestinians.
Netanyahu Says No to Statehood for Palestinians
By JODI RUDOREN
JERUSALEM — Under pressure on the eve of a surprisingly close election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Monday doubled down on his appeal to right-wing voters, declaring definitively that if he was returned to office he would never establish a Palestinian state.
The statement reversed Mr. Netanyahu’s endorsement of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a 2009 speech at Bar Ilan University, and fulfilled many world leaders’ suspicions that he was never really serious about peace negotiations.
Without a doubt those skeptical world leaders included Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
we are seeing without a doubt those of the right wing globally are deceptive and operate with one agenda in mind the one that is chuck full of right wing aggression's. we thought Beohner and the boyz were out of line they were but it was not as innocent as they tried to make it. both right wing zealots get together and form a plan to get Bibi re-elected while slapping Pres. 1 for 1.
i still believe the ulterior motive was war with Iran of late that is the topic within the topic peace only discussed by Progressives and the Pres. and the P5. this calls for a ground swell of Americans to stop this march and manipulations of foreign governments as well as ours. we know at least the next two years our loved ones are safe from the ravages of war but after 2016 only we the people hold the strings to that purse whether we use them to tighten and keep the things of war from the treasure or we open them and doom more Americans to death not at home.
