#389 – Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel, Palestine, Power, Corruption, Hate, and Peace

on a politician, a politician's surroundings, to try to shake them down in investigations, put them in flea-ridden cells for 21 days, invite their 84-year-old mother to investigations without cause, bringing in their mistresses in the corridor, shaking them down.

Well, I think the reason you have the persistence of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which goes back about a century, is the persistent Palestinian refusal to recognize a Jewish state, a nation state for the Jewish people in any boundary. That's why they opposed the establishment of the state of Israel before we had a state, and that's why they've opposed it after we had a state.

They opposed it when we didn't have Judea and Samaria, the West Bank in our heads, and Gaza, and they opposed it after we have it. It doesn't make a difference. It's basically their persistent refusal to recognize a Jewish state in any boundaries, and I think their tragedy is that they've been

commandeered for a century by leadership that refused to compromise with the idea of Zionism, namely that the Jews deserve a state in this part of the world. The territorial dispute is something else. You have a territorial dispute if you say, okay, you're living on this side, we're living on that side, let's decide where the border is, and so That's not what the argument is.

The Palestinian society, which is itself fragmented, but all the factions agree there shouldn't be a Jewish state anywhere, okay? They just disagree between Hamas that says, oh, well, you should have it, you know, we should get rid of it with terror, and the others who say, no, we should also use political means to dissolve it. So that is the problem.

So even as part of a two-state solution, they're still against the idea? Well, they don't want a state next to Israel. They want a state instead of Israel. And they say, if we get a state, we'll use it as a springboard to destroy the smaller Israeli state, which is what happened when Israel unilaterally walked out of Gaza and effectively established a Hamas state there.

They didn't say, oh, good, now we have our own territory, our own state. Israel is no longer there. Let's build peace. Let's build economic projects. Let's enfranchise our people. No, they turned it basically into a terror bastion from which they fired 10,000 rockets into Israel.
