In reply to the discussion: 'Abbas claims Zionists, Nazis linked before WWII' [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)38. Yes. Bennett supports making Palestine Arabrein.
It's right there in his party's platform.
In reality, shira, none of the Palestinian leaders would be absolutely rigid on full physical RoR-and RoR isn't related to the settlement blocs issue at all.
If the Palestinians totally renounced RoR, gave on having East Jerusalem as their capital(it's not like there's anywhere else they could realistically have it, you know)AND accepted all the settlement blocs, Netanyahu would still say "not enough"...and then, the next day, he'd greenlight ANOTHER illegal settlement.
And YOU would defend him on that in this group.

I won't help you derail this thread. Why don't u stick to the topic rather than deflect to Bennett?

The problem is, you're demanding that they give up ANY RoR as a precondition.
