Government of Israel: No Peace deal will be agreed to which demands that the West Bank be Judenrein

IOW: The settlements stay.

FROM A CLEAR STATEMENT FROM ONE OF BIBI'S SENIOR ADVISORS: JPOST:
Israel should not have to remove any settlements in a peace agreement with the Palestinians, Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya’alon has told The Jerusalem Post, adding that just as Arabs live in Israel, so, too, should Jews be able to live in a future Palestinian entity.

“If we are talking about coexistence and peace, why the [Palestinian] insistence that the territory they receive be ethnically cleansed of Jews?” Ya’alon asked during a wide-ranging interview that will appear in the Post’s Yom Ha’atzmaut supplement on Monday.

“Why do those areas have to be Judenrein?” he asked. “Don’t Arabs live here, in the Negev and the Galilee? Why isn’t that part of our public discussion? Why doesn’t that scream to the heavens?”

Ya’alon said that if Israel and the Palestinians were truly headed down the path of peace and coexistence, “Jews living in Judea and Samaria under Israeli sovereignty and citizenship” should be possible.

He stressed that “no settlement” should be removed, and that the country’s previous withdrawals – from Lebanon and from Gaza – strengthened Hizbullah and Hamas, respectively.

“That is opposed to our strategic interest and to the strategic interests of the West,” he said.

Ya’alon, who sits on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s top decision-making body, known as the septet, and is among those deliberating on how to reply to US President Barack Obama’s reported demands for a construction freeze in east Jerusalem, said Israel must not give in on the issue.

“We cannot fold on Jerusalem. What is Jerusalem? It is Zion,” he said.
WE'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS, (2005!).

THE ROOT PROBLEM IS THAT THE ARABS DON'T WANT PEACE; THEY WANT A JUDENREIN WORLD.

Actually, we have been saying it since 2003 (since I am now a we). My 2003 article: Any Palestinian state must contain and protect Jews

The Pseudostinians, at least their "leadership," have as their goal the destruction of Israel.

No way will the Pseudostinians ever head down the path of peace -- except with a hudna.

Astute . . . Do you wonder where the middle east is headed? The Arab Muslims are driven by a minority of vicious radicals within their midst. They are powerful enough to control, one way or another, the entire region except little precious ISRAEL. America has closely supported Israel since 1948. They have grown to be a powerhouse nation despite their small size. America has helped them a bit from time to time, and NOW is no time to spit on them and turn away. They need us as a reliable ally to help defend and support their existence. The Desert Arabs that overwhelmingly surround them are not going to accept Israel peacefully. The enemy is Islamic fundamental, fanatical, extremism. We need to make certain that the rest of the world understands that these same Muslim criminals threaten good people everywhere. They are dangerous to every non-Islamic society. THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF ISRAEL AND THEIR STRUGGLE TO EXIST. They can manifest that support by cleaning out the Muslim fanatics in their neighborhood. So let's get it done!
