During a breakfast briefing hosted by the Christian Science Monitor on Tuesday,No apology, no shame. And not a word of dissent or criticism from the E.U., the U.S.A., or the international leftist peace movement.
Palestinian Ambassador to the United States Maen Rashid Areikat reiterated his
call to create a Jew-free Palestinian state.
“Well, I personally still believe that as a first step we need to be totally separated, and we can contemplate these issues in the future,” he said when asked by The Daily Caller if he could imagine a Jew being elected mayor of the Palestinian city of Ramallah in a future independent Palestinian state. “But after the experience of 44 years of military occupation and all the conflict and friction, I think it will be in the best interests of the two peoples to be separated first.”
Last year, Areikat made a similar statement during an interview with
Tablet magazine. Asked whether it would be neccessary to transfer and remove
“every Jew” from a future Palestinian state, Areikat responded “absolutely.”
“I’m not saying to transfer every Jew, I’m saying transfer Jews who,
after an agreement with Israel, fall under the jurisdiction of a Palestinian
state,” he said then. “I think this is a very necessary step, before we can
allow the two states to somehow develop their separate national identities, and
then maybe open up the doors for all kinds of cultural, social, political,
economic exchanges, that freedom of movement of both citizens of Israelis and
Palestinians from one area to another. You know you have to think of the day
after.”
Genesis 12:2-4 will undoubtedly apply.
