A Palestinian state, But - Israel

BBC News: Reports on a speech by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli PM accepted a Palestinian State but placed on conditions on that acceptance, as the NYT states the following, " but on condition that the state is demilitarized and that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people. " In other words it was two words to President Obama " Get Lost ", any state worth the name has a military, can control its own skies. A Palestinian State would need its own Army even for internal control, also it might not have an Air Force but it might like one in the future. This is a bit like Iran, the pretence of Democracy that is shallow, thus this offer by the Israeli PM. Those that are kind to read this blog will be a bit surprised by this post, this blog since its creation has defend the right of Israeli to protect itself against any threat but every people have a right to a nation, these conditions are a big veto on any Obama Plan. The Obama Administration might have to place some more pressure on Israel, of course any future Palestinian State could not be a threat to Israel, and also that state would have to accept that Israel is a Jewish State, thus no right of return to those that left Israel after the creation of Israel in the 1940s. This is why US Presidents leave the Middle East for their second term, never good to have a policy go down the toilet, also lets get real, if Iran go nuclear, the USA will need Israel to bomb Iran. Thus Obama does not hold all the aces when it comes to the Middle East, Israel has the final Ace.
