Netanyahu Says Any Future Palestinian State Would Be a Platform to Destroy Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he wanted peace with Palestinians but described any future independent state as a platform to destroy Israel and for that reason sovereign power of security must remain with Israel.
Speaking at the White House, where he met US President Donald Trump, Netanyahu described the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, where Hamas was in control, as evidence of what Palestinians would do with a state.
Trump said, "I don't know" when he was asked by reporters if a two-state solution was possible and referred the question to Netanyahu.

Our Take: Netanyahu is not backing down, in light of last week’s disclosure of the letter sent by 15 members of the Likud party, who all serve in Netanyahu’s cabinet, demanding that Netanyahu must immediately annex the West Bank and make Palestine part of Israel.

What makes the development notable is that the ministers making this request are not from the faction(s) of radicalized zealots that now serve in the Security Cabinet – the highest ranking officials in the Israeli government.
And yet, these ministers sound just as unhinged and out of control as the radicalized zealots.
The Likud ministers will find strong allies in the Ultra-Orthodox zealots serving in Netanyahu’s security cabinet. It would appear that it has become the ambition of many top Israeli political parties that a war with Palestine is not only necessary, but just.
As I have long speculated: removing Netanyahu from the equation will not resolve the underlying wars – because these other political factions also want wars of imperialism.
This clip from last night that is now making the rounds on social media is a perfect example of Trump elevating Netanyahu in order to demonstrate to the world the true Israeli agenda.
When Trump says that Bibi is the “greatest man in the world to answer the question of a Two-State Solution,” he isn’t paying Netanyahu a compliment. He is alluding to the fact that it was a Netanyahu sycophant who murdered Israeli Prime Minister in 1995, paving the way for Netanyahu’s first stint as PM, but also halting the effort for Israel to normalize relations with Palestine.
Trump knows what Bibi is planning, because Trump has already publicly disclosed that he views Netanyahu as an untrustworthy partner who does not want to make a deal with Palestine, while lauding the current Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, as a “father-like figure.”

Another Take: I don't call Donald Trump the 'Master of Narrative Warfare' for nothing.
For those of us who believe Trump actually engages MORE on the narrative battlespace than the kinetic one, we don't just consider the mass psychological effects of the Israel-Iran storyline, nor mounting (optical) tensions with Russia as second-order effects of the actual events playing out.
Quite the opposite.
We believe the actuals are often second-order effects on the back of the narratives the Sovereign Alliance wants to tell and sell.
So, how is Trump not just controlling the narrative battlespace, but shifting it into a new domain as the summer appropriately heats up in order to accelerate the necessary philosophical and cognitive sifting?
In short, why does Trump keep bringing up the 'N' word?

ReplyDeleteGiving the WB to Harm-ass would be a disaster. Iran’s attack from 3,000km away proves it. WB is literally a stones throw from all of Isaac land.
