There has been much talk lately of the ‘Two State Solution’ as a means of ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Many western leaders have told the Netanyahu administration that this is the only road to a just peace in the region.

Netanyahu agrees! The ‘Two State Solution’ is the only way…. Two States, one for Israelis and the other for extreme rightwing settlers. BUT…… this is not what is meant by the ‘Two State Solution’…… BUT……this is what the Israeli government means.

As Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu prepares for his trip next week to England and Germany, an official in Berlin said Friday that urgent action is needed on the issue of settlements, Reuters reported.

“We and our partners the Americans have made very clear that we see the settlements issue as one of the biggest impediments to a two-state solution,” German Foreign Ministry spokesman Andreas Peschke said. “There must be urgent progress on the settlements to make progress on Middle East peace.”

In a brief statement issued later Friday afternoon, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor rejected the comments, saying “these are disconnected statements, without any diplomatic context. These statements are not part of any diplomatic negotiations, they are unrelated to reality and distort it.”

In the meantime, existing settlements are expanding, new settlements are being built, Palestinian families in East Jerusalem are being evicted from THEIR homes (by Supreme Court Order), and Jewish extremists are moving into those homes.

Netanyahu is not hiding anything from the world. His goals are clear and he intends to achieve them. What is to misunderstand?

WHAT IS TO MISUNDERSTAND????? Why is the United States still paying for this? Why have the nations in the west that have spoken out against these illegal settlements not done anything about it? WHERE ARE THE SANCTIONS? That’s what to misunderstand. There is nothing about zionism that is questionable. They will continue to do what they want, where they want, and if you don’t like it you are going to pay for it anyway.

So, in reality, it is the West that is misunderstood.
