- Every Palestinian child knows that if presidential elections were held today, the terrorist group Hamas would win. The most recent PSR poll, published one month before the Hamas massacre, showed that 58% of the Palestinians would vote for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as opposed to 37% for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The poll also showed that 58% of the Palestinian public supports “armed confrontations and intifada” against Israel.
- Abbas and the Palestinian Authority have proven again and again that they hate Israel as much, if not more, than Hamas hates Israel.
- There is a dangerously false idea that Abbas or any other Palestinian leader would rein in Hamas in the West Bank. Abbas has no problem with Hamas operating in the West Bank, as long as the terrorist group is targeting Israel, and not him or the Palestinian Authority leadership…. but everyone who lives in the West Bank and Gaza Strip knows that this is a lethal lie.
- Creating a Palestinian state in the West Bank would mean turning it into another Iran-led base for Jihad against Jews.
- What appears to be missed by many in the West is that it is Israel’s security and civilian presence in the West Bank that is preventing Hamas, or groups such as Al Qaeda or ISIS, from seizing control of the area.
- It is high time for Biden and other Western leaders to stop pushing delusional ideas that will quickly lead to a repeat of the October 7 massacre. How many Jewish babies must be beheaded or baked alive in an oven, one wonders, for them to see that Palestinian leaders have radicalized their people against Israel to a point where they brag about slaughtering Jews with their own hands.

Since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank have been taking to the streets almost on a daily basis to voice support for the Iran-backed terrorist group based in the Gaza Strip.
This is the same West Bank that the Biden administration and many Westerners are hoping will be part of a future Palestinian state next to Israel. Those who continue to promote the dangerous idea of a “two-state solution” are ignoring the fact that Hamas is sitting not only in the Gaza Strip, but in the West Bank as well.
Bizarrely, President Joe Biden and some Western leaders are continuing to talk about the need for establishing a sovereign and independent Palestinian state, even after the Hamas atrocities in October. What they are actually saying is: Now that Hamas has used the Gaza Strip to invade Israel and slaughter Jews, let’s give this Islamist terror group the West Bank so it, too, can use it to butcher Jews.

If Israel had done only 1% of what she is accused of by, for example, Abbas, there would be no PA, no Hamas and no Fatah.
I also agree with EvRe1 although as an American citiizen it deeply grieves me that the government of my native country (I’m a sixth generation American )is trying to destroy Israel.
May God bless Bassam Tawill. A true Righteous Gentile.
unbelievably poorly written article.
The guy repeats the same paragraphs several times. I don’t think he proofread it even once before publishing it.
I agree with Bassam Tawil. It is high time to end the delusion of Palestinian innocence.
The US government has so far failed in their efforts to destroy Israel. The Obama state department gave money to Netanyahu’s electoral rival, but Netanyahu got elected anyway. The Biden government gave money to Netanyahu’s rivals to form a coup d’etat and bring down the Netanyahu government. They failed to bring down Netanyahu’s government. The Obama back up plan was for Iran to destroy Israel, so Obama and Biden gave Iran billions of dollars to do just that.
But Israel is destroying Hamas.
The next back up plan to destroy Israel is the two state solution, a.k.a. the “final solution.”
And oh, by the way, the US government is dropping hints that Netanyahu’s days in office are numbered.
But Netanyahu is determined to win the war against Hamas and against all those Palestinazis who want to kill Jews.
I remember when Biden and his government said “Putin’s days are numbered.” Then Russia won the war in Ukraine. Now the only government that doesn’t admit it, is the US government.
Netanyahu is more popular in Israel and America than Joe Biden is in both countries. In the USA only 20% of Americans polled think the country is going in the right direction with Biden as president.
While many dark money groups and Soros fund fascist death cult Palestinian groups who demonstrate, a wide majority of the American people support Israel’s complete destruction of Hamas.
The two state solution has been dead for a long time, and the only ones who don’t know this are Obama and Biden and the hated US government.
