Netanyahu: A Jew-Free Palestinian State Would Be Ethnic Cleansing

(Algemeiner) Joshua Levitt - A "Jew-free" Palestinian state, now being contemplated in peace talks, would be tantamount to ethnic cleansing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Canada's CTV. While Arabs in Israel have full civic rights, "in the Palestinian state, the way its being contemplated, no Jew can live there, it has to be Jew-free, ethnic cleansing. Well, what is that? There are Arabs who live here, but they can't contemplate Jews living there." "It's absurd that we're willing to recognize, that I'm willing to recognize the Palestinians, but in exchange, they're not willing to recognize the Jewish state, the nation state of the Jewish people. There's something wrong there."
