(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - On July 26, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris stated that the "two-state solution is the only path" for Israel, and made clear her "serious concerns" about casualties in Gaza. "It's time for this war to end," she added. Yet on Oct. 6, 2023, there was a ceasefire in place between Israel and Hamas. Hamas broke it. Harris completely ignored the fact that the Palestinians of Gaza are suffering because of a war initiated by Hamas. She completely ignored that the Palestinians of Gaza are suffering because of a war initiated by Hamas. She could have done many Palestinians a favor had she called on Hamas to relinquish control over Gaza and stop using its people as human shields in its jihad (holy war) against Israel. Harris's remarks concerning the establishment of a Palestinian state in the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 atrocities show that she and the Biden administration continue to live in a fantasy world. The Oct. 7 massacres demonstrate why the creation of a Palestinian state is actually a surefire way to perpetuate the Palestinian jihad against Israel. Giving up the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem to the Palestinians would surely turn these two areas into launching sites for murdering more Jews as part of their jihadi commitment to destroy Israel. Instead of talking about a Palestinian state, Harris should have told the Palestinians that they will never achieve a state as long as they back Hamas or vow to destroy a UN member state. She should also have warned the Palestinians that they will never be granted their own state unless they recognize Israel's right to exist as the ancestral home of the Jewish people, stop radicalizing their youth, and renounce violence and terrorism. By advocating an end to the war in Gaza, Harris is asking that Israel, by allowing Hamas to remain in power, submit itself to unending jihadist attacks. What country would do that?
