The Palestinian Failed State Solution
(Jerusalem Post) Liat Collins - Congratulations to Norway, Ireland, and Spain on recognizing the failed State of Palestine. It took no moral courage, but a lack of a moral compass to officially declare recognition for a state that has no defined borders, no democracy, and an economy so bad that last week the World Bank warned that the Palestinian Authority faces "fiscal collapse." They ignored the PA's "Pay-for-slay" policy, supporting the families of murderous terrorists, while the Hamas regime in Gaza continues to persuade the world that it needs ever greater quantities of "humanitarian aid." Rockets from Gaza were launched again last week at Israeli civilians. These were war crimes. If the vast majority of UN members acknowledge the existence of a Palestinian state, why do the Palestinians need to maintain their UN-granted "perpetual refugee" status and massive funding? How can the Palestinians be considered refugees if they have their own state - particularly those living in that state? Those unilaterally recognizing a State of Palestine are rewarding terrorism and living in a state of denial.
