(JNS) Melanie Phillips - U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said last week that the administration was "actively pursuing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state." It's one thing to press for movement towards a Palestine state. Unilaterally recognizing it crosses a red line. Official recognition of a "Palestine" that doesn't exist is part of the strategy of diplomatic warfare against Israel promoted by those who want to see the Jewish state destroyed. Conceptually ridiculous, since it involves recognizing a "state" that has no physical form and no boundaries, it would remove at a stroke the necessity for the Palestinian Arabs to agree to live in peace alongside Israel. Instead, it would incentivize still further their rejection of Israel's right to exist. And what a time to announce this, when Israel is in the throes of a war for its existence after the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. A Palestinian state would be a Hamastan on steroids. While Israel is forced to sacrifice the flower of its youth as it fights for its life, its so-called allies threaten to hang the Jewish state out to dry once again.
